Key Performance Features

01. Effective Single-Shield Contamination Protection

Single Z-type non-contact steel shield on one side provides a reliable barrier against dust, dirt, and airborne particulates while maintaining low frictional torque. This partial shielding configuration offers an effective balance between protection and accessibility—allowing for inspection and relubrication in applications where maintenance access is beneficial. The open side facilitates lubricant replenishment in moderately dirty environments.

02. Robust Design with Reliable Load Capacity

Conforming to the popular 62-series light section, the 12×32×10 mm configuration delivers a dynamic load rating of 6.10–7.28 kN. This robust construction ensures reliable performance in applications where moderate radial and limited axial forces are present. The deep groove raceway design enables smooth handling of combined loads even at high speeds.

03. Optimized for High-Speed and Low Noise

Precision-manufactured components and a rigid pressed steel cage ensure consistent, quiet operation with minimal vibration. This makes the 6201-Z suitable for high-speed applications up to 22,000 RPM with grease lubrication, supporting stable performance in sensitive devices like electric motors, automotive alternators, and precision spindles.
