Decoding SKF 6201-2RSH/C3LHT23
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 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.
- 2RSH/C3LHT23Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6201 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description

This SKF deep groove ball bearing comes with 2RSH seals, C3 clearance and LHT lubrication. It handles radial and axial loads in both directions. The sealed design and high-temperature grease suit equipment where dependable operation and infrequent maintenance matter.
The part number breaks down into four parts. The base number, such as 6201 or 6204, sets the size and series. The 2RSH suffix means rubber contact seals are fitted on both sides, which block contaminants and keep grease in place. C3 indicates radial internal clearance above standard, useful for interference fits or temperature differences. LHT identifies a grease formulated for elevated temperatures.
These bearings appear in electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors and process machinery across food, chemical, textile and metallurgical plants. Their ability to take combined loads and their sealing make them a fit for dusty, humid or hot environments. Maintenance teams specify them for critical equipment where reliability and reduced downtime are priorities.
When choosing a deep groove ball bearing, check radial and axial load, speed and operating conditions. A 2RSH seal protects against particles and liquids, though it can raise friction torque slightly. C3 clearance is the right call when mounting with an interference fit on the shaft or in the housing, because it offsets the loss of internal clearance. LHT grease is intended for high temperatures, so confirm it matches the equipment's thermal range. During installation, align the shaft and housing properly and apply mounting force to the correct ring to prevent damage.
For replacements, SKF bearings in this series can be swapped with products from other makers that share the same dimensions and design. Match the seal, clearance and lubrication suffixes to the application. Main dimensions are usually standard, but internal details can differ between brands, so check each supplier's technical data. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF and can advise on the best option for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6201-2RSH/C3LHT23 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6201-2RSH/C3LHT23 measures 12 mm across the bore and 32 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 10 mm (12 x 32 x 10 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6201.
- What does the 2RSH suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- 2RSH indicates rubber contact seals on both sides. They block contaminants and retain lubricant, which helps extend service life in harsh environments.
- When is C3 radial clearance recommended?
- C3 clearance is recommended for interference fits on the shaft or housing, or for high-temperature operation. The extra clearance compensates for reduction in internal clearance from thermal expansion or mounting stresses.
- What type of lubricant is LHT and for what temperatures?
- LHT is a high-temperature grease designed for demanding thermal conditions. It is typically used where operating temperatures exceed 100 °C, but verify exact specifications with the manufacturer.
