6001-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6001-2Z/C3GWP is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Its key advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while offering a compact and cost-effective solution. This bearing is characterized by its shielded construction, which provides effective protection against contaminant ingress, and its specified C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications involving thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it ensures reliable and consistent operation, establishing it as a fundamental component for general machinery requiring dependable performance.
6001-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 6001 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore. | Defines the core dimensions and type. |
| 2Z | Bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. | Offers effective protection against dust and other contaminants while maintaining low friction and a high limiting speed. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. | Accommodates thermal expansion from high-speed operation or tight interference fits, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload. |
| GWP | Indicates the bearing is pre-lubricated with a specific grease. | Provides long-term, maintenance-free operation right from installation, suitable for the specified temperature range. |
6001-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Deep Groove Raceway and High-Quality Construction: The optimized raceway geometry and construction from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage enable smooth operation and high radial dynamic load rating of 1147 lbf, ensuring durability under load.
- Shielded Protection (2Z): The non-contact steel shields on both sides effectively seal the bearing against contaminants like dust and dirt without significantly increasing friction torque. This contributes to the bearing's high limiting speed of 27,000 rpm and extends service life in unclean environments.
- Optimized Internal Clearance (C3): The C3 radial internal clearance provides operational stability in applications prone to thermal expansion or where shaft and housing fits create a reduction in internal clearance. This prevents binding and overheating, enhancing reliability.
- Pre-Lubricated for Longevity (GWP): The factory-applied grease ensures immediate and maintenance-free operation, reducing the need for re-lubrication and simplifying the supply chain and installation process.
