SKF 6201-2RSH Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6201-2RSH is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and efficient shaft support in compact mechanical assemblies. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while providing additional protection through integrated rubber contact seals.
Its factory grease lubrication and normal radial internal clearance make it a practical choice for equipment requiring the standard 6201 bearing dimensions with reduced routine maintenance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6201-2RSH features a single row of steel balls running between deep raceway grooves. A sheet metal cage separates and guides the rolling elements during rotation.
Its bearing steel construction provides effective load support under suitable operating conditions. With dimensions of 12x32x10mm, it offers a smaller outside diameter and narrower profile than the 6301 series while retaining the same 12mm bore.
2RSH Contact Seals and Internal Clearance
The 2RSH designation indicates rubber contact seals on both sides of the bearing. These help retain factory applied grease while restricting the entry of dust, moisture and other contaminants.
The bearing is supplied grease lubricated and sealed for low maintenance operation. Routine relubrication is not normally required.
It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is specified. Contact seals provide additional protection but introduce more friction than an open bearing.
Applications
The SKF 6201-2RSH can be considered for equipment where its dimensions, sealed construction and operating characteristics meet the machinery requirements.
Compact electric motors
Small industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Conveyor rollers and drive assemblies
Agricultural equipment
General industrial rotating machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6201-2RSH offers several practical advantages.
Double Contact Seals: Help retain grease and protect the rolling elements against contamination.
Low Maintenance: Factory grease lubrication and integrated seals reduce routine lubrication requirements.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Compact Construction: Provides shaft support where a 12mm bore and 32mm outside diameter are required.
Smooth Rotation: Its deep groove raceways support efficient rolling motion under suitable operating conditions.
Normal Internal Clearance: Provides the standard clearance arrangement for machinery where normal clearance is specified.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 12x32x10mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Check operating loads and speeds alongside shaft and housing fits. Temperature, moisture exposure and contamination levels should also be considered when selecting the bearing.
If increased radial internal clearance is required, the SKF 6201-2RSH/C3 may be more suitable. For machinery requiring direct grease or oil lubrication, consider an appropriate open SKF 6201 variant.
