6212-2Z/C3WT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6212-2Z/C3WT is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial applications. This shielded bearing offers excellent radial load capacity and is characterized by its C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Its compact design and robust construction provide a cost-effective solution for high-reliability requirements, ensuring stable operation across a wide temperature range.
6212-2Z/C3WT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 2Z | Non-contact steel shields on both sides | Provides effective contamination protection while maintaining high rotational speeds with minimal friction increase |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion and interference fits, preventing preload conditions in high-temperature applications |
| WT | No lubrication (unlubricated) | Ideal for applications where external lubrication is preferred or where specific lubricant compatibility is required |
6212-2Z/C3WT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
This bearing features a single row deep groove design with optimized raceway geometry that ensures smooth operation and efficient load distribution. The non-contact steel shields (2Z) provide excellent protection against contaminants while maintaining low friction, contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 5,600 rpm. Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, it delivers superior durability and wear resistance. The C3 radial clearance provides operational stability in applications subject to thermal expansion or where interference fits create tighter internal conditions. With a radial dynamic load rating of 1,178 lbf and static load rating of 8,138 lbf, this bearing offers reliable performance under significant radial loads.
6212-2Z/C3WT Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric motors and generators requiring shielded protection
- Industrial gearboxes and transmission systems
- Material handling equipment including conveyor systems
- Agricultural machinery and implements
- Pump systems and fluid handling equipment
- General industrial machinery requiring reliable radial support
