FAQ

What is the difference between a 2Z/ZZ and a 2RS seal on a 6201 bearing?

A 2Z or ZZ designation indicates two non-contact metal shields. These are good for high-speed applications and protect against larger contaminants. A 2RS seal, on the other hand, indicates two contact rubber seals which provide better protection against fine dust and moisture but may have slightly higher friction and lower speed limits.

Stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, making this bearing suitable for use in humid, wet, or chemically aggressive environments, such as in the food and beverage, medical, or marine industries, where standard chrome steel would rust.

Yes, in most cases. The dimensions (12x32x10mm) are identical. The stainless steel version offers superior corrosion resistance. However, be aware that stainless steel bearings may have slightly different load and speed ratings compared to their high-carbon chrome steel counterparts. Always check your application's specific requirements.
