Features of 6220M/C4VL0241

Common Applications of Electrically Insulated Bearings

Electrically insulated bearings are commonly used in applications where rotating equipment is exposed to electrically induced damage, such as motors and drives. The insulation acts as a protective barrier, blocking electrical current paths through the bearing. This helps prevent corrosion, lubricant degradation, and premature failure—ultimately improving reliability and reducing unplanned downtime.

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Motors

High-frequency switching in VFDs generates shaft voltages that, if left unprotected, discharge through standard bearings and cause premature failure. In mining ventilation systems, WEG W22 motors incorporate the 6220M/C4VL0241 on the non-drive end (NDE) to provide protection in dusty, variable-load environments. The bearing’s insulated outer ring shields against common-mode currents generated by the inverter, while its unrestrained mounting accommodates thermal expansion and extends service life.

Pumps

In pump applications, the 6220M/C4VL0241 mitigates corrosion caused by grounding or drive-induced electrical currents, ensuring consistent fluid transfer performance. Its C4 internal clearance is especially beneficial for pumps handling warm fluids. For example, KSB Etanorm pumps operating in chemical circulation or irrigation systems rely on the 6220M/C4VL0241 to support high flow rates, resist VFD-related electrical currents, and prevent circulating current damage commonly seen in motor bearings.

Wind Turbines

In wind turbine applications, the 6220M/C4VL0241 electrically insulates generator components from high-frequency currents generated by power converters, contributing to overall renewable energy system reliability. GE 1.5-77 turbines use this bearing in yaw motors for blade alignment. The machined brass cage (M) withstands sudden load changes typical of wind power applications, while the insulation protects against grid fluctuations—ensuring stable energy output under variable climate conditions.

Q&A

How much larger is C4 clearance compared to C3? When is C4 a must-have choice?

C4 clearance is larger than C3 within defined standard ranges. C4 is recommended when the equipment operates under: (1) Very high expected bearing temperatures (e.g., high ambient or internal heat), (2) Heavy shock loads or constant strong vibration, (3) Interference fits on both shaft and housing with differing thermal expansion coefficients. It provides essential space for internal thermal expansion, preventing excessive heat and premature failure.

Does the insulation coating affect heat dissipation or dimensional accuracy?

No negative impact. High-quality alumina coatings (e.g., VL0241) are applied precisely via processes like plasma spraying. The coating is uniform and very thin (typically 100-200 microns), already factored into the standard outer diameter dimension. Alumina has good thermal conductivity, so it doesn‘t hinder normal heat transfer. The bearing’s dimensional accuracy and tolerance fully comply with ISO standards.
