SKF 6204 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6204 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and efficient shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its normal radial internal clearance makes it suitable for rotating equipment where standard clearance is specified.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6204 features a single row of steel balls running between deep raceway grooves. Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support under suitable operating conditions.
With dimensions of 20x47x14mm, the bearing provides a compact arrangement for assemblies requiring the standard 6204 bearing size.
Open Design and Internal Clearance
The bearing features an open design without seals or shields. This allows grease or oil to reach the rolling elements directly and provides flexibility for machinery with a suitable lubrication system.
It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is specified. External sealing may be necessary to protect against contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6204 can be considered for rotating machinery where its dimensions and operating characteristics meet the equipment requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Conveyor equipment
Mechanical drive assemblies
General industrial machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6204 offers several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports efficient rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove construction supports relatively high rotational speeds with suitable lubrication.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Effective Shaft Support: Its deep raceways and bearing steel construction provide reliable support under suitable operating conditions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 20x47x14mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Check operating loads and speeds alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure should also be considered. If increased internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, an appropriate SKF 6204/C3 or sealed or shielded variant may be more suitable.
