SKF 6004 Deep Groove Ball Bearing (20x42x12 mm)

Advantages & Key Benefits

• Low friction, efficient operation: Deep groove geometry gives smooth rotation and energy efficiency.

• Versatile mounting: Suitable for radial loads and moderate axial loads.

• Wide variant selection: Open, shielded (ZZ) or sealed (2RS) versions allow adaptation to different environments.

• High durability: Excellent fatigue strength and stability under load.

• Global reliability: SKF brand ensures consistent quality, tolerances, and compatibility.

• Reduced maintenance: Sealed versions (2RS) help keep contaminants out and retain lubricant.

Common Applications

• Electric motors and generators

• Pumps, fans, blowers

• Gearboxes and transmissions

• Industrial machinery and automation

• Home appliances and power tools

• Conveyor systems and mechanical drives

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Apply force only to the appropriate bearing ring (inner or outer) — avoid pressing through shields or seals.

• Use correct mounting tools to protect the bearing.

• If using sealed (2RS) bearings, lubrication is factory-filled; avoid re-lubrication unless specified.

• Monitor bearing temperature and vibration during initial run-in.

• In dusty or wet environments, prefer sealed or shielded variants (e.g., 6004 2RS).

• For high-temperature or chemical environments, review seal and material compatibility.
