Skf 6201-2Z Deep Groove Ball Bearing 32mm Double Shield

Product Description

The SKF 6201-2Z is a double-shielded, single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-speed rotational applications across industrial and mechanical equipment. With a 12mm bore, 32mm outside diameter, and 10mm overall width, this bearing fits a wide range of standard shaft and housing configurations. The double-shield design retains grease lubrication and blocks contamination without the frictional drag of a sealed unit. Rated to 50,000 RPM, it suits motors, pumps, fans, and similar rotating machinery where speed and precision matter. Installation is handled by mechanics, millwrights, and equipment technicians working to OEM specifications.

This bearing is suited for light to moderate radial load applications in both residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical installations include electric motors, small pumps, compressors, conveyor components, and fan assemblies. The ABEC-1 tolerance rating positions it as a standard-precision replacement suitable for general-duty rotating equipment. The grease-lubricated steel cage construction performs reliably across a broad range of operating environments without requiring supplemental lubrication at installation.

Key Features

• Double-shield construction retains factory grease and resists contamination ingress
• 50,000 RPM maximum speed rating suits high-speed motor and fan applications
• 12mm round bore fits standard metric shaft dimensions
• 32mm outside diameter and 10mm width conform to ISO 6201 series dimensions
• Steel cage construction provides durability under continuous rotation
• Single-row design handles radial loads in space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement bearing for equipment using the 6201 series metric deep groove ball bearing standard with a 12mm bore and 32mm outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out all energy sources before removing or installing bearings. Press or drive the bearing using a proper bearing installation tool against the appropriate ring - never strike the bearing directly with a hammer or drift punch, as this damages the raceways. Ensure the shaft and housing bore are clean, within tolerance, and free of burrs before fitting. Consult the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for interference fit and preload specifications.
