Description
Overview:
The 6201 C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing is a genuine NTN part for rotating assemblies in construction and garden machinery. Made from hardened bearing steel with precision-ground raceways, this single-row, open-face bearing is designed to reduce friction and support loads on shafts and pulleys. It suits applications needing smooth, reliable rotation with regular external lubrication. Dimensions are 12mm inner diameter, 32mm outer diameter, and 10mm width, making it a common replacement size for electric motors, pumps, generators and compact machinery. The C3 internal clearance provides extra room for thermal expansion at speed, helping maintain low running temperatures and consistent performance. Open design allows easy visual inspection and straightforward relubrication. Genuine NTN manufacture offers consistent tolerances and dependable service life in correctly maintained equipment.
Key Features:
- Genuine NTN bearing for dependable fit and performance in standard 6201 housings and shafts
- C3 internal clearance for higher-speed running and tolerance to temperature rise
- Open-face design for easy relubrication and inspection, with reduced drag compared to sealed types
- Deep groove geometry supports primarily radial loads with capability for moderate axial (thrust) loads
- Standard metric size: 12mm ID shaft fit, 32mm OD housing fit, 10mm width
- Hardened bearing steel and precision-ground raceways for smooth, low-friction operation
- Suited to externally lubricated environments in motors, pumps and power transmission assemblies
- Simple to fit and replace during scheduled maintenance
Typical Applications:
Common in electric motors, pumps, generators, small gearboxes, belt idlers, mower decks, compactors, pressure washers and conveyor rollers. Used wherever a 12mm shaft bearing is needed to carry radial loads with some axial support, with access for periodic lubrication.
