What is the equivalent of a 1205 bearing?

The 1205 is a 25×52×15mm self-aligning ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 1205-TVH, NSK 1205, NTN 1205, Timken 1205. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 1205 bearing?

The 1205 bearing has a bore diameter of 25mm, outer diameter of 52mm, and width of 15mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 10.8 kN, static load rating of 4.5 kN, and weighs 126g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 11,000 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 1205 with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 1205 (25×52×15mm) can be replaced with the equivalent FAG part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
