Decoding SKF 6001-2Z/C3GJN
- 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.
- 2Z/C3GJNSuffix
- 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 6001-2Z/C3GJN measures 12 mm across the bore and 28 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 8 mm (12 x 28 x 8 mm).

For maintenance and purchasing teams, the SKF deep groove ball bearing with 2Z shields, C3 clearance, and GJN grease offers a versatile solution for moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. The 2Z metal shields guard against dust and splashes, while the C3 internal clearance accommodates tight fits and thermal changes. The GJN polyurea grease provides a wide thermal range, making these bearings ready to mount in electric motors, pumps, fans, and transmissions.
The part number system helps you identify the right bearing: the basic number (e.g., 6001, 6200, 6202) indicates size and series. Series 60 is thin-section, 62 is medium, and 63 is more robust. Suffixes include 2Z for double steel shields with groove, C3 for greater than normal radial internal clearance, and GJN for polyurea grease. For example, 6001-2Z/C3GJN is a 60-series bearing, size 01, with double shields, C3 clearance, and GJN grease.
These bearings are common in low and medium power electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, machine tools, and refrigeration equipment. They also appear in agricultural machinery and food processing where cleanliness matters. The 2Z shield and GJN grease combination suits dusty environments and moderate temperatures, but not direct contact with pressurized water.
When selecting, consider radial and axial loads, speed, and environmental conditions. C3 clearance is recommended for tight shaft or housing fits, as it offsets interference-induced clearance reduction. Since 2Z is not watertight, a 2RS seal may be better for high humidity or fine particles. GJN grease is factory-applied and typically maintenance-free. During mounting, ensure alignment and avoid impacts that could damage raceways.
Interchangeability with other brands is possible for deep groove ball bearings with similar suffixes, but always verify tolerances and internal clearance. A C3 from one brand may not exactly match another. Basic designations like 6202 are often common, but sealing and lubrication suffixes vary. For replacements, compare critical dimensions and operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6001-2Z/C3GJN bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6001-2Z/C3GJN 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 2Z suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- 2Z indicates double steel shields with groove, which prevent dust and dirt entry without being a hermetic seal. Suitable for dry or coarse-particle environments, but not for direct water or vapor contact.
- When should I use a bearing with C3 clearance?
- C3 clearance is advisable for tight shaft or housing fits, as it compensates for interference-induced clearance reduction. Also for applications with significant thermal gradients.
- Does GJN grease require maintenance?
- No, GJN grease is factory-applied and designed to last the bearing's service life under normal conditions. It does not need relubrication, except in severe applications.
