Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6004-2Z/C3VT127B, 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 deep groove ball bearing is designed to deliver optimal performance across a wide range of industrial applications. Thanks to its ability to support radial and axial loads in both directions, it is ideal for environments requiring a reliable, high-performance, and easy-to-install bearing. Its increased internal radial clearance and low friction allow for high rotational speeds while ensuring a long service life. This product is particularly well-suited for applications requiring low rolling resistance while offering some protection against solid particles.

Features:
This single-row deep groove ball bearing features a sheet steel cage that provides good resistance to constant loads while withstanding shocks and peak loads. It is equipped with metal shields, providing effective protection against contamination. With increased internal radial clearance (C3), it reduces internal friction, allowing for smoother rotation even at high speeds. This bearing is also designed to withstand heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads, offering flexibility for use in a variety of conditions. Its design provides high strength while minimizing friction losses. This bearing is pre-lubricated with VT127 grease, which is resistant to heat and high-speed applications.

Maintenance:
This deep-groove ball bearing requires little maintenance thanks to its lifetime lubrication with high-quality grease. It therefore does not require relubrication, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime. However, regular inspections are recommended to monitor the product’s integrity. It is advisable to check for noise, temperature, and the overall condition of the bearing.

Sealing:
This bearing is equipped with two metal shields, which play a key role in protecting against medium-sized contaminants, such as debris or metal particles, while maintaining low lubricant loss. This sealing design helps extend the bearing’s service life but offers only moderate protection against moisture. In extremely humid environments, additional protective measures may be necessary to prevent corrosion.

Key Features:
• Effective protection against solid particles thanks to the metal shields.
• Lifetime lubrication for reduced maintenance costs and minimized downtime.
• Increased internal radial clearance (C3) for high rotational speeds and low friction.
• Supports radial and axial loads in both directions for increased versatility.
• Easy to install, offering immediate and reliable performance.

Applications:
This deep-groove ball bearing is ideal for applications requiring high speed and reliable operation, such as electric motors, fans, pumps, and machine tools. Its ability to withstand moderate temperatures and its low friction levels make it particularly suitable for environments where thermal expansion is a significant factor. It is also used in mechanisms where protection against contamination and reduced friction are essential, while offering a long service life.
