Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 6204RS2C3 bearing specification?
A: The 6204RS2C3 is a deep groove ball bearing with 20 mm bore diameter, 47 mm outside diameter, and 14 mm width. The RS2C3 designation indicates a one-side contact seal (RS), two seals total configuration, and C3 internal clearance for lift truck and material handling equipment.
Q: What does the C3 internal clearance mean in the 6204RS2C3?
A: C3 internal clearance is a larger clearance specification that accommodates thermal expansion in high-speed or high-temperature applications. This clearance is commonly specified for fork lift bearing assemblies operating at moderate to high speeds.
Q: What is the seal configuration of the 6204RS2C3?
A: The 6204RS2C3 features RS seals, which are one-side contact seals providing contamination protection while minimizing friction. This configuration is suitable for lift truck wheel and undercarriage applications where bearing life and efficiency are both critical.
Q: Which lift truck types use the 6204RS2C3 bearing?
A: The 6204RS2C3 is compatible with various fork lift types from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major manufacturers. It is used in load wheel assemblies and suspension components on both electric and internal combustion lift trucks.
Q: How does the 6204RS2C3 compare to sealed bearing alternatives?
A: The 6204RS2C3 with one-side contact seals offers lower friction and better speed capability compared to double-sealed bearings like 6204Z or 6204ZZ, making it better suited for high-speed lift truck applications. However, it provides less contamination protection than fully sealed designs.
