SKF 6204-2RSLTN9/HC5C3WT Hybrid ceramic deep groove ball bearing with low-friction seals on both sides

Hybrid ceramic single row deep groove ball bearings with low-friction seals on both sides have rings made of bearing steel and rolling elements made of bearing grade silicon nitride, which make the bearings electrically insulating. The low-friction seals provide better sealing effectiveness than shields and non-contact seals, thus providing significantly prolonged bearing service life, yet they can still operate at the same speeds as shields. The ceramic rolling elements not only provide protection from electric current damage but also, when compared to same-sized bearings with steel rolling elements, provide enhanced bearing performance, extended bearing service life, higher speed capability, high wear-resistance, high bearing stiffness, reduced risk of smearing and false brinelling and less sensitivity to temperature gradients, making them suitable for use in dificult conditions and contaminated environments.
