The covers of the 6004 bearing are mainly divided into three types, ZZ, 2RS and OPEN.
A 6004 deep groove ball bearing generally consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, a spherical rolling element and a cage.The orbital ditch is slightly larger than the radius of the steel ball.Due to the point contact between the ball and the track, the 6004 bearing can withstand the bidirectional axial load in addition to the radial load. It is generally used in pairs in the normal situation, to reduce the induced load causing the internal axial forces using radial load.

Usually, 6004 bearings are used on automotive、industrial machinery、electric fan、household appliances…etc
The 6004 bearing is used to support and facilitate the rotation of components such as wheels, motors, fans, and drums to ensure smooth operation and reliable performance. Its excellent durability, precision, and load-bearing capacity make the 6004 bearing an indispensable component in various equipment.

6004 bearings are commonly used in household appliances such as washing machines, fans, power tools, and domestic electrical devices. They provide smooth rotational movement, reduce friction and noise, ensuring the proper operation and durability of these home appliances.

A 6004 bearing is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with a 20 mm bore (d), 42 mm outer diameter (D), and 12 mm width (B). It is typically made from GCr15 bearing steel.
6004 ZZ has metal shields on both sides, 6004 2RS has rubber seals on both sides, and 6004 OPEN has no seal. Choose 2RS for higher contamination protection, and ZZ or OPEN when prioritizing high-speed rotation.
In 6004, "6" indicates a single-row deep groove ball bearing, "0" indicates the extra-light series, and "04" indicates a 20 mm bore. Understanding the code helps you compare specs within the same series during selection.
6004 bearings are common in automotive applications, industrial machinery, electric fans, power tools, and home appliances. They support rotating parts such as wheels, motors, fans, and rollers for smooth operation with lower friction and noise.
Both the 6004 and 6204 bearings share a 20 mm bore, but the 6204 has a 47 mm outer diameter and 14 mm width, giving it higher load capacity. If space allows and loads are higher, the 6204 may be worth evaluating; final selection should be confirmed by load, speed, and mounting conditions.
If you already have a model number, spec, drawing, or application context, share your requirements and we can help assess selection for the 6004 or a suitable alternative.
