Overview
The SKF 6001-2RSH is a single-row deep groove ball bearing engineered for versatile industrial machinery applications. As part of SKF’s 60 Series, this bearing delivers proven reliability in rotating equipment, fan systems, electric motors, and general mechanical assemblies. The 6001-2RSH features a 12 mm bore and 28 mm outer diameter with double rubber seals, making it an ideal replacement or upgrade for OEM and maintenance applications.
Key Features
- Double-Sealed Design (2RSH): Rubber seals on both sides reduce contamination and minimize lubrication leakage, extending service life in dusty or wet environments.
- High-Speed Capable: Rated for up to 17,000 rpm, suitable for electric motors and centrifugal equipment.
- Radial & Axial Load Support: Accommodates loads in both radial and axial directions, providing design flexibility.
- Low Maintenance: Sealed bearing design requires minimal attention once installed, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Steel Construction with NBR Seals: Durable steel bearing with nitrile rubber seals rated to 120°C maximum continuous operation.
