What is the equivalent of a 6212-2ZR bearing?

The 6212-2ZR is a 60×110×22mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 6212ZZ, NTN 6212ZZ, SKF 6212-2Z, Timken 6212-ZZ. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6212-2ZR bearing?

The 6212-2ZR bearing has a bore diameter of 60mm, outer diameter of 110mm, and width of 22mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 55.3 kN, static load rating of 36 kN, and weighs 755g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 8,000 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 6212-2ZR with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6212-2ZR (60×110×22mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (ZZ) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
