6018-2RS1/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6018-2RS1/C3 is a sealed deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. This single row bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its compact design and C3 radial internal clearance make it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion or where fits result in a reduction of internal clearance. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers a robust balance of precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness for general industrial use.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6018 | Basic bearing series, indicating a medium width and a 90mm bore diameter. |
| 2RS1 | Features contact seals on both sides. The RS1 seal is made of Nitrile Rubber (NBR), providing effective protection against contaminants and retaining lubricant. |
| C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is advantageous in applications with high operating temperatures or tight housing fits to prevent binding. |
6018-2RS1/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, this bearing ensures high strength and wear resistance. With a dynamic load rating of 13,084 lbf and a static load rating of 11,173 lbf, it is built to handle significant radial loads over a long service life.
- Effective Sealing for Contaminated Environments: The 2RS1 double-contact seals provide a high degree of protection against dust, moisture, and other contaminants, making the bearing suitable for harsh operating conditions and contributing to its maintenance-free operation.
- Optimized for Thermal & Fit Conditions: The C3 internal clearance is a key feature that prevents pre-loading and potential seizure in applications where thermal expansion is a factor or where interference fits are used.
- Broad Operating Range: The bearing can operate within a temperature range of -30°C to 120°C, accommodating a wide variety of industrial environments.
