Decoding SKF 6001 TN9
- 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.
- TN9Suffix
- 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 TN9 measures 12 mm across the bore and 28 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 8 mm (12 x 28 x 8 mm).

The SKF TN9 series deep groove ball bearing is a precision component built to handle moderate radial and axial loads in many industrial settings. Its polyamide cage and compact design suit equipment where low maintenance and high reliability are important. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this bearing as part of its SKF line.
Reading the part number helps with selection. The numeric prefix gives the size and dimension series, while the TN9 suffix means the bearing has a fiberglass-reinforced polyamide cage for moderate temperatures. For instance, 6001 TN9 is a 60-series bearing, extra light section, with TN9 cage. This makes it easy to identify construction features and compare with other variants.
These bearings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, and agricultural machinery. They run at high speeds and support combined loads, so they fit many rotating equipment applications. Food, chemical, textile, and metallurgical plants often choose them for their reliability and low noise.
When selecting a deep groove ball bearing, consider radial and axial load, rotation speed, and environmental conditions. The right sealing — open, shielded, or sealed — depends on dust, humidity, or contaminants. During mounting, align shaft and housing precisely, avoid blows on the rings, and use suitable tools. Lubrication with grease or oil should follow the manufacturer's recommendation for long service life.
Deep groove ball bearings from different manufacturers can be interchanged if main dimensions, tolerances, and internal clearance match. Still, verify technical specifications because cage, sealing, or load capacity may vary. SKF is a global reference, and its products are often compatible with other brands, but consult a specialist before replacing a bearing.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6001 TN9 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6001 TN9 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 TN9 suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The TN9 suffix indicates a fiberglass-reinforced polyamide cage. This cage is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and suitable for moderate temperatures. It does not change outer dimensions or load capacity but affects high-speed behavior.
- How do I know if a deep groove ball bearing is compatible with my equipment?
- Check the bore diameter, outer diameter, and width. Also consider sealing type, internal clearance, and maximum permissible speed. If unsure, send us the original bearing part number or the shaft and housing dimensions.
- What lubrication do you recommend for deep groove ball bearings?
- Lubrication depends on the application and working conditions. For high speeds, medium consistency grease or oil is common. In humid or contaminated environments, greases with EP additives are preferred. Always follow the equipment and bearing manufacturer's recommendations.
