6201 TN9/C3MTF3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201 TN9/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high performance in demanding applications. This precision bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and offers reliable operation. Its key advantages include a high limiting speed of 22,000 rpm, facilitated by the lightweight Nylon cage (TN9), and an optimized radial internal clearance (C3) for applications with thermal expansion or heavy loads. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it ensures consistent quality and smooth operation.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6201 | Standard series designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore and 32mm outside diameter. |
| TN9 | Indicates a glass fiber reinforced Nylon 66 cage. This cage design is lightweight, reduces friction, and is ideal for high-speed applications. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is beneficial for applications where thermal expansion is a factor or where heavy load conditions are present. |
6201 TN9/C3MTF3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The TN9 Nylon cage minimizes centrifugal forces and friction, enabling the bearing to achieve its high limiting speed of 22,000 rpm. This makes it an excellent choice for high-speed motors and spindles.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 1529 lbf and a static load rating of 686 lbf, this bearing provides reliable performance under significant radial loads.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 clearance provides operational stability in applications prone to shaft expansion due to heat or under heavy loading, preventing premature failure.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it guarantees dimensional accuracy and smooth, low-vibration rotation for consistent application performance.
