W 6204-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6204-2Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for outstanding performance in demanding applications. Engineered with stainless steel construction throughout its rings, balls, and cage, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle primarily radial loads efficiently, while its shielded design provides reliable protection against contamination. This combination makes it a compact, durable, and highly reliable solution for applications requiring precision and long service life.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a specific series or manufacturer's prefix. |
| 6204 | Standard bearing designation indicating a deep groove ball bearing with a 20 mm bore, 47 mm OD, and 14 mm width. |
| -2Z | Signifies that the bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to the bearing's high limiting speed. |
W 6204-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction: The all-stainless steel build (rings, balls, and cage) ensures superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments, making it suitable for washdown or chemical exposure applications.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway geometry is engineered to support significant radial dynamic load ratings (2428 lbf) and radial static load ratings (1472 lbf).
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of low-friction 2Z shields, a stainless steel cage, and pre-lubrication with grease allows for a high limiting speed of 17,000 rpm, making it an excellent high-speed bearing choice.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The sealed unit, filled with grease, is lubricated for life under normal operating conditions. This maintenance-free feature reduces total cost of ownership.
- Precision Fit: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance and ease of installation in a wide range of applications.
