Decoding SKF 6001-2RSL/GFJ
- 60Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 60 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 01Bore
- Bore 12 mm: by standard, 01 designates 12 mm.
- 2RSL/GFJSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6001 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6001-2RSL/GFJ measures 12 mm across the bore and 28 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 8 mm (12 x 28 x 8 mm).

SKF's RSL/GFJ series covers single-row deep groove ball bearings built to handle moderate radial and axial loads in either direction. The RSL seal runs on both sides to keep the GFJ grease in and contaminants out, which suits equipment where lubrication retention matters. You'll find these bearings in electric motors, pumps, fans and light-duty transmissions, in metric sizes. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you match the right part number to your application.
Reading the code is straightforward once you know the suffixes. Take 6001-2RSL/GFJ: the 6001 base number sets the boundary dimensions under the deep groove ball bearing standard, RSL tells you the bearing is sealed on both sides with a low-friction design, and GFJ identifies the factory grease fill. So the full designation combines size, sealing and lubrication in one string.
Typical applications include low and medium power electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, light conveyor belts, machine tools, packaging equipment, agitators and belt drive systems. The sealed construction works well where dust or moderate humidity is present, as long as you stay within the temperature and speed limits set for the GFJ grease. It's a practical pick when you want a compact bearing that needs little maintenance.
Selection starts with shaft diameter, housing dimensions and the loads the equipment applies. Keep in mind that the RSL seal is a low-friction design, not a barrier for immersion or direct washdown. Shaft and support alignment matters too: too much misalignment will shorten bearing life. When mounting, avoid striking the seals and apply force to the correct ring. No extra lubricant is needed because the GFJ grease comes factory-dosed; if the equipment runs hot, check that the grease is compatible.
Interchange is possible across manufacturers, but suffixes differ by brand, and the same size may come with different sealing, internal clearance or lubricant. When sourcing a replacement, don't stop at the base number: compare seal type, grease and tolerance as well. At MR Industrial Accessories we can walk you through interchangeability, starting from the complete part number and the operating conditions. We'll ask for the details we need to give you solid advice.
Have your bearing part number ready? Send it by WhatsApp to MR Industrial Accessories and we'll quote it. If you don't have it, just give us the shaft and housing dimensions and the type of equipment it's mounted on. With that, we can identify the RSL/GFJ series you need and help you choose the right component.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6001-2RSL/GFJ bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6001-2RSL/GFJ measures 12 mm across the bore and 28 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 8 mm (12 x 28 x 8 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6001.
- What does the RSL suffix mean on this SKF bearing?
- RSL means the bearing is sealed on both sides with a low-friction design. The seal holds grease in and keeps contaminants out, but it isn't made for immersion. It's a common choice for dusty or moderately humid environments.
- Can I replace a 6001-2RSL/GFJ bearing with one of a different brand?
- Yes, if the main dimensions and the sealing and lubrication conditions match. Suffixes vary between manufacturers, so the base number alone isn't enough. Send the full part number and working conditions and we'll point you to a compatible alternative.
- How do I request a quote for this bearing at MR?
- Message us on WhatsApp with the full part number, for example 6001-2RSL/GFJ, or with the shaft and housing dimensions. We'll reply with the quote and, if needed, help you choose the right variant. We handle technical inquiries.
