6018-2RS1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6018-2RS1 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding industrial applications. This sealed bearing excels at handling radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its compact design, combined with P6 tolerance class precision, ensures high running accuracy and reliable operation. The integrated seals and factory-applied grease make it a robust, ready-to-install solution for applications requiring long service life with minimal maintenance.
6018-2RS1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 6018 | Basic bearing designation indicating a 90mm bore, 140mm OD, and 24mm width. | Standardized dimensions for easy interchangeability and sourcing. |
| 2RS1 | Contact rubber seals on both sides of the bearing. | Provides superior contamination protection and effective grease retention compared to non-contact shields. |
6018-2RS1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity & Rigidity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is optimized to support high radial dynamic load ratings (13,601 lbf) and moderate axial loads. Manufactured from chrome steel rings and balls, the bearing delivers excellent durability and resistance to deformation under load.
- Precision & Smooth Operation: Built to P6 tolerance class with a standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures precise shaft positioning, reduced vibration, and smooth rotation, which is critical for high-performance machinery.
- Maintenance-Free & Long Service Life: The 2RS1 contact seals effectively shield the bearing from contaminants like dust and moisture while retaining the factory-applied grease lubrication. The stainless steel cage provides high strength and corrosion resistance, contributing to reliable performance across the specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
- Speed Performance: With a limiting speed of 2,800 rpm, the bearing is suitable for a wide range of industrial speeds, supported by its stable cage design and effective lubrication.
