Product Overview: The 6001 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 6001 bearing is a versatile and widely used single-row deep groove ball bearing, featuring dimensions of 12x28x8mm. As a fundamental component in our 6000 Series, this bearing is engineered to support both radial and axial loads in both directions, making it suitable for a vast array of applications. Its simple yet effective design ensures reliability and high performance, even at high rotational speeds. As part of the broader Deep Groove Ball Bearings category, the 6001 is one of the most popular bearing types due to its cost-effectiveness and versatility.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure our 6001 bearings are manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to industry-standard specifications. This guarantees consistent performance, low friction, and a long service life. This bearing is available in open, shielded (ZZ), and sealed (2RS) configurations to suit various operating environments, providing protection against contaminants and retaining lubrication where needed.
Key Features of the 6001 Bearing
- Versatile Design: Capable of handling both radial and axial loads, making it suitable for a wide range of machinery.
- High-Speed Capability: The deep groove geometry allows for smooth operation at high rotational speeds with minimal noise and vibration.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade chromium steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear and deformation under load.
- Low Friction: Precision engineering minimizes rotational friction, which reduces heat generation and improves energy efficiency.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to ISO standards, ensuring it is interchangeable with other 6001 bearings from different manufacturers.
- Multiple Configurations: Available as an open bearing for oil/grease lubrication, with metal shields (ZZ) for protection against larger particles, or with rubber seals (2RS) for superior protection against contaminants and moisture.
