6212-2RS1/C3GEM6 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6212-2RS1/C3GEM6 is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding industrial applications. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, it also accommodates moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include a high radial dynamic load rating of 1178 lbf, reliable operation across a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C, and compliance with ROHS and REACH environmental standards. The combination of sealed construction and C3 radial internal clearance makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring consistent performance under varying operational conditions.
6212-2RS1/C3GEM6 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 6212 | Basic designation: 60mm bore, 110mm OD, 22mm width | Defines the bearing dimensions and standard deep groove ball design |
| 2RS1 | Contact rubber seals on both sides | Provides superior contamination protection and grease retention |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in high-temperature applications |
| GEM6 | Grease filling specification | Ensures optimal lubrication for the bearing's intended service conditions |
6212-2RS1/C3GEM6 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Constructed entirely from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, the 6212-2RS1/C3GEM6 delivers exceptional durability and consistent performance. The single row deep groove design provides excellent radial load capacity while maintaining compact dimensions. The contact rubber seals (2RS1) effectively shield the bearing from contaminants and retain the factory-applied GEM6 grease, enabling reliable operation in challenging environments. The C3 radial clearance prevents binding under thermal expansion, making it suitable for applications with temperature variations. With an ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class and a limiting speed of 5,600 rpm, this bearing offers precise operation for general industrial applications.
