6206-2ZNR/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6206-2ZNR/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for exceptional performance in demanding applications. This shielded bearing features an integral snap ring on its outer ring, enabling simplified axial location within a housing. Its C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Designed for radial loads, it offers high reliability, compact design, and is supplied without lubrication for operational flexibility.
6206-2ZNR/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 2Z | Non-contact shields on both sides | Provides effective protection against contamination while maintaining high-speed capability and low friction. |
| NR | Snap ring groove and snap ring fitted on outer ring | Eliminates the need for a separate bearing housing shoulder, simplifying assembly and reducing overall system size and cost. |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, preventing preload and ensuring optimal performance under high-temperature conditions or tight fits. |
6206-2ZNR/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing delivers high strength and durability. With a radial dynamic load rating of 4384 lbf, it is built to handle significant radial forces over long service life.
- Simplified Assembly with Snap Ring: The integrated snap ring (located on a 67.7 mm diameter, 1.7 mm width groove) provides a positive axial location, making installation easier and the overall design more compact by removing the requirement for complex housing geometries.
- Optimized for Thermal & Fit Conditions: The C3 clearance is a critical feature that prevents bearing seizure or excessive preload in applications where operational heat causes expansion of adjacent components or where press fits are utilized.
- Shielded & Unlubricated: The non-contact 2Z shields effectively keep contaminants out without significantly increasing rotational torque. Supplied without grease, it offers flexibility for the user to apply a lubricant best suited for the specific application environment.
