W 6001-2Z/C2 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6001-2Z/C2 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high reliability in demanding applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its shielded design (2Z), which provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while the C2 radial internal clearance ensures optimal performance under light loads and high-speed conditions. This combination makes it a compact, durable, and maintenance-friendly solution for applications requiring precision and long service life.
W 6001-2Z/C2 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- W 6001: Basic bearing series, indicating a metric deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore and 28mm outside diameter.
- 2Z: Signifies that the bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. This provides good protection against dust and other particles while minimizing friction.
- C2: Denotes a radial internal clearance that is smaller than the Normal (CN) group. This is suitable for applications requiring precise shaft positioning and where operating temperatures are moderate.
W 6001-2Z/C2 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Corrosion Resistance & Cleanliness: The use of stainless steel for the rings and balls makes this bearing ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or requiring wash-downs, such as in food and beverage or medical equipment.
- Effective Contamination Protection: The double-shielded (2Z) construction effectively retains pre-lubrication and excludes larger particulate contaminants, enhancing bearing service life without the added friction of contact seals.
- Precision & High-Speed Capability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it ensures smooth and quiet operation. The C2 clearance and shielded design contribute to its high limiting speed of 36,000 rpm.
- Radial Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 994 lbf and a static load rating of 531 lbf, it is well-suited for applications with significant radial loads.
W 6001-2Z/C2 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors and small precision spindles.
- Medical and Dental Equipment due to its stainless steel construction and cleanliness.
- Food Processing and Packaging Machinery where corrosion resistance is critical.
- Office Automation Equipment such as printers and scanners.
