What is the equivalent of a 6315M1-C3 bearing?

The 6315M1-C3 is a 75×160×37mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 6315 C3E, NTN 6315 C3, SKF 6315 C3, Timken 6315 C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6315M1-C3 bearing?

The 6315M1-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 75mm, outer diameter of 160mm, and width of 37mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 113 kN, static load rating of 73.5 kN, and weighs 2100g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 4,500 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 6315M1-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6315M1-C3 (75×160×37mm) 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.

Technical Details & Applications

Specification variations and common equipment types.

Internal Clearance

Greater Than Normal (C3)

Increased radial internal clearance. Required when bearings operate at elevated temperatures or with tight shaft fits.

Temperature70-150°C operating temperature

Seal Type

Open (No Seal)

No seals or shields. Allows external lubrication and cooling. Lowest friction, highest speed capability.

Avoid forDirty, dusty, or wet environments. Applications without planned lubrication maintenance.

Examples

Machine tool spindles
Gearboxes with oil bath lubrication
