What is the equivalent of a 6012A-2Z-C3 bearing?

The 6012A-2Z-C3 is a 60×95×18mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 6012-2ZR-C3, NSK 6012ZZ C3E, NTN 6012ZZ/C3, Timken 6012-ZZ C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6012A-2Z-C3 bearing?

The 6012A-2Z-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 60mm, outer diameter of 95mm, and width of 18mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 30.7 kN, static load rating of 23.2 kN, and weighs 395g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 9,500 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 6012A-2Z-C3 with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6012A-2Z-C3 (60×95×18mm) can be replaced with the equivalent FAG 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.
