SKF 6004 2RZTN9 C3 VT162 Ball Bearing 20x42x12

Construction and design

SKF 6004 2RZTN9 C3 VT162 is a precision engineered deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable operation in electric motors, industrial machinery and mechanical drive systems. Its robust design and carefully optimized geometry ensure low friction, stable rotation and long service life in demanding operating environments.

Deep groove ball bearings are the most commonly used rolling bearings in industrial engineering due to their versatility and ability to support both radial and moderate axial loads. The SKF 6004 2RZTN9 C3 VT162 model combines advanced sealing technology with optimized internal geometry to provide high operational reliability.

This bearing uses low friction seals marked 2RZ, which protect internal components against contamination while maintaining smooth rotational performance. The TN9 polyamide cage ensures stable ball guidance while reducing internal friction and vibration at higher speeds.

In addition, the C3 internal clearance allows for thermal expansion and improved performance in applications where higher temperatures or rotational speeds occur.
