6001/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6001/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in general industrial applications. This metric bearing features an open design and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent quality and interchangeability. Its key advantage lies in its specified C3 radial internal clearance, which is wider than standard, making it particularly suitable for applications where thermal expansion or shaft misalignment is a concern. This bearing is engineered to handle primarily radial loads efficiently.
6001/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 6001 | Basic Bearing Number | Denotes a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore, 28mm OD, and 8mm width. |
| /C3 | Radial Internal Clearance | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications with expected temperature variations or where fits may lead to a reduction in clearance. |
6001/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Open Seal Type: The open construction allows for easy re-lubrication and is ideal for applications where heat dissipation is a priority. It offers low friction, contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 27,000 rpm.
- Robust Material Construction: All core components—rings, balls, and cage—are made from Chrome Steel, providing high strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
- C3 Radial Clearance: This specific feature provides operational reliability in environments prone to thermal expansion, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload. It accommodates slight misalignments more effectively than bearings with standard clearance.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) tolerance standards, this bearing ensures smooth and quiet operation, making it a cost-effective solution for a wide range of machinery.
