W 6201-2RS1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6201-2RS1 is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. Engineered with stainless steel components, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to handle radial loads efficiently, while the integrated contact seals (2RS1) provide robust protection against contaminants and retain lubrication, ensuring long service life and maintenance-free operation in a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
W 6201-2RS1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- W: Bearing series designation.
- 62: Basic series code for deep groove ball bearings.
- 01: Bore diameter code. Specifically indicates a 12 mm bore diameter.
- -2RS1: Signifies that the bearing is equipped with two rubber contact seals, one on each side. These seals provide superior protection against dust, moisture, and other contaminants compared to non-contact shields.
W 6201-2RS1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Robust Construction: Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is inherently corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for harsh environments, including those with exposure to water or chemicals.
Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and precision-ground components enable it to carry significant radial dynamic loads (1286 lbf) and radial static loads (674 lbf).
Sealed and Lubricated for Life: The 2RS1 contact seals effectively shield the internal components. The bearing is pre-lubricated with grease, creating a sealed-for-life unit that requires no re-lubrication, reducing maintenance needs.
Precision and Speed: Built to P0 tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, it ensures smooth and reliable operation, with a limiting speed of 15,000 rpm.
W 6201-2RS1 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The W 6201-2RS1 is ideally suited for applications requiring reliability, corrosion resistance, and minimal maintenance. Common uses include:
- Food and Beverage Processing Equipment
- Medical and Dental Devices
- Chemical Handling Pumps and Mixers
- Electric Motors and Small Gearboxes
- Conveyor Systems in wash-down environments
- Precision Instruments and office automation equipment
