6001/C3W64 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6001/C3W64 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for reliable performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing is characterized by its ability to accommodate high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its open design and C3 radial internal clearance make it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where higher operational speeds are required. The integration of Soild Oil lubrication ensures long-term, maintenance-free operation across a wide temperature range, offering a robust solution for general industrial use.
6001/C3W64 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 6001 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore, 28mm OD, and 8mm width. | Defines the core bearing dimensions and type for compatibility and interchangeability. |
| /C3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance greater than normal (C3 group). | Accommodates thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, ideal for applications with high operational temperatures or where interference fits are used. |
| W64 | Indicates the bearing is pre-lubricated with Soild Oil (a solid polymer-based lubricant). | Provides maintenance-free operation, excellent resistance to wash-out, and consistent performance from -30°C to 120°C. |
6001/C3W64 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized for Radial Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is precision-engineered to support significant radial dynamic load ratings of up to 1147 lbf, making it a durable choice for rotating shafts.
Enhanced Operational Flexibility: The C3 internal clearance provides greater operational tolerance for thermal expansion and high-speed conditions, contributing to a limiting speed of 27,000 rpm.
Long-Life, Maintenance-Free Operation: The Soild Oil lubrication system is permanently embedded, eliminating the need for re-lubrication and preventing contamination. This is ideal for sealed-for-life applications or environments where grease purging is undesirable.
Precision and Consistency: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class with components made from chrome steel, this bearing ensures consistent running accuracy and long-term reliability.
6001/C3W64 Bearing Typical Application Areas
This versatile bearing is commonly specified in:
- Electric Motors and Generators: For supporting rotor shafts where high speeds and reliability are critical.
- Industrial Gearboxes and Transmissions: As a reliable component for handling radial loads.
- Material Handling Equipment: Including conveyor rollers and pulleys.
- Agricultural Machinery: For applications requiring robustness and minimal maintenance.
- Ventilation and Fan Systems: Where its solid oil lubrication provides longevity in continuous operation.
