2201-2RS Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 2201-2RS is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high rigidity and reliable performance under combined loads. This sealed bearing excels in its ability to support significant radial loads and bidirectional axial loads simultaneously, thanks to its optimized double-row ball complement and contact angle. Its compact design, featuring a 12 mm bore and 32 mm outside diameter, makes it an ideal precision bearing for space-constrained, high-reliability assemblies. Pre-lubricated and sealed for life, it offers a maintenance-free solution for demanding industrial environments.
2201-2RS Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 2201 | Basic bearing designation | Defines the bearing size with a 12mm bore, 32mm OD, and 14mm width |
| 2RS | Double rubber contact seals | Provides superior protection against contaminants and retains lubricant effectively |
2201-2RS Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row design significantly increases bearing rigidity and enables superior performance under combined loads. This construction provides stable operation and extended service life in applications with complex loading conditions.
Optimized Sealing & Lubrication: The 2RS rubber seals on both sides effectively shield the bearing interior from contaminants while retaining the factory-applied lubricant. This sealed-for-life construction ensures consistent performance and eliminates maintenance requirements.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, with a nylon cage for reduced friction and smooth operation. The bearing features CN radial internal clearance as standard, making it suitable for most industrial applications requiring precision bearings.
Temperature Performance: Operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C allows for reliable performance across diverse environmental conditions while maintaining lubricant integrity and seal effectiveness.
