What is the equivalent of a NU312E-M6-C3 bearing?

The NU312E-M6-C3 is a 60×130×31mm cylindrical roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK NU312W C3, NTN NU312ET2 C3, SKF NU 312 ECP/C3, Timken NU312EM/C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a NU312E-M6-C3 bearing?

The NU312E-M6-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 60mm, outer diameter of 130mm, and width of 31mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 124 kN, static load rating of 126 kN, and weighs 1800g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 3,800 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG NU312E-M6-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The NU312E-M6-C3 (60×130×31mm) 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.
