6206-RS1/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6206-RS1/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. As a metric bearing with a sealed construction, it excels in providing robust radial load support while offering protection against contaminant ingress. Its key advantages include a generous C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used, and a sealed design that helps retain lubrication and exclude contaminants, promoting longer service life with minimal maintenance.
6206-RS1/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6206 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 30mm bore, 62mm OD, and 16mm width. | Defines the core bearing dimensions and type. |
| RS1 | Indicates the bearing is fitted with a synthetic rubber contact seal on one side. | Provides effective sealing against dust and moisture, protecting the bearing interior. |
| C3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance greater than the Normal (CN) group. | Accommodates thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, preventing preload and potential seizure. |
6206-RS1/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & Load Capacity: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings, balls, and cage, this bearing delivers high strength and durability. It features a deep groove raceway geometry, enabling it to support significant radial dynamic loads (up to 4384 lbf) and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Sealed & Protected Design: The integrated RS1 rubber seal effectively shields the rolling elements and raceways from contaminants like dust and dirt, while also helping to retain any supplemental grease. This enhances operational reliability in harsh environments.
- Optimized for Thermal Conditions: The C3 internal clearance is a critical feature for applications where operational heat causes the shaft or housing to expand. This prevents a reduction in clearance that could lead to increased friction, heat generation, and premature failure.
- Standard Precision & Speed: Conforming to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it offers reliable performance for a wide range of industrial applications, with a limiting speed of 11,000 rpm.
