What is the equivalent of a 6216Z-C3 bearing?

The 6216Z-C3 is a 80×140×26mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 6216ZZ C3E, NTN 6216ZZ/C3, SKF 6216-2Z C3, Timken 6216-ZZ C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6216Z-C3 bearing?

The 6216Z-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 80mm, outer diameter of 140mm, and width of 26mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 70.2 kN, static load rating of 49 kN, and weighs 990g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 5,600 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 6216Z-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6216Z-C3 (80×140×26mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK 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.
