Main description (SEO)

The FAG 6204 TVH C4 ball bearing with dimensions 20 x 47 x 14 mm is a single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding industrial environments where elevated operating temperatures and high rotational speeds are expected. The bearing is equipped with a TVH polymer cage, which offers low weight, reduced friction and stable guidance of rolling elements under dynamic operating conditions.

The C4 internal clearance indicates an increased radial clearance compared to standard bearings. This feature is essential in applications where thermal expansion of the shaft or bearing housing occurs during operation. The enlarged clearance ensures correct internal geometry under load, contributing directly to high durability, reduced wear and extended service life in continuous operation.

This ball bearing is suitable for carrying radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its standard dimensions, it can be easily installed in a bearing housing or used as part of a complete bearing unit in various machine assemblies. Its performance characteristics make it a reliable solution for long-term industrial use.

Typical industrial applications include electric motors, fans, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors and production machinery where stable operation, thermal resistance and predictable performance are required. The bearing is widely used by maintenance teams, OEM manufacturers and industrial service providers.

Manufactured to strict quality standards by FAG, this bearing ensures dimensional accuracy, repeatable performance and compatibility with professional industrial systems.

Difference: 6204 TVH C4 vs 6204 C TVH C4

There is no technical difference between 6204 TVH C4 and 6204 C TVH C4.
The additional letter C placed before TVH appears in some catalog entries or distributor descriptions and does not change the bearing design or performance.
