6201-2Z/C2 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201-2Z/C2 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Its key advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while offering a compact and robust solution. The inclusion of shields (2Z) provides effective protection against contaminant ingress, enhancing bearing service life. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards and featuring a C2 radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures consistent operation and is an excellent choice for applications requiring high reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Model Code Breakdown
- 6201: Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore and 32mm outside diameter.
- 2Z: Indicates the bearing is fitted with non-contact shields on both sides. This provides protection from contaminants while maintaining low friction and allowing for high-speed operation.
- C2: Denotes a radial internal clearance that is smaller than the normal (CN) group. This is beneficial for applications requiring precise shaft positioning and reduced noise and vibration.
6201-2Z/C2 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
The 6201-2Z/C2 utilizes a single row deep groove raceway design, which is fundamental to its ability to support significant radial loads. The chrome steel construction of the rings, balls, and cage ensures high durability and resistance to wear. The shielded (2Z) design is a critical feature, sealing the bearing against dust and other particles without the high torque associated with contact seals, thus supporting the bearing's limiting speed of 22,000 rpm. The specified C2 clearance contributes to high rigidity and precise rotational accuracy, making it suitable for electric motors, gearboxes, and other precision machinery.
6201-2Z/C2 Bearing Typical Application Areas
This versatile bearing is commonly found in:
- Electric Motors and Generators
- Gearboxes and Transmission Systems
- Industrial Fans and Blowers
- Agricultural Machinery
- Material Handling Equipment
- Appliance Motors (e.g., washing machines, dryers)
