6201-2RSNR/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201-2RSNR/C3 is a high-performance, single row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. Its key advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while offering operational reliability. The bearing features an integral snap ring on the outer ring for simplified axial location and is sealed to protect against contamination. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards with a C3 radial internal clearance, it is an excellent choice for applications requiring robust performance and simplified assembly.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6201 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore. |
| -2RS | The bearing is fitted with contact seals on both sides. This provides superior protection against the ingress of contaminants and the egress of lubricant. |
| NR | Indicates the outer ring has a snap ring groove and is supplied with a snap ring. This allows for simplified axial location within a housing. |
| /C3 | Denotes a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is suitable for applications with high operating temperatures or where shaft and housing fits may cause a reduction in clearance. |
6201-2RSNR/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Sealing: The double-sided contact seals (2RS) effectively shield the bearing's internals from dust, moisture, and other contaminants, significantly extending service life and reliability in harsh environments.
- Simplified Assembly and Axial Location: The integrated snap ring (NR) on the outer ring eliminates the need for complex housing shoulders or end caps, reducing assembly time and cost.
- Optimized for Thermal Expansion: The C3 radial internal clearance accommodates thermal expansion of the bearing and its surrounding components, preventing preload and potential seizure under high-temperature operating conditions.
- High-Quality Construction: Made entirely from chrome steel for the rings, balls, and cage, this bearing offers high strength, durability, and consistent performance under dynamic load ratings up to 1529 lbf.
