6204 Bearing
Bore (d) 20 mm
Outside diameter (D) 47 mm
Width (B) 14 mm
Inches (bore × OD × width) 0.7874 × 1.8504 × 0.5512″
Deep-groove ball bearing, light (6200) series. Seal/shield suffixes (ZZ, 2RS, …) change the closures, never these dimensions — a 6204-ZZ and 6204-2RS are the same size.
What the number means
- 6 — deep-groove ball bearing
- 2 — dimension series (light (6200))
- 04 — bore code × 5 = 20 mm
