6206-2Z/C3WT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6206-2Z/C3WT is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high reliability in demanding applications. Featuring shielded construction (2Z) and C3 radial internal clearance, this metric bearing delivers robust radial load capacity while maintaining operational stability across a wide temperature range. Its precision-ground chrome steel components and ABEC 1 precision class ensure consistent performance in industrial environments requiring dependable rotational accuracy.
6206-2Z/C3WT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Performance Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6206 | Standard deep groove ball bearing series with 30mm bore | Proven design for radial load applications |
| 2Z | Double shielded construction on both sides | Effective contamination protection without speed reduction |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in high-temperature applications |
| WT | No lubrication (dry) | Suitable for applications where external lubrication is preferred |
6206-2Z/C3WT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Load Distribution: The single row deep groove raceway geometry enables efficient handling of radial loads up to 4384 lbf dynamic rating, while the precision-ground balls and raceways minimize friction and heat generation.
Enhanced Contamination Resistance: Double steel shields (2Z) provide effective protection against particulate ingress while maintaining the bearing's limiting speed of 11,000 rpm, unlike contact seals that create drag.
Thermal Stability: The C3 radial clearance accommodates differential thermal expansion between inner and outer rings, preventing preload conditions in applications operating within the -30°C to 120°C temperature range.
Material Integrity: Manufactured from chrome steel throughout (rings, balls, and cage), the bearing ensures consistent material properties and thermal expansion characteristics for reliable operation.
6206-2Z/C3WT Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors: Main shaft support in industrial motors requiring shielded protection
