Deep groove ball bearing SKF W 61901-2RS1/VT378, Outer diameter: 24 mm | Width: 6 mm | Inner diameter: 12 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, ability to operate at high speeds, and low maintenance requirements.

This SKF stainless steel ball bearing is specifically designed to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions. Its robust construction and high corrosion resistance make it a reliable choice for applications requiring durability and protection against contaminants.

Features:
This single-row, rigid ball bearing made of stainless steel is designed to withstand moderate radial loads and light axial loads. Nitrile rubber (NBR) lip seals on both sides effectively block the entry of contaminants such as dust and water. Lubricated with a food-grade, aluminum-thickened grease with an NLGI Class 2 consistency, this bearing is suitable for temperatures ranging from -25 to +120 °C. Its standard internal radial clearance (CN) ensures an optimal balance between load capacity, friction, and rotational speed, thereby guaranteeing reliable performance.

Maintenance:
This deep-groove ball bearing is designed to require minimal maintenance, thanks to its rubber seals that retain the lubricant inside and protect against the ingress of particles. However, it is advisable to regularly monitor operating conditions, such as temperature and vibration, to detect any abnormalities. Periodic inspections of temperature and operating noise are also recommended to extend the product’s service life.

Sealing:
This bearing is equipped with nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) lip seals, which provide excellent sealing. This design prevents the entry of dust and moisture while keeping the lubricant inside. Although this sealing helps extend the bearing’s service life, it is important to note that these seals can introduce slight resistance, increasing torque under certain conditions. However, their effectiveness in protecting against contaminants makes them a major asset for use in humid or dusty environments.

Key Features:
Thanks to its robust stainless steel construction, this bearing offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments. Its NBR rubber seals ensure reliable protection against moisture and particles, while its long-lasting lubrication is compatible with food-grade applications. This product also stands out for its low noise level and reduced vibrations, ensuring quiet operation. Optimized for moderate radial and axial loads, it combines durability with performance.

Applications:
This single-row deep groove ball bearing is ideally suited for industrial environments requiring high corrosion resistance, such as the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and marine sectors. It excels in conveyors, material handling systems, and packaging equipment exposed to moisture, dust, or mild chemicals. Ideal for moderate-speed applications with radial loads, it ensures long-lasting reliability and effective protection against contaminants.
