What is the equivalent of a NU-206-ECP-C3 bearing?

The NU-206-ECP-C3 is a 30×62×16mm ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK NU206W C3, NTN NU206ET2 C3, SKF NU 206 ECP/C3, Timken NU206EM/C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a NU-206-ECP-C3 bearing?

The NU-206-ECP-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 30mm, outer diameter of 62mm, and width of 16mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 39 kN, static load rating of 37.5 kN, and weighs 203g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 8,500 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG NU-206-ECP-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The NU-206-ECP-C3 (30×62×16mm) 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.
