6201-2RSH/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201-2RSH/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high performance in demanding applications. This sealed bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and is characterized by its robust construction and precision manufacturing to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards. Its key advantages include a generous C3 radial internal clearance for stable operation under thermal expansion, and high-quality chrome steel components for durability and long service life.
6201-2RSH/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6201 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore, 32mm OD, and 10mm width. | Defines the core dimensions and bearing type. |
| 2RSH | Contact seals on both sides, made of NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). | Provides superior protection against contaminants and retains lubricant effectively, enhancing bearing life in harsh environments. |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than Normal (C0) group. | Accommodates thermal expansion in applications with high operating temperatures or heavy loads, preventing premature failure. |
6201-2RSH/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Deep Groove Raceway & Single Row Design: Optimized for high-capacity radial load support, ensuring smooth rotation and low vibration.
- High-Quality Chrome Steel Construction: All core components—rings, balls, and cage—are manufactured from chrome steel, providing high hardness, wear resistance, and a long operational lifespan.
- Superior Sealing with 2RSH: The contact seals on both sides offer excellent defense against dust, moisture, and other contaminants. This makes the bearing pre-lubricated for life and suitable for applications where re-lubrication is difficult.
- Optimized Internal Clearance (C3): The C3 clearance is ideal for applications subject to significant temperature variations or where fits result in a reduction of internal clearance, ensuring stable performance and preventing seizure.
- Precision Tolerance (ABEC 1 | ISO P0): Manufactured to standard precision grades, guaranteeing consistent quality, reliable running accuracy, and interchangeability.
