SKF 6212-Z Deep Groove Ball Bearing

The SKF 6212-Z Deep Groove Ball Bearing is a precision deep groove ball bearing manufactured by SKF, the world's leading rolling bearing producer founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1907. Designated 6212-Z, this bearing features 60 mm bore (d), 110 mm outer diameter (D), and 22 mm width (B), giving it a compact yet robust geometry suited to heavy-duty industrial rotating equipment. It is fitted with a single seal/shield (Single metal shield (Z)) on one side, suited to arrangements with an opposing shoulder or external seal. It carries a basic dynamic load rating (C) of approximately 55.3 kN and a basic static load rating (C0) of approximately 36 kN, with a reference rotational speed of around 8500 r/min depending on lubrication and mounting conditions.

The 6212-Z is engineered with SKF's high-grade chrome steel raceways, precision-ground rolling elements and optimised internal geometry to reduce friction, running temperature and noise. This makes it particularly well suited to the demanding thermal conditions of the Saudi Arabian climate, where ambient temperatures regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius and airborne dust and sand place severe demands on sealing and lubrication. SKF's seal and clearance options help maintain a clean lubricant film, extending grease life and reducing unplanned downtime in desert and coastal Eastern Province environments where humidity and salt-laden air accelerate corrosion.

In Saudi industry the 6212-Z is widely specified for rotating equipment at facilities such as MAADEN (Gold mine conveyor drive systems) and SABIC (Yanbu ethylene cracker pumps). Typical duties include electric motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, compressors and conveyor systems across the oil and gas, petrochemical, desalination, power generation and mining sectors. SKF bearings are accepted on major Saudi approved vendor lists including the Saudi Aramco AVL, and are SASO compliant for use throughout the Kingdom.
