Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6004-2RZTN9/C3VT162, 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 offers an excellent combination of durability and ease of use, capable of withstanding radial and axial loads in both directions. Designed by SKF for long-lasting performance, it delivers optimal efficiency for a wide range of industrial applications. Its precise design and high-quality construction make it a reliable choice for systems requiring high speeds and low maintenance.

Features:
Designed with a glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide cage that provides excellent mechanical stability while reducing overall weight, this model features non-contacting rubber seals on both sides, ensuring protection against contaminants while maintaining low starting torque—ideal for high-speed rotation. The increased internal radial clearance (C3) ensures better heat dissipation, enabling stable operation at high speeds. Furthermore, the cage design minimizes friction losses, ensuring smooth and quiet operation. This bearing is also permanently lubricated with Isoflex Topas NB 52 synthetic grease.

Maintenance:
This SKF deep groove ball bearing requires little maintenance thanks to its lifetime lubrication, which minimizes the need for service. However, it is recommended to perform regular inspections to monitor its overall condition, such as noise, temperature, or the integrity of the external components. Cleaning the external surfaces is also recommended to remove dust and debris that could compromise its performance.

Sealing:
This ball bearing is equipped with NBR seals on both sides, providing effective protection against contaminants such as medium-sized particles (fibers, gravel, chips, etc.). These non-contacting seals form a mechanical barrier that prevents the intrusion of large debris while keeping friction losses to a minimum. This protection system ensures a long service life for the internal grease, thereby improving the bearing’s durability.
