Ball Bearing 6201 9403536201

This single-row, deep-groove ball bearing is sized at 12x32x10mm and is made of durable metal. It is used to reduce friction and vibrations when it is in between two parts that are rotating or moving against each other. This bearing can handle forces that are applied to it up-and-down and sideways, also known as radial and axial loads. It is easy to install and can handle high rotational speeds without causing too much vibration or making much noise. Over time, this ball bearing wears out from heat and pressure and starts to fail. If the engine of your machine has been run without oil in the gas tank, this ball bearing can seize. In these situations, you will need to replace the ball bearings. Otherwise, you will notice that your machine overheats, works harder because of the increased friction it is handling, and produces excessive vibration and noise. To extract a ball bearing from your machine, you will need to insert a flat-head screwdriver through the bearing opening and against the seal. Then, tap the seal out with a mallet. Afterwards, slot a socket through the diameter of the bearing, and tap the entire bearing out of its place by again using a mallet. This authentic OEM part is sold individually, so be sure to refer to your user manual to verify how many bearings your machine needs and where they are in it.
