What is the equivalent of a 6215A-C3 bearing?

The 6215A-C3 is a 75×130×25mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 6215 C3E, NTN 6215 C3, SKF 6215 C3, Timken 6215 C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6215A-C3 bearing?

The 6215A-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 75mm, outer diameter of 130mm, and width of 25mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 61.8 kN, static load rating of 41.5 kN, and weighs 810g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 6,000 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 6215A-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6215A-C3 (75×130×25mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (C3) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
