The 6001 Series Ball Bearing belongs to the versatile 6000 series of deep groove ball bearings. Designed to operate efficiently under radial, thrust, or combination loads, these bearings are engineered for high rotational speeds and high dynamic loads. Their straightforward, non-separable design makes them highly reliable and easy to integrate into a vast array of mechanical assemblies.
Ensure fitment with your equipment by referencing the technical data below.
Item | Specification |
Bearing Series | 6001 |
Dimensions (ID × OD × W) | 12 mm × 28 mm × 8 mm |
Material | Chrome Steel (GCr15) |
Retainer / Cage | Stamped Steel (Punching type) |
Load Direction | Radial (primary) & Moderate Axial |
Sealing Options | Open / ZZ (2Z) / 2RS (RS) |
Understanding sealing options:
Open (6001): Features no shields or seals; ideal for applications running in clean, continuously oil-lubricated environments.
Shielded (6001ZZ / 6001-2Z): Equipped with non-contact metal shields on both sides. This keeps larger particles out while retaining grease, allowing for very high-speed operations with low friction.
Sealed (6001-2RS): Features contact rubber seals on both sides. This provides superior protection against moisture, dust, and fine contaminants, making it ideal for harsh environments.
Manufactured from high-carbon GCr15 chrome steel, the 6001 bearing delivers excellent fatigue life, wear resistance, and low-noise operation. Due to its standard 12x28x8 mm metric sizing, it is a staple component in:
Small electric motors and factory automation equipment.
Power tools and household appliances.
Motorcycle and light automotive sub-assemblies.
Agricultural and textile machinery.
We provide a streamlined procurement process designed for global B2B distributors and manufacturers:
Lead Time: Fast dispatch with 5–10 work days for in-stock items.
Payment Terms:
Orders under $1,000 USD: 100% advance payment.
Orders $1,000 to $5,000 USD: 50% deposit, 50% balance before delivery.
Payment Methods: T/T, Western Union, PayPal. L/C accepted for large volume orders.
Trade Terms Supported: FCA, FOB, CIF, DDP.
Q1: What is the difference between 6001ZZ and 6001-2Z?
A: There is no functional difference. "ZZ" and "2Z" are simply different suffix naming conventions used by various manufacturers to indicate that the bearing has metal shields on both sides.
Q2: Do I need to lubricate the 6001-2RS or 6001ZZ before installation?
A: No. Both the sealed (2RS) and shielded (ZZ) versions come pre-lubricated from the factory with the correct amount of high-quality grease and are sealed for the lifetime of the bearing.
Q3: Is chrome steel (GCr15) suitable for my application?
A: GCr15 chrome steel is the industry standard for high-quality bearings. It offers high hardness and excellent wear resistance, making it perfect for standard industrial, automotive, and motor applications. If you require corrosion resistance for wash-down environments, please inquire about our stainless steel options.
Q4: Can I request specific packaging for my bulk order?
A: Yes. We can arrange bulk industrial tray packaging for assembly lines, or customized individual color boxes if you are a distributor.
