6212 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6212 M/C3VL0241 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding industrial applications. This metric bearing features a C3 radial internal clearance and open construction, making it ideal for applications requiring precise operation under varying thermal conditions. Its high radial load capacity (12,432 lbf dynamic) and robust construction ensure reliable operation in machinery requiring stable rotational characteristics and long service life.
6212 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
| 6212 | Standard deep groove ball bearing series with 60mm bore, 110mm OD |
| M | Machined metal cage for enhanced strength and high-speed capability |
| C3 | Greater radial internal clearance than normal for thermal expansion compensation |
| VL0241 | Bearing is pre-lubricated with specific grease for initial operation |
6212 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Internal Geometry: The deep groove raceway design enables excellent radial load capacity while accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions, providing versatile load handling capability.
High-Speed Performance: The machined metal cage (M) ensures dimensional stability at high rotational speeds up to 11,000 rpm, maintaining precise ball guidance and reducing friction.
Thermal Compensation: The C3 radial clearance accommodates differential thermal expansion between shaft and housing, preventing preload conditions that could lead to premature failure.
Premium Material Construction: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, providing excellent wear resistance and durability under continuous operation.
