Deep Groove Ball Bearing 6001 2RS 1/2″ XLT (12,7 x 28 x 8 mm)

Applications

The 6001 2RS 1/2″ XLT bearing is engineered for a wide spectrum of industrial applications, where a high-durability deep groove ball bearing is required. Its compact bore size of 12.7 mm (½″) paired with an outer diameter of 28 mm and a width of 8 mm positions it ideally for machines with limited mounting space—such as production lines, actuators, motor shafts, obudowa łożyskowa (bearing housings) and other mechanised units. The dual rubber seals (2RS) protect the bearing from dust and moisture, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing and processing environments.
In contexts where a reliable jednostka łożyskowa (bearing unit) is required—whether in conveyors, gearboxes, electric motors, or general machinery—the combination of deep-groove design and robust sealing ensures stable performance and extended lifetime. The “XLT” designation further underlines the suitability of this unit for high-efficiency, high-speed or moderate load tasks.

Benefits & Key Features

• Excellent load capacity: This łożysko kulkowe (ball bearing) supports both radial and limited axial loads via its single-row deep groove design.

• High durability and low maintenance: Pre-greased and sealed on both sides, the bearing minimises contamination ingress and supports extended service life in industrial conditions.

• Sealed protection (2RS): The double-rubber seal (2RS) enhances resistance to dust, moisture and external pollutants, fitting clean-to-moderately challenging environments.

• Compact size for tight installations: The dimension set (12.7 x 28 x 8 mm) enables straightforward integration into obudowa łożyskowa (bearing housings) or direct shaft mounting in restricted spaces.

• Smooth and efficient operation: The minimised friction of the deep groove design reduces heat and energy losses, making it suitable for high-speed applications and supporting operational efficiency.

FAQ

Q1: What does “2RS” mean in the bearing designation?
A1: The “2RS” suffix indicates rubber sealing on both sides of the bearing. This means effective protection against dust and moisture for the internal rolling elements - a key feature for industrial applications.

Q2: Is this bearing suitable for high-speed use?
A2: Yes. Thanks to its deep groove construction and sealed design, the bearing supports high rotational speeds. For example, similar 12x28x8 sealed bearings have limiting speeds around 17 000 min-¹.

Q3: Can this bearing be used in retrofits where older units had 12x28x8 mm size?
A3: Yes—its dimension set (12.7x28x8 mm) corresponds to the ½″ bore equivalent. However, you should verify shaft and housing tolerances and clearances, especially if previous bearing had 12 mm bore. Some adaptions may be required for a precise fit.

Q4: What are typical applications for this bearing in the industrial sector?
A4: Common uses include: electric motors, conveyors, gearboxes, light machine tools, bearing units in automations or material-handling modules, where a compact sealed ball bearing is necessary.

Q5: What makes the “XLT” variant special?
A5: While “XLT” is a brand or series designation, it typically indicates a variant with enhanced features (such as the ½″ bore version, premium seals or extended life design). It is optimized for industrial durability and integration into bearing housings or units.
