Decoding SKF W 6001-2RS1/W64F
- W 60Series
- Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, W 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.
- 2RS1/W64FSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
W 6001 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF W 6001-2RS1/W64F 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 W series deep groove ball bearings use stainless steel for the rings and rolling elements, so they handle radial and axial loads in both directions in places where moisture, cleaning agents or chemicals would shorten the life of a standard chrome steel bearing. Typical installations include process equipment, food machinery and pumping systems.
The part number tells you what you are getting. The W prefix means stainless steel rings and rolling elements. The digits that follow, such as 6001, 6004, 6305, 6306 or 61902, give the size code within the series. The -2RS1 suffix shows rubber seals on both sides, which hold grease in and keep contaminants out. The /W64F designation marks a variant with solid lubricant or special grease. So W 6305-2RS1/W64F is a stainless bearing, sealed on both sides, with special lubrication.
These bearings fit industries where corrosion drives maintenance. Food and beverage plants wash equipment often, so bearings see water and cleaning products. Chemical plants use them in pumps and agitators, and coastal or marine sites rely on them as well. Pharmaceutical operations choose them for sterilization and humid rooms. You also find them in packaging lines, conveyors and fish processing equipment, where moisture is always present.
Selection comes down to the radial and axial load, plus the rotation speed. The 2RS1 seal works well where dust or moisture is present; if speed is the priority, a shielded variant may be the better choice. Lubrication matters: the /W64F designation points to a grease or solid lubricant that must suit stainless steel and the operating conditions. During assembly, align shaft and housing precisely, avoid impacts that damage seals or raceways, and work in a clean area with the right tools.
For equivalents, SKF stainless bearings interchange with other brands that follow the same dimensions and suffix designation. Load and speed capacities can differ, so check the alternative manufacturer's technical data. MR supplies the SKF brand and can help you choose the right option for your application.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF W 6001-2RS1/W64F bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF W 6001-2RS1/W64F 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 W 6001.
- What does the W64F suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- It identifies a variant with special lubricant, usually a water- and corrosion-resistant grease or a solid lubricant, intended for bearings exposed to moisture or frequent washing.
- Can an SKF stainless bearing replace a chrome steel one?
- Yes, if dimensions and sealing type match. Stainless steel resists corrosion better, though load capacity may be slightly lower. Verify the specifications for your application.
- How should I mount a stainless deep groove ball bearing?
- Align shaft and housing precisely, clean the surfaces, and use suitable tools so you do not damage the seals. Avoid direct blows on balls or rings and follow the manufacturer's fitting recommendations.
