6000-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6000-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high reliability in demanding applications. This metric bearing excels at handling radial loads and offers robust performance due to its precision construction. Its key advantages include a high limiting speed and a generous radial internal clearance (C3), making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion considerations. The integrated seals and nylon cage contribute to its long service life and consistent operation.
6000-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6000: Basic series designation, indicating a standard single row deep groove ball bearing with a 10mm bore.
- 2RSL: Signifies that the bearing is fitted with contact seals on both sides. The "RS" denotes a nitrile rubber seal, and "L" indicates a light contact design, offering effective protection against contaminants with low friction.
- TN9: Designates the cage material and type. "TN" indicates a glass fiber reinforced polyamide (Nylon) cage, and "9" signifies a specific cage design. This cage is lightweight, promotes smooth operation at high speeds, and is resistant to many chemicals.
- C3: Specifies the radial internal clearance group. A C3 clearance is greater than the standard (CN) clearance, making it ideal for applications where thermal expansion of the shaft or housing is expected, or where high operating temperatures are present.
- VT162: This suffix is not a standard universal designation and typically refers to a specific manufacturer's lubricant. In this context, it indicates the bearing is pre-lubricated with a special high-performance grease.
6000-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Sealing & Contamination Resistance: The 2RSL contact seals effectively shield the internal components from dust, moisture, and other contaminants, significantly extending bearing life in harsh environments.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of the lightweight nylon (TN9) cage and optimized internal geometry allows for a high limiting speed of 31,000 rpm, making it an excellent choice for high-speed applications.
- Thermal Stability & Load Handling: The C3 radial internal clearance accommodates dimensional changes from thermal expansion, preventing pre-load and ensuring smooth operation under varying temperature conditions. The bearing is rated for a substantial radial dynamic load of 1023 lbf.
- Pre-Lubricated for Longevity: Pre-filled with a specialized VT162 grease, the bearing is ready for immediate use and requires no initial maintenance, providing long-term, reliable lubrication within its specified temperature range.
6000-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors and small power tools where high speed and sealed operation are critical.
- Pumps, compressors, and gearboxes that require reliable performance in contaminated or humid conditions.
- Material Handling Equipment such as conveyor rollers and fans.
- Various industrial machinery and automotive components demanding a compact, sealed, and high-speed bearing solution.
