What is the equivalent of a 1212 bearing?

The 1212 is a 60×110×22mm self-aligning ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 1212-TVH, NSK 1212, NTN 1212, Timken 1212. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 1212 bearing?

The 1212 bearing has a bore diameter of 60mm, outer diameter of 110mm, and width of 22mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 33.2 kN, static load rating of 18.6 kN, and weighs 790g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 5,300 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 1212 with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 1212 (60×110×22mm) 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.
