It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays off.

    6201RS

    • 6 - type code: single-row, deep groove ball bearing
    • 2 - series / robustness: (2 corresponds with ‘light’, which is more durable than 0, but less durable than 3 or 4)
    • 01 - size code: 12mm bore (inner diameter)
    • RS - grease seal: rubber seal one side (no seal would be ‘6201’, both sides sealed would be ‘6201-2RS’. Z and ZZ are used similarly to indicate presence of steel shield(s))

    The 6201 is a good fit for this application, and providing the gerbil wasn’t too hard on it, should last a long time.
