Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6201 -ZTN9

The SKF 6201-ZTN9 deep groove ball bearing combines compact dimensions of 12 × 32 × 10 mm with high running accuracy and a lightweight polyamide cage.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6201-ZTN9 belongs to SKF’s Explorer performance class and is primarily designed to support radial loads. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, this design offers dimensional accuracy to P6 and increased running accuracy to P5. With its standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for precisely guided shafts where smooth guidance and uniform running characteristics are required.

For which applications is the 6201-ZTN9 deep groove ball bearing with P6/P5 tolerance suitable?

The component is designed for applications that require precise shaft guidance and smooth concentricity. Thanks to the outer ring without a groove, the design fits easily into cylindrical housing bores. The combination of rolling elements made from bearing steel and tight manufacturing tolerances ensures low-vibration operation. In addition to primarily radial forces, the design also accommodates moderate axial loads in both directions.

What are the benefits of a polyamide cage and a single-sided Z-type end plate?

The polyamide cage reduces the weight of the roller bearing and helps to minimise friction. The component is designed for a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees. The single-sided sheet metal cover shields the interior of the bearing from the ingress of coarse contaminants. The opposite, open side remains accessible, allowing lubricants from the housing cavity to circulate freely within the rolling zone.
