Skf 3201 A-2RS1TN9 Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Product Description

The SKF 3201 A-2RS1TN9 is a double-row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications that demand combined radial and axial load capacity. Built to the 3201 A series standard, it features a 30-degree contact angle that allows it to handle thrust loads in both directions alongside radial loads. Two rubber seals keep contaminants out and retain lubrication, making it well suited for environments where relubrication access is limited. The glass fiber reinforced polyamide cage keeps the rolling elements evenly spaced under high-speed and high-load conditions. Licensed HVAC, industrial, and mechanical trades commonly install this bearing in motors, pumps, and gearbox assemblies.

This bearing is used in light to medium-duty rotating equipment across residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include electric motor shafts, pump assemblies, conveyors, and small gearboxes where a compact double-row design is needed to manage both radial and bidirectional axial loads in a confined space. Its ABEC-3 precision class makes it appropriate for general industrial machinery requiring consistent tolerances without the cost premium of higher-precision grades.

Key Features

• Double-row design handles combined radial and bidirectional axial loads
• 30-degree contact angle provides strong thrust load capacity
• Two contact rubber seals (2RS1) for contamination resistance and sealed lubrication
• Glass fiber reinforced polyamide (TN9) cage for durability at elevated speeds
• ABEC-3 precision class for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Rated up to 15,000 RPM maximum speed

Compatibility

Designed as a double-row angular contact ball bearing in the 3201 A series, this bearing is an OEM-style fit for applications specifying a 12 mm bore, 32 mm outside diameter, and 15.9 mm width with a double-seal configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical or industrial technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing bearings. Press or driver tools sized to the inner or outer ring should be used - never apply installation force through the rolling elements. Verify shaft and housing tolerances against bearing fit specifications before installation to avoid premature failure.
