SS6201-2RS Stainless Steel Ball Bearing 12x32x10

This S6201-2RS sizes 12x32x10-millimeter sealed single-row ball bearing supports typical radial loads. The S6201RS bearing is made of stainless steel for resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, and it has rubber seals (RS) on both sides of the bearing to keep lubricant in and contaminants out. This SS6201.2RSR sealed single-row ball bearing is suitable for use in applications that involve combined radial and axial loads and a need for high running accuracy at high rotational speeds. Such applications include clutches, drives, gearboxes, compressors, pumps, turbines, and printing and textile machines, among others.

Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
