What is the equivalent of a 6205 bearing?

The 6205 is a 25×52×15mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 6205, NSK 6205, NTN 6205, Timken 6205. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6205 bearing?

The 6205 bearing has a bore diameter of 25mm, outer diameter of 52mm, and width of 15mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 14.8 kN, static load rating of 7.8 kN, and weighs 91g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 18,000 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 6205 with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6205 (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.
