Stihl Grooved Ball Bearing 6201-2Z - OEM Number: 9503-003-6462

The Stihl Grooved Ball Bearing 6201-2Z (OEM 9503-003-6462) is a genuine replacement rotational support component designed for use on a wide range of Stihl handheld power equipment, including brushcutters, pole pruners, hedge trimmers, and disc cutters. It is used within high-speed rotating assemblies to support shafts and reduce friction during operation.

Manufactured to OEM specifications, this deep-groove ball bearing is engineered for durability, precision rotation, and reliable performance under high-speed and high-vibration operating conditions. The 6201-2Z design incorporates metal shields on both sides of the bearing to help retain lubrication and reduce contamination ingress.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

• Supports rotating shafts and moving mechanical assemblies
• Reduces friction during high-speed operation
• Maintains shaft alignment and smooth rotational movement
• Helps withstand radial and light axial loads
• Shielded design assists in protecting against dirt and debris ingress

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• OEM Part Number: 9503-003-6462
• Bearing Type: Deep-groove ball bearing
• Bearing Reference: 6201-2Z
• Function: Rotational shaft support and friction reduction
• Application: Stihl engine, clutch, gearbox, and cutting system assemblies
• Construction: Hardened precision steel bearing with dual metal shields
• Design: OEM-specified tolerance and fitment for high-speed handheld equipment applications

Industry-standard 6201-series bearings are widely used in high-speed machinery because of their ability to handle combined radial and axial loads while maintaining low rotational resistance.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Suitable for a range of Stihl equipment, including:

• Stihl FS87 / FS90 / FS100 brushcutters
• Stihl KM90 / KM100 Kombi systems
• Stihl HT101 / HT131 pole pruners
• Stihl HL-series hedge trimmers
• Stihl TSA230 disc cutters
• Additional Stihl handheld equipment using 6201-2Z bearing configurations

These bearings are commonly used in clutch housings, crankshaft support assemblies, gear heads, and rotating drive systems across professional Stihl equipment ranges.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Always confirm the correct OEM part number and machine model before ordering, as bearing specifications, shielding type, and tolerance ratings may vary depending on machine series and production range. Worn or damaged bearings can result in vibration, noise, shaft misalignment, overheating, or premature failure of connected components. Using genuine OEM-spec bearings is recommended to ensure correct fitment and long service life in high-speed equipment applications.
