Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6204 -TB-P63

The FAG 6204 -TB-P6-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 20x47x14 mm, with a hard-fibre cage and P6 tolerance, offers precise guidance with increased C3 radial clearance.

The 6204 -TB-P6-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel for industrial applications. With a bore of 20 mm, an outside diameter of 47 mm and a width of 14 mm, this rolling bearing fits into standardised housing bores. In this FAG design, the component combines enhanced manufacturing precision with a lightweight hard-fibre cage, making it designed for reduced friction and smooth running.

In which applications does the 6204 -TB-P6-C3 deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This open deep-groove ball bearing is primarily suitable for high-speed applications where radial forces predominate and axial forces must be accommodated. The design is rated for an operating temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees. As the bearing is open at both ends, it is preferably used in sealed housings with a lubrication circuit. The open design allows the lubricant to circulate unhindered and dissipate frictional heat.

What is the function of the hard-fabric cage, P6 tolerance and C3 clearance?

The combination of these suffixes indicates a specific configuration for demanding operating conditions. The hard-fibre cage (TB) has a low weight and reduces inertia compared to metal cages. The P6 tolerance class denotes tighter dimensional, geometric and running accuracies compared with standard tolerances. The increased radial clearance (C3) compensates for thermal expansion caused by heating during continuous operation, ensuring that the rolling elements do not become stressed.
