6012-2RS Ball Bearing

The 6012-2RS Ball Bearing is a deep groove ball bearing designed for industrial applications requiring efficient rotation, reduced vibration, and dependable performance in continuous-duty equipment.

Measuring 60x95x18mm, this bearing features a slimmer profile compared to traditional bearing series, making it an excellent option for systems that require compact installation without sacrificing mechanical stability. Manufactured from chrome steel and supplied factory pre-lubricated, the bearing uses double rubber seals to help retain grease while reducing exposure to external particles.

Applications for the 6012-2RS

The 6012-2RS is commonly used in systems combining speed, compact design, and continuous operation, including:

• Compact electric motors
• Automation equipment
• Industrial fans
• Conveyor systems
• Agricultural equipment
• Light industrial machinery
• Pulleys and transmission systems
• Continuous processing equipment

The 6000 series is widely recognized for balancing mechanical efficiency and space-saving installation in industrial applications.
