SKF 6201-2RSH/C3 Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6201-2RSH/C3 is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and effective shaft support in compact industrial machinery. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while combining protective rubber contact seals with increased C3 internal clearance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6201-2RSH/C3 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 C3 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.
Its C3 radial internal clearance is greater than normal clearance. This helps compensate for reductions in operating clearance caused by interference fits and temperature differences between the bearing rings. Contact seals offer additional protection but introduce more friction than an open bearing.
Applications
The SKF 6201-2RSH/C3 can be considered for equipment where its dimensions, sealing arrangement and increased clearance meet the operating 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/C3 offers several practical advantages.
Double Contact Seals: Help retain grease and protect the rolling elements against contamination.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by interference fits and temperature differences.
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 effective shaft support where a 12mm bore and 32mm outside diameter are required.
Smooth Rotation: Deep groove raceways support efficient rolling motion under suitable operating conditions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 12x32x10mm dimensions and C3 radial internal clearance match your equipment specifications.
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 normal radial internal clearance is required, the SKF 6201-2RSH may be more suitable. For machinery requiring direct grease or oil lubrication, consider an appropriate open SKF 6201 variant.
