6206-2Z/C3 GJN Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6206-2Z/C3 GJN is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and offers high operational reliability. Its key advantages include a shielded design (2Z) for contaminant protection and a C3 radial internal clearance suitable for applications with thermal expansion or heavy interference fits. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it provides a cost-effective solution for general industrial use where precision and durability are essential.
6206-2Z/C3 GJN Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6206: Basic model number denoting a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 30mm bore and 62mm outside diameter.
- 2Z: Signifies that the bearing is shielded on both sides. These non-contact steel shields protect the internal components from contamination while allowing for high-speed operation.
- C3: Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is ideal for applications where thermal expansion is expected or where tight shaft and housing fits are used, preventing preload and ensuring smooth operation.
- GJN: Specifies the use of a standard grade, polyurea-thickened grease with a temperature range of -30°C to +120°C, offering good longevity and performance.
6206-2Z/C3 GJN Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
The bearing's performance is derived from its optimized construction. The single row deep groove raceway and high-grade chrome steel construction (rings, balls, and cage) provide excellent dynamic load capacity (4384 lbf) and durability. The shielded (2Z) design effectively retains the grease and excludes larger contaminants, contributing to a long service life and reduced maintenance. The specified C3 clearance ensures reliable performance under varying thermal conditions, preventing binding and reducing friction. With a limiting speed of 11,000 rpm, it is well-suited for a wide range of industrial machinery.
6206-2Z/C3 GJN Bearing Typical Application Areas
