6201-2Z/VK285 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201-2Z/VK285 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. Engineered with shielded construction on both sides, it offers effective protection against contaminant ingress while maintaining low friction operation. This bearing excels in handling radial loads and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, ensuring consistent quality and precision. Its compact design and robust construction make it an ideal choice for applications requiring high reliability and long service life.
6201-2Z/VK285 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6201: Basic bearing series, indicating a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore, 32mm OD, and 10mm width.
- 2Z: Signifies double-shielded construction (one shield on each side). This provides effective sealing against dust and other contaminants while allowing for higher rotational speeds compared to contact seals.
- VK285: Denotes a specific pre-lubrication with a high-performance grease. This grease is suitable for the specified temperature range and contributes to the bearing's ready-to-install, maintenance-free characteristics.
6201-2Z/VK285 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
The single row deep groove raceway geometry is optimized for radial load capacity. The use of chrome steel for all critical components (rings, balls, cage) ensures high strength, durability, and resistance to wear. The double shields (2Z) protect the internal components from contamination, significantly extending bearing life in unclean environments. Combined with the pre-lubrication (VK285), this design offers a maintenance-free solution, reducing the need for re-lubrication. The bearing's CN radial internal clearance and standardized dimensional tolerances ensure predictable performance and ease of installation.
6201-2Z/VK285 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 6201-2Z/VK285 is widely used across various industries due to its versatility and reliability. Common applications include:
- Electric Motors and small machinery
- Power Tools and handheld devices
- Pumps and Fans
- Conveyor systems and material handling equipment
- Automotive components (e.g., alternators, idler pulleys)
