Product Overview: The 3204 Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 3204 bearing is a high-performance component from our 3200 Series of Angular Contact Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 20x47x20.6mm, this bearing features a double row design, which is functionally equivalent to two single row angular contact ball bearings arranged back-to-back but requires less axial space. This configuration allows it to accommodate radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions, making it exceptionally versatile and robust for a wide range of industrial applications.
Engineered for applications demanding high rigidity and the ability to manage combined loads, the 3204 bearing provides a reliable and compact solution. Its design ensures precise shaft guidance and can handle tilting moments, making it a staple in complex machinery. As a trusted supplier, we ensure our 3204 bearings meet stringent quality standards for optimal performance and durability.
