Decoding SKF 6201-2RSHNR/C3GJN
- 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.
- 2RSHNR/C3GJNSuffix
- 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
SKF 6201-2RSHNR/C3GJN measures 12 mm across the bore and 32 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 10 mm (12 x 32 x 10 mm).

This SKF deep groove ball bearing, from the 62 series with suffixes 2RSHNR and C3GJN, handles radial and axial loads in both directions. Its sealed design and integrated retaining ring make it a practical choice for equipment that needs axial location and protection from contaminants.
The part number breaks down into useful information. The base number, such as 6201 or 6204, sets the size and series; series 62 is a medium-section range that appears in many industrial drives. The 2RSH suffix means the bearing has double nitrile contact seals, which keep grease in and keep dust and moisture out. NR shows that a snap ring is included for axial location in the housing. C3 indicates radial internal clearance above standard, and GJN identifies the factory-fill grease. Reading these codes helps you confirm the bearing matches your application before you order.
You will find these bearings in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors and agricultural machinery. Their ability to take combined loads and their effective sealing suit dusty settings such as food plants, cement operations and metalworking shops. In power transmission equipment, the NR ring simplifies housing design by providing axial location without extra components.
Selection depends on the radial and axial loads the bearing will see, plus the rotation speed. Choose C3 clearance when you expect temperature differences between the inner and outer rings, or when the fit is an interference fit. The 2RSH seal works well in contaminated environments; if lower friction is a priority, other variants may be better. During mounting, keep the shaft and housing aligned and do not strike the seals. The GJN grease is long-life, but severe conditions may call for relubrication. Make sure the NR ring seats properly in the housing groove.
Bearings with seals and a retaining ring from other brands can be interchanged if dimensions and clearance match. However, suffix naming is not universal: 2RSH may appear as 2RS elsewhere, and the NR ring can carry different letters. Always check the technical data before substituting. MR Industrial Accessories can advise on interchangeability and source the bearing you need.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6201-2RSHNR/C3GJN bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6201-2RSHNR/C3GJN 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 this bearing?
- 2RSH indicates double nitrile contact seals. They block contaminants and retain the lubricating grease, which helps in dirty or humid environments.
- What is the NR retaining ring for?
- The NR ring is a snap ring that fits into a groove in the outer ring, allowing the bearing to be axially located in the housing. It prevents unwanted displacement and simplifies housing design.
- When should a bearing with C3 clearance be used?
- C3 clearance is recommended when there are thermal gradients between rings, interference fits or high speeds. The greater clearance compensates for expansion and reduces the risk of seizure.
