W 6206/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6206/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for reliable performance in demanding applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. A key feature is its C3 radial internal clearance, which makes it particularly suitable for applications with elevated operating temperatures or where fits result in a reduction of internal clearance. This bearing is designed to handle primarily radial loads and is characterized by its high limiting speed and robust dynamic load capacity, ensuring long service life and operational reliability.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a stainless steel bearing, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. |
| 6206 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 30mm bore, 62mm OD, and 16mm width. |
| /C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving thermal expansion or interference fits. |
W 6206/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Both rings and balls are made from stainless steel, making this bearing ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or wash-down environments.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 clearance prevents bearing seizure and reduces preload in applications where thermal expansion is a factor, contributing to stable operation and extended bearing life.
- High-Speed Capability: The deep groove raceway and precision-ground components enable a high limiting speed of 16,000 rpm, suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 3709 lbf and a static load rating of 2518 lbf, this bearing provides reliable support for significant radial loads.
- Standard Precision: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent and reliable performance for general industrial applications.
