Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6212

The FAG 6212 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with main dimensions of 60x110x22 mm, is primarily designed to support radial loads in demanding machine designs.

The FAG 6212 deep groove ball bearing is designed as a universal radial ball bearing for a wide range of industrial applications. With a bore of 60 mm, an outside diameter of 110 mm and a width of 22 mm, this design withstands high radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, the single-row version maintains dimensional stability within a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees.

What is the 6212 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is primarily used in shaft mountings for rotating machinery that require precise guidance under predominantly radial loads. The deep raceway geometry promotes low-vibration operation at high circumferential speeds. As the design is open at both ends, it is particularly suitable for enclosed housings in which lubricating oil or grease can reach the balls unhindered. The integrated sheet steel cage maintains a precise spacing between the rolling elements and keeps the component weight low.

What should be borne in mind with the open deep-groove ball bearing 6212?

As an open rolling bearing, this variant does not feature any manufacturer-fitted sealing washers. An external housing seal specifically protects the raceways from environmental conditions such as dirt particles, dust or moisture. The open design allows the lubricant to be selected to suit the specific operating environment. With standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1), the model is suitable for standard fit conditions without significant thermal linear expansion.
