6804 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6804 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in compact spaces. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, it features a standard open design that facilitates easy re-lubrication. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, this bearing ensures reliable operation and is characterized by its low weight and high limiting speed, making it an ideal choice for applications demanding high rotational accuracy and efficiency.
6804 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix / Prefix | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 68 | Series Code | Denotes a deep groove ball bearing series with a specific cross-section. |
| 04 | Bore Diameter Code | Indicates a 20 mm bore diameter (04 x 5 = 20 mm). |
| (None) | Seal/Shield Designation | The absence of a suffix indicates an open (unsealed) bearing, allowing for versatile lubrication options. |
| (None) | Cage Designation | Standard stainless steel cage is used, offering good durability and corrosion resistance. |
| (None) | Internal Clearance | Standard C0 radial internal clearance (0.006mm to 0.020mm) is standard for this model. |
6804 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Deep Groove Raceway: The deep groove geometry of both inner and outer rings enables the bearing to efficiently support significant radial dynamic load ratings (904 lbf) and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a lightweight stainless steel cage and precision-ground chrome steel components allows for a high limiting speed of 25,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding rotational applications.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight bore and outside diameter tolerances, ensuring smooth, quiet, and vibration-free operation, which is critical for maintaining system accuracy.
- Robust Material Construction: The use of high-carbon chrome steel for rings and balls provides excellent hardness and wear resistance, contributing to a long service life under standard operating conditions.
- Flexible Lubrication: The open seal type design allows for the use of various lubricants tailored to specific application needs, including high-speed greases or oil systems, to optimize performance across its operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
6804 Bearing Typical Application Areas
