SKF 6301 1 Row Ball Bearing - 12 mm ID, 37 mm OD

Easy to mount, quiet during operation and needing little maintenance, this single-row deep-groove ball bearing from SKF gets the job done with the minimum of fuss. You can use it to rotate a degree of axial load along with heavy radial loads of up to 10.1 kN. The parallel bore means you can easily fit it onto a shaft with no need for a bearing housing. As the unit's optimised for low vibration, it can operate at lower speeds to minimise wear and ensure a long service life.

• Steel construction combines strength with resistance to corrosion

Single-row ball bearings like this one are best suited to rotating relatively light to moderate loads at high speed. They're engineered with precision races to support smooth running.

Open-ended bearings are suitable for use in environments where you don't need to worry about dust or dirt contaminating the workings. For dirty environments, shielded or sealed bearings are more suitable.
