Decoding SKF 6004-2RS2/C3GWP
- 60Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 60 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 04Bore
- Bore 20 mm (04 × 5).
- 2RS2/C3GWPSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6004 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6004-2RS2/C3GWP measures 20 mm across the bore and 42 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 12 mm (20 x 42 x 12 mm).

For radial and axial loads in both directions, the SKF deep groove ball bearing of the RS/C3GWP series combines contact sealing with a specific internal clearance and factory lubrication. This makes it a practical choice for equipment exposed to dust or moderate moisture and for operating conditions where thermal expansion must be managed. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the suffix code helps you confirm the right bearing for the job. RS means contact seals on both sides, which keep lubricant in and contaminants out. C3GWP pairs a radial internal clearance larger than standard (C3) with a defined factory grease (GWP) for particular temperature ranges. In a reference such as 6004-2RS2/C3GWP, the 6004 sets the size while the suffixes define sealing and clearance. This nomenclature removes guesswork at selection.
Typical applications include electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors and machine tools. The design handles combined loads, and the sealing suits environments with dust or moderate moisture. Food processing, chemical, metallurgical and mining operations use this series to keep processes running. MR Industrial Accessories offers these bearings with technical support to match them to your equipment.
When specifying, pay attention to internal clearance: C3GWP provides more clearance than normal, which compensates for thermal expansion and lowers the risk of seizure at elevated temperatures. Because the RS seal is contact-type, the support surface must be well machined and alignment accurate to avoid damaging the lips. The GWP grease is factory-set, so do not mix it with other lubricants. During mounting, protect the seals and verify that shaft and housing meet recommended tolerances.
On interchangeability, deep groove ball bearings with seals and C3 clearance from different manufacturers often share standardized dimensions, so replacements between brands are common. However, lubrication and seal materials can differ. Always check the complete designation and consult a specialist before substituting a bearing. Our team can help you confirm compatibility with your application.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6004-2RS2/C3GWP bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6004-2RS2/C3GWP measures 20 mm across the bore and 42 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 12 mm (20 x 42 x 12 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6004.
- What does the C3GWP suffix indicate?
- C3 is an internal radial clearance greater than standard, which suits applications with thermal expansion. GWP refers to factory lubrication with a specific grease for certain temperature ranges. Together they define how the bearing performs in service.
- Is this bearing sealed on both sides?
- Yes. The RS designation means contact sealing on both sides. This retains lubricant and blocks contaminants, but it also requires precise alignment to prevent damage to the sealing lips during mounting.
- Can I replace a bearing from another brand with this SKF one?
- Deep groove ball bearings with standardized dimensions are often interchangeable between brands, but lubrication and sealing conditions may vary. Always verify the complete designation and contact us via WhatsApp or email to confirm compatibility.
