6206-2ZK/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6206-2ZK/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding applications. Engineered with metric dimensions and manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, this bearing offers a reliable solution for carrying significant radial loads. Its core advantages include high operational reliability, versatility across a wide temperature range, and robust construction using high-grade chrome steel for all critical components. The combination of shielded design and a C3 radial internal clearance makes it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where a tighter fit is required.
6206-2ZK/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6206 | Basic bearing series and size designation (30mm bore, 62mm OD, 16mm width). |
| 2Z | Bearing is shielded on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while allowing for high-speed operation. |
| K | Indicates a tapered bore (conical bore) of 1:12 on the inner ring. |
| /C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is ideal for applications with expected thermal expansion, interference fits, or where shaft and housing alignment may be a concern. |
6206-2ZK/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway and continuous shoulder design enable the bearing to handle not only high radial loads but also moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Shielded Protection (2Z): Steel shields on both sides effectively retain the factory-applied lubricant and protect the internal components from dust and other contaminants, enhancing bearing service life without the friction associated with contact seals.
- Optimized for Challenging Conditions (C3 Clearance): The C3 radial internal clearance provides operational stability in environments with elevated temperatures or where press-fits are used, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload.
- High-Speed Capability: The precision-ground chrome steel balls and raceways, combined with the low-friction shield design, contribute to a high limiting speed of 11,000 rpm.
- Material Integrity: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel, including the ball complement and cage, ensuring high strength, durability, and consistent performance.
6206-2ZK/C3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 6206-2ZK/C3 is a versatile component found in a wide array of industrial machinery. Its combination of load capacity, speed capability, and contaminant protection makes it ideal for:
- Electric Motors and Gearboxes
- Industrial Pumps and Fans
- Material Handling Equipment
- Agricultural Machinery
- General machinery requiring a reliable, single row ball bearing with a tapered bore for secure mounting.
