W 6202/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6202/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for exceptional performance in demanding applications. Constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (rings and balls), it offers superior reliability in harsh environments. Its defining characteristic is the C3 radial internal clearance, which accommodates thermal expansion and interference fits, making it ideal for applications with elevated operational temperatures or where tight shaft fits are required. This bearing is designed to handle primarily radial loads and provides high operational precision as an ABEC 1 / ISO P0 class component.
W 6202/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| W | Stainless Steel Bearing | Indicates the rings and balls are made from stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance. |
| 6202 | Standard Bearing Size Designation | Denotes a metric series bearing with a 15mm bore, 35mm OD, and 11mm width. |
| /C3 | Radial Internal Clearance | Specifies a clearance greater than normal (C0), allowing for thermal expansion and press fits. |
W 6202/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The use of stainless steel for all critical components ensures long-term performance and reliability in wet, chemically aggressive, or washdown environments, reducing maintenance needs.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: The deep groove raceways are precision-ground to support high radial dynamic load ratings (1432 lbf) and facilitate smooth, low-vibration operation at speeds up to 30,000 rpm.
- Enhanced Operational Flexibility: The C3 clearance is a critical feature that prevents bearing seizure under conditions of shaft thermal expansion or heavy press-fitting, ensuring consistent performance and longevity.
- Open Design & Versatility: As an open bearing, it allows for the use of specialized lubricants tailored to specific application requirements, offering flexibility for custom solutions.
W 6202/C3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
This bearing's combination of corrosion resistance, high-speed capability, and expanded internal clearance makes it suitable for a wide range of industries and equipment, including:
- Food and Beverage Processing Machinery
- Medical and Laboratory Equipment
- Chemical Handling Pumps and Mixers
- Marine and Outdoor Applications
- Electric Motors and Small Gearboxes
