6201/C3VG043 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6201/C3VG043 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding industrial applications. This metric precision bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options, and the C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers reliable operation and high cost-effectiveness for a wide range of machinery.
6201/C3VG043 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6201 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore and 32mm OD. |
| /C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance, ideal for applications with shaft expansion or heavy interference fits. |
| VG043 | Manufacturer-specific code, typically referring to a specific chrome steel material grade and manufacturing process for consistent quality. |
6201/C3VG043 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and single row design provide excellent radial load capacity (1529 lbf dynamic, 686 lbf static), making it a robust choice for various mechanical systems.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 22,000 rpm, this bearing is engineered for high-velocity applications. The chrome steel cage ensures stability and reduced friction at elevated rotational speeds.
