What is the equivalent of a 6201 bearing?

The 6201 is a 12×32×10mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 6201, NSK 6201, NTN 6201, Timken 6201. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6201 bearing?

The 6201 bearing has a bore diameter of 12mm, outer diameter of 32mm, and width of 10mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 7.28 kN, static load rating of 3.1 kN, and weighs 35.4g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 32,000 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 6201 with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6201 (12×32×10mm) 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.
