The SKF 6010-2RS1/GJN sealed deep groove ball bearing is intended for rotating machinery that requires a 50mm shaft bearing with a defined lubricant specification. Its single row deep groove construction accommodates predominantly radial loading and moderate axial forces in both directions. The 6010 bearing design has a basic dynamic load rating of 22.9kN and a basic static load rating of 15.6kN, providing reference values for checking bearing life and load suitability. Its relatively slim 60 series profile is useful in compact motor housings and mechanical drives where the wider 62 or 63 series would be unnecessary. The pressed steel cage supports the rolling elements during operation.
The distinguishing feature is the GJN grease fill, which SKF identifies as a polyurea-thickened, mineral-oil-based lubricant used in electric motor bearing applications. Unlike an ordinary 6010-2RS1 designation, the GJN suffix explicitly specifies this grease type and should be matched when the original equipment manufacturer requires it. Rubber contact seals on both sides help retain grease and restrict dirt and moisture ingress, reducing routine lubrication needs. The 6010-2RS1 design has a published limiting speed of 5,000rpm, but actual suitability depends on temperature, loading and the specified grease. Normal radial internal clearance should also be checked against mounting fits and thermal expansion rather than assuming a C3 bearing is interchangeable.
Typical Applications:
Industrial electric motors with specified grease requirements
Ventilation fans and air-handling equipment
Industrial pumps and circulation systems
Conveyor drive and pulley shaft assemblies
Enclosed mechanical power transmission equipment
