Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG S6201 -HLC

The FAG S6201-HLC deep-groove ball bearing, made of stainless steel and measuring 12x32x10 mm, offers targeted corrosion protection for industrial applications.

The FAG S6201-HLC deep groove ball bearing is a single-row stainless steel rolling bearing designed primarily to accommodate radial forces and moderate axial loads. As the rings and rolling elements are manufactured from stainless steel, this design is resistant to moisture and corrosive influences. With a bore of 12 mm, an outside diameter of 32 mm and a width of 10 mm, the component fits precisely into compact designs. Technical purchasers and maintenance engineers appreciate the standardised design for scheduled maintenance and new installations.

What is the S6201-HLC deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing is primarily used in applications where moisture or corrosive media would attack standard bearing steel. Typical applications include bearing locations with damp or chemically demanding environmental conditions. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements through the raceway with minimal vibration. As the bearing is designed for a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees, it performs reliably both in cooled areas and under operational heating conditions.

What should be borne in mind with the open design and tolerance class P0?

As an open variant, this design has no integrated sealing washers; therefore, external sealing arrangements in the surrounding assembly should prevent the ingress of dirt particles and keep lubricants within the bearing. The standard radial bearing clearance provides a balanced ratio between smooth running and low operating clearance. With tolerance class P0 (equivalent to ABEC 1), the component complies with current standard specifications for cylindrical fits, whilst the outer ring has no flange or groove.
