TIMKEN 6001 2RS C3 12x28x8 mm Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Applications

The TIMKEN 6001 2RS C3 bearing is a precision-engineered deep groove ball bearing ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, from electric motors and gearboxes to conveyor drives and other rotating equipment. With compact dimensions of 12 mm bore, 28 mm outer diameter and 8 mm width, this bearing fits seamlessly into bearing housings or as a standalone bearing unit in systems where space is at a premium. The “2RS” designation denotes rubber seals on both sides, providing excellent protection against dust, moisture and contaminants, thereby enhancing the high durability of the unit. The “C3” internal clearance allows the bearing to operate reliably under higher speeds and moderate axial loads—an essential feature in many industrial setups.

Key Benefits & Features

• High durability and reliability: Produced by TIMKEN, renowned for industrial-grade bearing solutions, this unit delivers extended life, low maintenance and consistent performance.

• Sealed design (2RS): Rubber seals on both sides ensure that lubricant remains inside while contaminants are kept out—ideal for environments with dust or splash.

• Increased internal clearance (C3): The extra clearance compensates for thermal expansion and allows higher operating speeds, making it more robust for industrial applications.

• Standardized dimensions (12x28x8 mm): Compatible with a wide array of machine configurations, enabling quick replacement in an obudowa łożyskowa or as part of a modular bearing unit.

• Single-row deep groove construction: Supports radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, offering versatile performance in various mechanical systems.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does “2RS C3” mean in the bearing designation?
A1: “2RS” indicates that the bearing has rubber seals on both sides—providing protection from dust and moisture. “C3” means the bearing has greater than standard internal clearance, allowing for better performance under higher speeds or temperature variations.

Q2: Are the dimensions 12x28x8 mm accurate and interchangeable?
A2: Yes—the 6001 size designates a bore of 12 mm, outer diameter of 28 mm and width of 8 mm. Ensure the rest of your system (housing, shaft, mounts) is compatible with these dimensions.

Q3: In which industrial applications is this bearing best suited?
A3: Typical uses include electric motors, gearboxes, conveyor rollers, bearing housings and bearing units where compact size, durability and sealed protection are required.

Q4: Does the sealed design reduce maintenance needs?
A4: Yes—the 2RS sealed design, combined with factory lubrication, decreases maintenance frequency and supports longer service intervals, especially important in continuous operation environments.
