W 6201-2RS1/VP311 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6201-2RS1/VP311 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high reliability and performance in demanding applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its sealed design (2RS1) and premium grease lubrication (VP311), which provide effective protection against contaminants and ensure long-term, maintenance-free operation. This bearing is engineered to handle primarily radial loads and is characterized by its compact dimensions, low weight, and suitability for applications requiring a P0 tolerance class.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a bearing with a stainless steel construction. |
| 6201 | The basic bearing designation, indicating a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12 mm bore, 32 mm OD, and 10 mm width. |
| 2RS1 | Signifies contact seals on both sides. These seals provide superior protection against the ingress of contaminants compared to non-contact shields. |
| /VP311 | Indicates the bearing is filled with a specific, high-performance grease. This grease is suitable for the specified temperature range and contributes to the bearing's long service life and limiting speed. |
W 6201-2RS1/VP311 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Full Stainless Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are made from stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments, including those involving moisture or certain chemicals.
- Robust Sealing: The 2RS1 contact seals effectively retain lubrication and exclude dust, dirt, and moisture. This feature is critical for applications where reliability and low maintenance are paramount.
- Optimized Lubrication: The pre-applied VP311 grease ensures immediate and consistent lubrication from the moment of installation. It is formulated to perform reliably within the temperature range of -30°C to 120°C, supporting the bearing's limiting speed of 15,000 rpm.
- Deep Groove Raceway: The geometry of the deep groove raceway enables the bearing to accommodate not only radial loads but also moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Standard Internal Clearance (CN): Provides a versatile fit for a wide range of standard operating conditions and mounting fits.
W 6201-2RS1/VP311 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Food and Beverage Processing Equipment: Where corrosion resistance and washdown capability are required.
- Medical and Laboratory Devices: For precision mechanisms requiring clean, reliable, and maintenance-free operation.
- Electrical Motors and Small Gearboxes: Utilized for supporting shafts and handling radial loads in compact spaces.
- Agricultural Machinery: Components exposed to weather and abrasive environments.
- Material Handling Conveyors: Idler rollers and guide pulleys in various industrial settings.
