SKF 6001-2Z 1 Row Ball Bearing - 12 mm ID, 28 mm OD

This deep-groove ball bearing from SKF is designed for use with equipment where the inner bearing ring rotates, such as roller brushes. It can handle very high speeds as well as axial loads. The component features two metal dust shields that stop dirt and debris from entering the bearing. As this unit's load increases, the contact points between its rolling elements and raceways decrease. This reduces friction and allows the bearing to operate well even at extremely fast speeds.

• Parallel bore type

• Food and beverage production

The main difference between ball bearings and roller bearings is the amount of friction they produce. While the elements of a ball bearing are designed to reduce friction, roller bearings provide increased friction with heavier loads. This means that while they are slower they have a higher load-carrying capacity than a ball bearing of the same size.
