SKF 6201/C3 deep groove ball bearing is an open single row bearing with increased C3 internal clearance and dimensions of 12x32x10mm. It supports radial and axial loads in both directions while providing smooth rotation with low friction. The additional internal clearance helps accommodate changes caused by operating temperatures and shaft fits. Its open design allows direct lubrication and makes it suitable for machinery with appropriate sealing and lubrication arrangements.
The SKF 6201/C3 features deep raceway grooves and a sheet metal cage that guides the rolling elements. Its simple construction supports high rotational speeds while helping reduce noise and vibration during operation. The bearing is manufactured from bearing steel and has a non separable design that allows straightforward installation.
The main distinguishing feature is its C3 radial internal clearance. This provides greater internal clearance than a standard bearing with normal clearance. The additional clearance helps compensate for reductions caused by tight shaft fits and temperature differences between the bearing rings. This makes correct clearance selection important for maintaining suitable operating conditions.
The SKF 6201/C3 has an open design without seals or shields. This allows lubricant to reach the rolling elements directly and provides flexibility when using grease or oil lubrication. As the bearing has no built in protection against contamination, suitable external sealing should be considered. Proper lubrication is also essential for reliable operation.
With dimensions of 12x32x10mm, the SKF 6201/C3 is designed for assemblies requiring this bearing size and increased internal clearance. Before purchasing, check the required clearance class and operating conditions. Shaft fits and lubrication requirements should also be considered to ensure the bearing is appropriate for the intended application.
