W 6201/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6201/C3 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring high precision and reliability. Constructed entirely from stainless steel components, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This bearing is characterized by its ability to handle primarily radial loads and its C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options, while the ABEC 1 precision class ensures consistent performance for general industrial use.
W 6201/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance. |
| 6201 | Standard bearing series designation indicating a light series with a 12mm bore, 32mm OD, and 10mm width. |
| /C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving shaft expansion, high speeds, or heavy loads where thermal effects must be accommodated. |
W 6201/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: The use of stainless steel for the rings and balls provides superior protection against rust and corrosion, ideal for harsh environments, food processing, and medical applications.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove construction is designed to support significant radial dynamic load ratings (1286 lbf) and is capable of handling moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Versatile Operating Range: The open seal type allows for the application of various greases or oils, enabling optimization for specific speed, temperature, and lifetime requirements. The wide temperature range (-30°C to 120°C) ensures performance stability.
- Precision & Reliability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) tolerance class, this bearing offers reliable running accuracy for a wide range of industrial machinery, contributing to smooth operation and reduced vibration.
W 6201/C3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
This single row ball bearing is widely used in various sectors due to its stainless steel construction and C3 clearance.
- Food and Beverage Processing Machinery
- Medical and Laboratory Equipment
- Chemical Handling Pumps and Mixers
- Agricultural Machinery
- Electric Motors and Gearboxes in corrosive environments
