(6304 bearing)
The 6304 bearing
series represents a critical component in rotational systems, featuring 20mm bore diameter and 52mm outer diameter. With dynamic load capacity reaching 15.8kN and maximum rotational speed of 9,500 rpm (oil lubrication), these bearings outperform 60% of similar-sized alternatives in axial load handling. The C3 clearance variant specifically addresses thermal expansion challenges in high-speed applications between 80-120°C operating temperatures.
Parameter | 6304 Standard | 6304 C3 | 6304 ZZ |
---|---|---|---|
Radial Clearance (μm) | 8-20 | 23-43 | 8-20 |
Max Speed (Grease) | 6,800 rpm | 6,200 rpm | 6,500 rpm |
Noise Level | 28 dB | 32 dB | 26 dB |
Advanced manufacturing techniques enable 6304 series bearings to achieve 18% higher fatigue life compared to ISO 281 standards. The Z-type shield variant demonstrates 99.3% particle exclusion efficiency in contaminated environments, while specialized heat treatment creates surface hardness of 60-64 HRC without compromising core toughness.

Custom configurations include:
In automotive alternators, 6304 C3 bearings demonstrate 92% reliability after 100,000 km. Food processing equipment utilizing sealed variants maintains 86% efficiency after 5,000 wash cycles. Industrial pumps equipped with customized 6304 ZZ bearings show 40% longer maintenance intervals compared to standard models.
Proper clearance selection reduces thermal failure risk by 73% in high-speed applications (above 8,000 rpm). For vibration-sensitive environments, the Z-shield variant decreases acoustic emissions by 42% compared to open-type bearings. Hybrid ceramic versions extend service intervals by 2.8x in electrical motors operating above 15,000 rpm.

A: The standard 6304 bearing dimensions are 20mm inner diameter, 52mm outer diameter, and 15mm width. These measurements comply with ISO 15:2017 standards. Variations like 6304 C3 or 6304 Z share the same core dimensions.
A: The C3 suffix indicates greater internal clearance than standard bearings. This design accommodates thermal expansion in high-speed or high-temperature applications. It's ideal for machinery with frequent temperature fluctuations.
A: The 6304 Z features a single metal shield (Z suffix) that prevents dust ingress while retaining lubrication. Unlike open bearings, it requires less maintenance but has slightly higher friction. Suitable for contaminated environments needing basic protection.
A: A standard 6304 bearing typically handles 15.6kN dynamic load and 10.2kN static load. Radial load capacity decreases slightly in C3 clearance variants. Always verify manufacturer specs for exact performance data.
A: Yes, 6304-ZZ (dual shields) can replace 6304 if enhanced contamination protection is needed. Ensure replacement maintains equivalent clearance ratings (C3/normal). Verify axial space for slightly wider shield profile.
