LD-401 Chrome Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearing 6000 6200 6300 Series Sealed Open
LD-401 chrome steel deep groove ball bearings in 6000, 6200, 6300 series. Bore 3-100mm, open/ZZ shielded/2RS rubber sealed. GCr15/SUJ2 steel, radial load capacity, ABEC precision.
Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used type of rolling bearing, featuring a simple design with deep raceway grooves on both the inner and outer rings that closely match the curvature of the balls. This design enables them to handle radial loads as well as moderate axial loads in both directions at high speeds. The LD-401 series is manufactured from high carbon chromium bearing steel (GCr15/SUJ2), which provides excellent hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life for demanding industrial applications.
The LD-401 bearing range covers the 6000, 6200, and 6300 series, representing light, medium, and heavy-duty configurations respectively. The 6000 series offers the smallest cross-section for space-constrained applications, the 6200 series is the most versatile general-purpose option, and the 6300 series provides the highest load capacity with wider raceways and larger balls. Bore diameters range from 3mm miniature bearings up to 100mm industrial sizes, with outer diameters from 7mm to 215mm and widths from 3mm to 47mm.
Multiple seal and shield configurations are available to suit different operating environments. Open-type bearings are suitable for well-lubricated enclosed housings, ZZ metal shields provide contactless protection against larger contaminants while allowing higher speeds, and 2RS rubber seals offer superior contamination protection with low-friction contact seals. Additional options include 2Z double shields and various seal colors. Cage materials include nylon for quiet high-speed operation, steel for high-temperature strength, and brass for heavy-duty shock resistance.
Available in ABEC precision grades 1 through 5, the LD-401 series meets the requirements of applications ranging from general industrial machinery to precision equipment. Standard lubrication options include lithium-based grease for general use and high-temperature greases for specialized applications. All bearings undergo strict quality control including dimensional inspection, noise testing, and rotational accuracy verification before shipment.

FAQ
How do I choose between open, ZZ, and 2RS bearing types?
Open bearings are for enclosed housings with external lubrication and offer the highest speed capability. ZZ shielded bearings provide basic contamination protection with metal shields that do not contact the inner ring, suitable for moderately dirty environments. 2RS rubber-sealed bearings have contact seals that provide superior protection against dust, dirt, and moisture, ideal for exposed or outdoor applications but with slightly lower speed ratings.
What is the difference between 6000, 6200, and 6300 series bearings?
The three series represent different load capacities within the same bore size. The 6000 series is the light series with the smallest cross-section and lowest load rating. The 6200 series is the medium series and the most commonly used, offering a good balance of load capacity and compactness. The 6300 series is the heavy series with the widest width, largest balls, and highest radial and axial load capacity.
What does ABEC precision grade mean and which do I need?
ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineers Committee) grades define the dimensional tolerance and running accuracy of bearings. ABEC 1 is the standard commercial grade suitable for most general-purpose applications. ABEC 3 offers improved precision for moderate-speed equipment. ABEC 5 provides high precision for applications requiring smooth rotation at higher speeds. Higher ABEC grades are typically needed for machine tools, high-speed spindles, and precision instruments.
What is the recommended lubrication and relubrication interval?
Most sealed bearings (2RS) are pre-lubricated with lithium-based grease and are maintenance-free for their service life. Open bearings can be lubricated with either grease or oil depending on the application. Relubrication intervals depend on operating conditions such as speed, temperature, and contamination levels. As a general guideline, grease-lubricated bearings should be relubricated every 1000-2000 hours of operation under normal conditions.
