6001-ZTN9/C3VM036 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6001-ZTN9/C3VM036 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance applications requiring precision and reliability. This metric bearing features a shielded design (Z-type) and is pre-lubricated with VM036 high-performance grease, enabling extended service life without maintenance. Its optimized internal geometry and C3 radial internal clearance make it suitable for applications with moderate thermal expansion or demanding operational conditions. The combination of chrome steel rings, a nylon cage, and precision ABEC 1 tolerances ensures smooth operation, high limiting speeds, and consistent performance under radial loads.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6001 | Standard deep groove ball bearing series with 12mm bore, 28mm OD, 8mm width. |
| Z | One side shielded (non-contact) for contaminant protection while maintaining high speed capability. |
| TN9 | Nylon cage (glass fiber reinforced polyamide) design for reduced weight, quiet operation, and excellent high-speed performance. |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance for applications with shaft expansion or elevated temperatures. |
| VM036 | High-quality, lithium soap-based grease offering stable lubrication across the specified temperature range (-30°C to 120°C). |
6001-ZTN9/C3VM036 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Internal Design: The deep groove raceway and precision-ground chrome steel components provide excellent radial load capacity and smooth rotational characteristics.
- High-Speed Nylon Cage (TN9): The lightweight, robust cage minimizes friction and inertial forces, contributing directly to the high limiting speed of 27,000 rpm and reduced operational noise.
- Shielded Protection & Pre-Lubrication: The Z-shield effectively retains grease and excludes larger contaminants. Combined with the VM036 grease fill, this creates a maintenance-free solution for the bearing's operational lifespan.
- C3 Radial Clearance: This specific internal clearance accommodates fits where interference is used or where operational heat generation causes dimensional changes, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload.
6001-ZTN9/C3VM036 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors: Ideal for small to medium-sized motors in appliances, power tools, and fans due to its high-speed capability and sealed design.
- Precision Gearboxes: Used in transmission systems requiring reliable, low-friction support for shafts.
- Office Automation Equipment: Commonly found in printers, scanners, and copiers where quiet, maintenance-free operation is critical.
- Medical Devices: Suitable for pumps, centrifuges, and small instruments that demand high reliability and cleanliness.
- General Industrial Machinery: Provides robust performance in conveyors, blowers, and other machinery with continuous radial load requirements.
