The SKF deep groove ball bearing of the RS/C3GWP series is a precision component designed to support radial and axial loads in both directions. Its sealed construction and C3GWP internal clearance make it suitable for applications requiring protection against contaminants and moderate temperature conditions. It is a reliable solution for industrial machinery operating continuously, and MR Accesorios Industriales offers it as part of its SKF bearing line.
The designation of this series is interpreted by its suffixes. The code RS indicates contact sealing on both sides, which retains the lubricant and blocks the ingress of dust and moisture. The suffix C3GWP combines an internal radial clearance greater than standard (C3) with a specific factory lubrication (GWP), designed for particular thermal ranges. A concrete example is 6004-2RS2/C3GWP, where the number 6004 defines the size and the suffixes the sealing and clearance characteristics. Knowing this nomenclature allows you to choose the correct bearing without ambiguity.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment in Argentina: electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors and machine tools, among others. Their ability to support combined loads and their sealing make them suitable for environments with dust or moderate moisture. Industries such as food, chemical, metallurgical and mining rely on this series to maintain process continuity. MR Accesorios Industriales offers them to meet these demands with technical advice.
When selecting a bearing of this series, take into account the internal clearance: C3GWP offers greater clearance than normal, which compensates for thermal expansion and reduces the risk of seizure in applications with elevated temperatures. The RS seal is contact-type, so it requires a well-machined support surface and careful alignment to avoid damaging the lips. The GWP lubrication is factory-defined; do not mix it with other lubricants. During mounting, avoid hitting the seals and verify that the housing and shaft meet the recommended tolerances.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, deep groove ball bearings with sealing and C3 clearance from different manufacturers often share standardized dimensions, allowing replacements between brands. However, lubrication conditions and seal materials may vary. Therefore, it is always advisable to verify the complete designation and consult a specialist before replacing a bearing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on compatibility with your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 6004-2RS2/C3GWP bearing?
- The SKF 6004-2RS2/C3GWP bearing has a 20 mm bore, a 42 mm outside diameter and a 12 mm width (20 x 42 x 12 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 6004.
- What does the C3GWP suffix mean in this bearing?
- C3 indicates an internal radial clearance greater than standard, suitable for applications with thermal expansion. GWP refers to factory lubrication with a specific grease for certain temperature ranges. Together, they define the bearing's behavior in service.
- Does this bearing come with sealing on both sides?
- Yes, the RS designation indicates contact sealing on both sides. This protects the lubricant and prevents the entry of contaminants, although it requires precise alignment to avoid damaging the sealing lips during mounting.
- Can I replace a bearing from another brand with this SKF one?
- In general, deep groove ball bearings with standardized dimensions are interchangeable between brands, but lubrication and sealing conditions may differ. Always verify the complete designation and consult us via WhatsApp to confirm compatibility.
