6205-Z/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6205-Z/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered with precision to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it delivers reliable operation and long service life. A key feature is its shielded (Z) design on one side, which offers effective protection against contaminant ingress while retaining lubricant. Combined with a C3 radial internal clearance, this bearing is optimally suited for applications involving thermal expansion or where interference fits are used, ensuring stable performance under varying operational conditions.
Model Code Breakdown
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6205 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 25mm bore, 52mm OD, and 15mm width. | Defines the core bearing dimensions and type for interchangeability. |
| -Z | Indicates a shielded (non-contact) closure on one side. | Protects against contaminants, reduces friction, and is ideal for high-speed applications. |
| /C3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance greater than normal (C3 group). | Accommodates thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, preventing preload and ensuring smooth operation. |
6205-Z/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway design enables the bearing to handle significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile component for combination loads.
- High-Speed Capability: The low-friction design, complemented by the non-contact shield, allows for a limiting speed of 13,000 rpm, suitable for demanding rotational applications.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel for the rings, balls, and cage, this bearing ensures high strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
- Precision Engineering: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it guarantees running accuracy, reduced vibration, and consistent performance in general precision machinery.
