Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6004-2RSH/C4GJN, Outer diameter: 42 mm | Width: 12 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, ability to operate at high speeds, and low maintenance requirements.

This rigid ball bearing is designed to meet the needs of demanding industrial applications. It combines durability and performance thanks to its ability to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions. Easy to install, it offers a reliable and long-lasting solution to optimize equipment operation while minimizing maintenance requirements.

Features:
This single-row rigid ball bearing is equipped with nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) lip seals on both sides, ensuring effective protection against contaminants such as dust and water. The lightweight yet sturdy sheet steel cage ensures good resistance to constant loads, peak loads, and shocks. Its increased internal clearance (C4) allows for smooth operation, even at high speeds, while limiting friction and heat generation. This bearing is pre-lubricated (to 45–60% of the clear space) with a high-temperature mineral grease thickened with polyurea (diurea), ensuring consistent smooth operation even at very high speeds.

Maintenance:
This deep-groove ball bearing requires little maintenance thanks to its sealed design. The rubber seals effectively retain the lubricant inside, thereby reducing the need for maintenance. However, regular monitoring of temperature and vibrations is recommended to ensure optimal performance.

Sealing:
Thanks to its nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) lip seals, this bearing offers exceptional protection against contaminants. These seals prevent the ingress of particles and keep the lubricant inside, thereby extending the product’s service life. Resistant to oils and greases, they ensure effective sealing, even in damp or dusty environments.
