Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the BS 6204-2RS-SS different from standard steel bearings?
A: The BS 6204-2RS-SS is constructed entirely from stainless steel, including the races, balls, and cage. This construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to hardened chrome steel, making it suitable for wet environments, cold storage, and corrosive conditions.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the BS 6204-2RS-SS bearing?
A: The BS 6204-2RS-SS cross-references to S6204-2RS, SS6204-2RS, 6204-2RS standard interchange, 204PP from Timken and Fafnir, 204SZZ from MRC, 204NN from Norma Hoffman, 99504 from New Departure, 6204LL from NTN, 62042RS from SKF, FAG, Koyo, and SNR, 6204VV from NSK, and 62042NSL from Nachi. Always verify dimensions match your equipment.
Q: What is the dynamic load rating for the BS 6204-2RS-SS?
A: The BS 6204-2RS-SS has a dynamic load rating of 2,880 pounds, providing adequate support for radial and moderate axial loads in manual pallet jack and industrial applications.
Q: What are the dimensions of the BS 6204-2RS-SS bearing?
A: The BS 6204-2RS-SS features a 20 mm bore, 47 mm outside diameter, and 14 mm width with dual nitrile rubber seals. These dimensions match standard 6204-2RS configurations from major manufacturers.
Q: When should I use the stainless steel BS 6204-2RS-SS instead of standard steel bearings?
A: Use the BS 6204-2RS-SS in wet environments, cold storage facilities, food processing areas, or any application where moisture and corrosion are concerns. The stainless construction extends bearing life and prevents rust and degradation in harsh conditions.
Q: Is the BS 6204-2RS-SS compatible with manual pallet jacks?
A: Yes, the BS 6204-2RS-SS is fully compatible with manual and electric pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major manufacturers that use standard 20 mm bore load wheels. It fits the same 20 mm bore, 47 mm outer diameter configuration as standard models.
Q: How should the 6204-2RS bearing be stored before use?
A: Store bearings in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and corrosive materials. Keep original packaging intact to protect from contamination. For stainless steel bearings like the BS 6204-2RS-SS, storage conditions are less critical than standard steel, but dry storage still extends shelf life and maintains performance.
