Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6204-2RS2/C3WT, 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.

With its ability to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions, this bearing offers increased versatility and high durability. Its FKM lip seals and increased radial clearance make it an ideal choice for dusty or humid environments, while ensuring smooth operation at high speeds.

Features:
This SKF bearing features a C3 internal radial clearance that reduces friction caused by metal expansion at high speeds, thereby enabling higher rated speeds. The fluoroelastomer (FKM) lip seals effectively protect the rolling elements from dust, water, and other contaminants. The polyurea-thickened grease lubricant is designed to operate in temperature ranges from -40 to +160 °C. The sheet steel cage is impact-resistant while offering good load-carrying capacity. This bearing is therefore ideally suited for high-speed machinery and critical applications where service life is essential.

Maintenance:
It requires very little maintenance thanks to its sealed lip seals, which effectively retain the lubricant inside. However, it is recommended to periodically check the operating temperature and vibrations to detect any signs of failure early on. Lubrication is provided by factory greasing, which minimizes maintenance requirements and ensures optimal long-term performance.

Sealing:
The fluorocarbon elastomer (FKM) lip seals on this bearing provide a perfect seal against moisture, dust, and other external contaminants. Thanks to their excellent chemical compatibility, resistance to a wide range of temperatures, low compression set (CS), and remarkable aging properties, these elastomers are now essential materials for sealing applications. This protection extends the product’s service life while maintaining effective internal lubrication. The seal prevents the intrusion of particles, ensuring smooth operation even in harsh environments such as industrial sites exposed to dust or moisture.
