SS 16001 2RS ZEN (12x28x7 mm)

Industrial Applications & Use-Cases

The SS 16001 2RS ZEN bearing is a premium stainless‐steel deep‐groove ball bearing engineered for rigorous industrial use where corrosion resistance and compact form factor matter. With dimensions of 12 mm bore x 28 mm outer diameter x 7 mm width, this component excels in environments such as food & beverage processing, marine applications, chemical handling equipment, medical devices, and other systems requiring robust performance in damp or aggressive conditions. The “SS” prefix indicates stainless steel construction; the “2RS” suffix confirms sealing on both sides for optimal protection; and the “ZEN” brand designates a high-quality series optimized for longevity and low‐maintenance operation. It integrates seamlessly within bearing housings or as part of bearing units, supporting engineers and procurement professionals with a reliable solution for compact industrial drives and assemblies.

Key Features & Advantages

• Stainless steel construction (SS series) - delivers superior corrosion resistance, making the bearing ideal for wet, humid or chemically aggressive surroundings.

• Sealed both sides (2RS) - dual rubber seals safeguard internal components from dust, contaminants and grease leakage, extending service life and reducing maintenance cycles.

• Deep-groove ball design - permits efficient handling of radial loads and moderate axial forces in both directions, supporting smooth motion and low vibration in compact assemblies.

• Compact dimensions (12 x 28 x 7 mm) - enables installation in limited space environments without sacrificing performance, making the bearing suited for embedded units and precision equipment.

• High durability & industrial readiness - intended as a maintenance-friendly, high-end unit for demanding industrial applications, offering minimal downtime and consistent uptime.

• Ready for immediate integration - pre-lubricated and sealed, the bearing is prepared for rapid deployment as part of a bearing unit or within an obudowa łożyskowa (bearing housing).

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the “SS” prefix mean in the bearing code?
“SS” stands for stainless-steel construction, indicating that both the rings and rolling elements are made from stainless steel rather than standard chrome steel, offering enhanced resistance to corrosion.

2. Why is the bearing sealed with “2RS”?
The “2RS” suffix means the bearing has rubber seals on both sides. This dual-side sealing protects the internal assembly from contaminant ingress and retains lubrication, which enhances life-time and performance in demanding environments.

3. Can this bearing be used in a bearing housing or as part of a unit?
Yes. The SS 16001 2RS ZEN is well suited for use as an independent component or integrated into a bearing unit or obudowa łożyskowa, making it adaptable for OEM builds and retrofit maintenance.

4. What type of loads does this deep-groove bearing support?
This type of bearing is optimized for radial loads and can also handle moderate axial loads in both directions due to its deep-groove geometry—ideal for compact industrial drives and assemblies.
