Frequently asked questions about 6201
What does the open design mean on a 6201 bearing?
The 6201 (12mm x 32mm x 10mm) is supplied open — without seals or shields — so lubrication and relubrication come from the surrounding housing or an external system. Compare seal types before deciding on the replacement.
Which part numbers are equivalent to 6201?
Equivalent designations include 201 . These are brand-specific numbers for the same ISO boundary dimensions as the 6201 (12mm x 32mm x 10mm). The basic number matching does not confirm the complete specification — compare seal type, clearance, precision, cage, and lubrication suffix before ordering.
Does the 6201 come with C3 clearance?
This directory lists the 6201 with CN (Standard). C3 (increased internal clearance) versions are common for higher operating temperatures, higher speeds, or press-fit arrangements — specify the required clearance on your RFQ so the quotation matches the application. Read the clearance guide.
The 6201 is listed as a 12×32×10mm deep groove ball bearing in open configuration. Part of the 6200 series, the directory records chrome steel gcr15 and P0 (ABEC-1) precision grade for RFQ verification.
The 6201 uses the same part number designation across SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, and Timken catalogs. This is a standardized deep groove ball bearing with industry-standard boundary dimensions. Confirm the housing style, shaft diameter, and seal type before ordering a replacement.
