6904 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6904 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered with precision to ABEC-1 standards, this bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its compact design, featuring a 20 mm bore and a 9 mm width, makes it an ideal solution for space-constrained assemblies requiring high operational reliability and consistent performance.
6904 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 6904 | Basic series designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore and 37mm outside diameter. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields, allowing for higher speed capability and requiring external sealing for contaminated environments. |
| C0 (Radial Internal Clearance) | Standard, normal radial internal clearance group (0.006mm to 0.020mm). |
| ABEC-1 | Defines the precision tolerance class for dimensional accuracy and running performance. |
6904 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and high-quality chrome steel construction provide a radial dynamic load rating of 1436 lbf and a static rating of 828 lbf, ensuring durability under significant radial stresses.
- High-Speed Capability: The stainless steel cage and open design contribute to a high limiting speed of 22,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding high-rotation applications.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards with strict bore, outside diameter, and width tolerances, guaranteeing smooth operation and reduced vibration.
- Robust Material Selection: Rings and balls made from chrome steel offer high hardness and wear resistance, while the stainless steel cage provides excellent corrosion resistance and strength.
