Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6012

The FAG 6012 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with main dimensions of 60 × 95 × 18 mm, offers a compact design capable of withstanding combined radial and axial loads.

The FAG 6012 deep groove ball bearing is a universally applicable rolling bearing made from hardened standard bearing steel (100Cr6). As a single-row radial ball bearing without integrated sealing washers, this model allows for the continuous circulation of external lubricants within the system. The cylindrical outer ring has no flange or circumferential groove and fits flush into corresponding housing bores. It is manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0 (PN or ABEC 1), making the bearing suitable for common shaft and housing seats in mechanical engineering.

What is the 6012 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians use this bearing when rotating shafts need to be radially supported and axially guided. The bearing performs well in conventional shaft mountings, gearbox units and in general mechanical engineering and fixture construction. Thanks to its open basic design, the component can be integrated directly into closed oil circuits on site or filled with application-specific grease. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements with low vibration and promotes even load distribution during operation.

What criteria are important for the open design?

As the bearing is supplied without contact seals, the bearing housing requires effective external sealing against contaminants. The standard radial bearing clearance is designed for typical fit conditions and moderate operating temperatures. Before installation, the permissible temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees Celsius must be observed; this is defined by the 100Cr6 material and the sheet steel cage. Furthermore, clean mounting surfaces on the shaft and housing are required to ensure uniform concentricity during operation.
