What is the equivalent of a 6006Z-C3 bearing?

The 6006Z-C3 is a 30×55×13mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 6006ZZ C3E, NTN 6006ZZ/C3, SKF 6006-2Z C3, Timken 6006-ZZ C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6006Z-C3 bearing?

The 6006Z-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 30mm, outer diameter of 55mm, and width of 13mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 13.8 kN, static load rating of 8.3 kN, and weighs 113g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 17,000 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 6006Z-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6006Z-C3 (30×55×13mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (ZZ) and clearance class (C3) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
