Product Overview: The 6204 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 6204 bearing is one of the most widely used and versatile rolling bearings, a key component in our 6200 Series of Deep Groove Ball Bearings. With its standard dimensions of 20mm bore diameter, 47mm outer diameter, and 14mm thickness, it is engineered to support both radial and axial loads in both directions. Its simple design, high-speed capability, and robust performance make it an ideal choice for a vast range of industrial and mechanical applications.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 6204 features deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves that have a close osculation with the balls. This design allows it to accommodate high rotational speeds while maintaining low friction and minimal noise. As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide 6204 bearings that meet stringent industry standards, ensuring reliability and a long service life for your machinery. Variants such as shielded (ZZ) and sealed (2RS) are commonly available to protect against contaminants and retain lubricant.
