How to read SKF 6201-2RSH/C3LHT23
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 01Bore
- 12 mm bore: code 01 stands for 12 mm by standard.
- 2RSH/C3LHT23Suffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
6201 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.

The SKF deep groove ball bearing with 2RSH seals, C3 clearance and LHT lubrication is a component designed to support radial and axial loads in both directions. Its sealed construction and high-temperature lubricant make it suitable for applications requiring reliability and low maintenance. It is a versatile solution for industrial equipment operating under demanding conditions.
The designation of these bearings is interpreted as follows: the basic number, for example 6201 or 6204, indicates the size and series. The suffix 2RSH indicates that the bearing has rubber contact seals on both sides, providing an effective barrier against contaminants and retaining the lubricant. The C3 indication corresponds to an internal radial clearance greater than standard, suitable for applications with interference fits or thermal gradients. Finally, LHT identifies a high-temperature lubricant, formulated to withstand heat conditions without losing its properties.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as food, chemical, textile and metallurgical. They are common in electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors and process machinery. Their ability to support combined loads and their robust sealing make them ideal for environments with dust, humidity or high temperatures. In industrial plants, they are found in critical equipment where reliability and reduced downtime are priorities.
To correctly select a deep groove ball bearing, it is essential to consider radial and axial load, rotation speed and environmental conditions. The 2RSH seal is appropriate for applications requiring protection against particles and liquids, although it may slightly increase friction torque. C3 clearance is recommended when the bearing is mounted with an interference fit on the shaft or in the housing, as it compensates for the reduction in internal clearance. LHT lubrication is designed for high operating temperatures, so it must be verified that it is compatible with the equipment's thermal range. During mounting, it is crucial to correctly align the shaft and housing, and apply mounting forces on the corresponding ring to avoid damage.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF bearings of this series can be replaced by products from other manufacturers that follow the same dimensional and design specifications. It is important to verify that the seal, clearance and lubrication suffix matches the application requirements. Although the main dimensions are usually standard, internal characteristics may vary between brands, so it is recommended to consult each supplier's technical data sheets. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell SKF and can advise you on the best option for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 6201-2RSH/C3LHT23 bearing?
- The SKF 6201-2RSH/C3LHT23 bearing has a 12 mm bore, a 32 mm outside diameter and a 10 mm width (12 x 32 x 10 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 6201.
- What does the 2RSH suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The 2RSH suffix indicates that the bearing has rubber contact seals on both sides. These seals protect against the entry of contaminants and retain the lubricant, extending the bearing's service life in hostile environments.
- When is C3 radial clearance recommended?
- C3 radial clearance is recommended when the bearing is mounted with an interference fit on the shaft or in the housing, or when it operates at high temperatures. In these cases, the greater clearance compensates for the reduction in internal clearance due to thermal expansion or mounting stresses.
- What type of lubricant is LHT and for what temperatures?
- LHT lubricant is a high-temperature grease designed to withstand demanding thermal conditions. It is generally used in applications where the operating temperature exceeds 100 °C, although it is important to verify the exact specifications with the manufacturer.
