6001/C4 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6001/C4 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in a wide range of industrial applications. This metric bearing excels in handling primarily radial loads and offers a high limiting speed. A key feature is its specified C4 radial internal clearance, which makes it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where interference fits are used, ensuring reliable operation and extended service life. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options tailored to specific operational needs.
6001/C4 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. |
| /C4 | Radial Internal Clearance | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications with high temperatures or heavy loads to prevent binding. |
6001/C4 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized for Demanding Conditions: The specified C4 clearance is a primary structural feature that provides a safety margin against thermal expansion and deformation under load, preventing premature failure and ensuring smooth rotation.
- High-Speed Capability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, this bearing offers a reliable balance of precision and cost-effectiveness for high-speed applications, with a limiting speed of 27,000 rpm.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 1147 lbf and a static load rating of 54 lbf, it provides dependable performance under significant radial loads.
- Durable Construction: All core components—rings, balls, and cage—are made from high-grade Chrome Steel, ensuring high strength, wear resistance, and long-term durability.
- Versatile Lubrication: The open seal type allows for the application of a wide range of lubricants, enabling optimal performance customization for specific temperature and speed requirements.
