Overview
The FAG 6001-2RSR is an industry-standard single-row deep groove ball bearing manufactured by Schaeffler Technologies (formerly FAG). With main dimensions of 12mm bore, 28mm outer diameter, and 8mm width, this bearing is designed for radial and axial load support in compact mechanical assemblies. The 2RSR designation indicates lip seals made from nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) on both sides, making it suitable for moderate speeds. The bearing ships new in box, factory-sealed and pre-lubricated.
Key Features
- Inner and outer rings and balls made of low-alloy, through-hardened chromium steel for durability and heat tolerance
- Rubber seal on either side that keeps out contaminants such as dirt and grime
- Seals hold in a high-quality lubricant applied during manufacturing that lasts the lifetime of the bearing
- Sheet steel cage prevents balls from contact during use, reducing friction, vibration, and noise
- Maximum operating temperature of 120°C (248°F)
- Suitable for applications such as transmissions, motors, pumps, bicycles, and inline skates

Typical Applications
Single row deep groove ball bearings are the most frequently used type of rolling bearing, produced in numerous sizes and designs and are particularly economical. Common uses include:
- Electric motor shafts
- Pump assemblies
- Conveyor systems
- Textile machinery
- Industrial gearboxes
- Automotive transmissions and wheels
- General-purpose shaft support in limited-space applications
