SKF 6012/C3 1 Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing - 60 mm ID, 95 mm OD

This deep groove ball bearing is designed to support radial and limited axial loads in rotating equipment across automation, electronics and mechanical systems. It is an open-end, single-row bearing with a cylindrical bore and steel balls, intended for installations where straightforward, continual rotation is required. The cage is formed from sheet metal to maintain ball spacing and aid stable operation in typical industrial environments.

• High dynamic capacity enables handling of heavy operational loads
• Elevated static capacity supports sustained preload conditions
• C3 internal clearance permits thermal expansion during prolonged runs
• Limiting speed rating allows high-speed applications up to specified rpm
• Plain raceways reduce friction and simplify shaft alignment
• Single-row layout provides compactness for constrained assemblies

• Suitable for spindle and motor shafts in automation equipment
• Ideal for bearing housings in electrical drive systems
• Used with precision rollers in electronics manufacturing machines
• Can be used for gearbox intermediate shafts in mechanical assemblies
• Suitable for replacement in industrial rotating components

It requires a cylindrical shaft journal and appropriate seating tolerance to ensure correct radial location

The sheet‑metal cage offers good dimensional stability and low wear

At elevated rotational rates, internal clearance and a precise lubrication regime control heat build-up and running accuracy

Absence of Seals or shields simplifies heat dissipation but requires external protection or maintenance plans to prevent ingress of debris in exposed installations.
