The NSK 6001 2RS is a single-row deep groove ball bearing equipped with rubber seals on both sides, widely used across many industries. Its nominal dimensions of 12 mm bore x 28 mm outer x 8 mm width make it a common choice for motors, pumps, electric tools, gearboxes, conveyors, and industrial machinery where a compact, sealed, dependable bearing is needed.
Because it is sealed, the 2RS design helps prevent ingress of dust and moisture, making it suitable for environments where contamination might reduce bearing life.
Sealed design (2RS) — protects internal components from contaminants and retains lubricant.
Deep groove construction — provides low friction, smooth rotation, and good radial load capacity; also tolerates modest axial loads.
Compact 12x28x8 mm dimensions — fits standard bearing housings and shafts without requiring oversized space.
Reliable performance — NSK’s quality and precision ensure stable operation, long service life, and low failure rate.
Low maintenance — with factory-installed seals and grease, maintenance is minimized; no frequent re-lubrication needed in many applications.
Wide industrial applicability — suitable for motors, small machinery, robotics, automation, fans, and similar uses.

From industry listings, 6001-2RS NSK is classified as a deep groove bearing with typical operating dimensions 12x28x8 mm.
Handle the bearing with care — avoid damaging the seals during handling or mounting.
Install in a clean environment and use proper pressing tools or sleeves to avoid distortion or damage.
Avoid removing or tampering with the seals — the bearing should remain sealed.
Ensure proper tolerances for shaft and housing fits to avoid undue stress or misalignment.
Monitor operating temperature and vibration periodically — abnormal increases may indicate misalignment, contamination, or lubrication issues.
Do not exceed recommended speed limits and loads specified by NSK for this bearing type.
Q1: Is this a radial bearing or angular contact?
This is a deep groove ball bearing, primarily designed for radial loads, with limited axial load capability — not an angular contact bearing in a strict sense.
Q2: What does “2RS” mean?
“2RS” indicates rubber seals on both sides of the bearing, providing protection against contaminants and preserving internal grease.
Q3: What are the exact dimensions?
The bearing measures 12 x 28 x 8 mm (bore x outer diameter x width).
Q4: Can I use it in dusty or wet conditions?
Yes — the 2RS sealed version offers protection against dust and moisture, making it more suitable for such environments than open bearings.
Q5: Do you provide fast delivery?
Yes — stock is held in Lublin.
