Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6204-2Z/C3HT, Outer diameter: 47 mm | Width: 14 mm | Inner diameter: 20 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep-groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, their ability to operate at high speeds, and their low maintenance requirements.

This SKF rigid ball bearing is an essential component for ensuring the proper operation of industrial machinery. Designed for high performance, it stands out for its durability and ability to withstand demanding operating conditions. This product is ideal for applications requiring high rotational speeds while maintaining low friction, making it indispensable for optimizing productivity.

Features:
This single-row deep groove ball bearing features a sheet steel cage, ensuring exceptional strength. With an internal radial clearance of C3, it is designed to promote efficient heat dissipation and enable smooth rotation even at high speeds. The two metal shields provide protection against contaminants, although their effectiveness is limited to medium-sized particles. This product is permanently lubricated with a polyurea-thickened grease rated NLGI Class 2 to 3 for temperatures ranging from -40 to +150 °C.

Maintenance:
Maintenance of this bearing is minimal thanks to its innovative design. Lubricated for life, it does not require relubrication, which reduces maintenance costs. However, periodic inspections are recommended to monitor the bearing’s condition, particularly by checking noise and temperature levels. If signs of wear appear, prompt replacement is advised to prevent further damage.

Sealing:
The metal shields integrated into this bearing provide effective protection against medium-sized contaminants. This shield system creates a mechanical barrier that prevents debris from entering, while allowing for efficient heat dissipation. However, it is important to note that this seal is not completely effective against fine particles or liquids, which may limit its use in particularly dusty or humid environments. The shields also help reduce lubricant loss.
