6304-2ZNR Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6304-2ZNR is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for superior performance in demanding applications. This precision bearing features integral shielded protection and a critical snap ring groove on its outer ring, enabling secure and space-saving axial location within a housing. Its design is optimized to handle significant radial loads while operating efficiently across a wide temperature range. Manufactured to P0 tolerance class with standard CN radial internal clearance, it delivers reliable, high-quality performance for industrial machinery requiring robust and maintenance-friendly solutions.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6304 | Basic bearing series, indicating a medium-duty, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore, 52mm OD, and 15mm width. |
| 2Z | Designates non-contact shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against contamination while minimizing friction, contributing to a high limiting speed. |
| NR | Indicates a snap ring groove on the outer ring. This feature simplifies bearing mounting and axial retention in the housing, reducing assembly complexity and cost. |
6304-2ZNR Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Load Capacity: Constructed from high-grade Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers a dynamic load rating of 3777 lbf and a static load rating of 1754 lbf, ensuring durability under substantial radial loads.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of low-friction 2Z shields and a lightweight, durable stainless steel cage allows for a high limiting speed of 15,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
- Simplified Assembly & Axial Location: The integrated snap ring groove (NR) eliminates the need for complex housing shoulders or end caps, providing a secure and compact axial locating solution.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The bearing is pre-lubricated with grease and sealed with shields, offering long-term, maintenance-free operation and protection against lubricant loss and contaminant ingress.
- Precision & Consistency: Manufactured to P0 (Normal) tolerance class, it guarantees dimensional accuracy and reliable performance for a wide range of industrial applications.
