NSK 6201C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Description

The NSK 6201C3 is a high-precision, single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance. Its C3 internal clearance makes it suitable for applications with high rotational speeds or significant temperature variations where thermal expansion of the shaft and housing must be accommodated. This open-type bearing is versatile and commonly used in electric motors, pumps, and general machinery.

FAQ

What does the 'C3' suffix in 6201C3 signify?
The 'C3' indicates that the bearing has a radial internal clearance that is greater than the 'Normal' (CN) clearance. This extra space accommodates thermal expansion of the shaft and housing, preventing the bearing from seizing in high-speed or high-temperature applications.

Is this bearing pre-lubricated and sealed?
This is an 'open' type bearing, meaning it has no seals or shields (unlike a 6201-ZZ or 6201-2RS). It is typically coated in a light preservative oil for shipping and storage, but it requires lubrication with grease or oil upon installation, depending on the application's requirements.

What are the main applications for a 6201C3 bearing?
Its robust design and C3 clearance make it highly suitable for electric motors, fans, pumps, gearboxes, conveyor systems, and various power transmission applications where reliability and performance at speed are critical.
