Description
Overview:
The 6203 C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing is a high-quality, open-type single-row bearing for general-purpose use across industrial, automotive, and garden machinery. Made from hardened bearing steel with precision-ground raceways, it supports primarily radial loads with capability for light axial loads in both directions, helping reduce friction and wear on rotating shafts. This genuine NTN component (MPN: NTN6203C3), manufactured in Japan, offers dependable performance in electric motors, pumps, alternators, and compact machinery. Dimensions are 17mm inner diameter, 40mm outer diameter, and 12mm width. The open face design suits applications where routine lubrication and visual inspection are preferred. With C3 internal clearance, it accommodates thermal expansion and higher running speeds, helping maintain smooth, efficient rotation under varying operating conditions.
Key Features:
- Genuine NTN bearing, MPN NTN6203C3, made in Japan for consistent quality
- Deep groove design for stable radial load support and light axial load handling
- C3 internal clearance for reliable performance at higher speeds and temperatures
- Open face for easy lubrication, cleaning, and inspection
- Robust hardened bearing steel for durability and long service life
- Precision-ground raceways for smooth running and reduced noise/vibration
- Standard 6203 size (17x40x12mm) for straightforward replacement and interchangeability
- Suited to electric motors, alternators, pumps, gearboxes, and compact equipment
- Compatible with common housings and 17mm shafts in industrial and garden machinery
- Reliable choice for preventative maintenance and equipment overhauls
Typical Applications:
Commonly used in electric motors, alternators, water pumps, conveyor rollers, small gearboxes, fans, generators, lawn and garden machinery, and compact construction equipment. Ideal where dependable radial support, low friction, and easy maintenance are required. Suitable for workshop repairs and OEM-style replacements in machinery that runs at moderate to high speeds under everyday service conditions.
