SKF 6012-2RS1 Rubber Sealed Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing 60x95x18mm

The SKF 6012-2RS1 sealed deep groove ball bearing provides support for rotating shafts in equipment where a compact bearing envelope is needed without sacrificing the ability to accommodate radial and moderate axial loads. Its single row construction supports axial forces in either direction within the bearing's operating limits. SKF specifies a basic dynamic load rating of 30.7kN and a basic static load rating of 23.2kN, providing reference values for bearing life calculations and load assessment. Compared with the wider 6212 and 6312 bearing series, the 6012 offers a slimmer arrangement when the machinery's loading requirements permit. Its bearing steel rings and sheet metal cage are intended for accurately aligned shaft and housing assemblies.

The 2RS1 double rubber contact seals retain the factory grease and help restrict dust and moisture from entering the raceways. This sealed configuration is useful in electric motors, ventilation equipment and pump assemblies where frequent relubrication is inconvenient. SKF lists a limiting speed of 4,300rpm for this variant, although permissible operating conditions also depend on load, temperature and seal friction. The bearing has normal radial internal clearance rather than C3, so interference fits and thermal expansion should be checked before installation. When replacing an existing bearing, match the full designation to ensure the correct sealing and clearance arrangement.

Typical Applications:

Industrial electric motor shaft assemblies

Centrifugal pumps and circulation systems

Industrial ventilation fans and blowers

Conveyor drive and pulley shaft arrangements

Mechanical power transmission equipment
