6201-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201-2Z/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. This shielded bearing excels at handling radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include a compact design, high operational reliability, and the benefit of being pre-lubricated and shielded for long service life, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring minimal maintenance.
6201-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6201 | Basic bearing series, indicating a standard metric single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore. |
| 2Z | Specifies shielded on both sides. The non-contact steel shields protect against contamination while allowing for high-speed operation. |
| C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is beneficial for applications with thermal expansion, such as in electric motors. |
6201-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, this bearing offers excellent durability. It features a dynamic load rating of 1529 lbf and a static load rating of 686 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under significant radial loads.
- Optimized for High-Speed Operation: With a limiting speed of 22,000 rpm, the bearing is well-suited for high-velocity applications. The pressed steel cage and precision-ground components contribute to smooth, high-speed rotation.
- Enhanced Operational Reliability with C3 Clearance: The C3 radial internal clearance provides extra space between the rolling elements and raceways. This design accommodates thermal expansion in applications like electric motors, preventing premature failure due to thermal seizure.
- Maintenance-Free & Contamination Resistant: The 2Z shields on both sides effectively retain the factory-applied grease and protect the internal components from dust and other contaminants, significantly extending the bearing's service life without the need for re-lubrication.
6201-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Typical Application Areas
