FAG 6304 C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing 20x52x15 mm

Construction and characteristics

FAG 6304 C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for applications requiring increased internal clearance and stable performance under thermal expansion. The C3 clearance allows the bearing to operate efficiently at higher speeds and temperatures compared to standard clearance bearings.

Manufactured from high quality bearing steel with precision ground raceways, the FAG 6304 C3 ensures uniform load distribution and long service life. The open design enables flexible lubrication depending on the specific industrial application.

Industrial applications

FAG 6304 C3 deep groove ball bearing is widely used in electric motors, industrial pumps, compressors and ventilation systems. The 20x52x15 mm bearing size is particularly common in medium duty machinery operating continuously under varying thermal conditions.

In conveyor systems and production lines, the 6304 C3 bearing provides smooth rotation and reduces the risk of overheating, ensuring consistent performance and operational reliability.
