FAG 6312-2Z-C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing, Shielded

FAG 6312-2Z-C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing is a shielded radial bearing from FAG (Schaeffler) in the 6312 series. The 2Z suffix indicates shields on both sides, providing basic protection against dust and moisture while the bearing operates. The C3 suffix denotes greater-than-normal radial internal clearance, which accommodates thermal expansion and mounting tolerances in service. As a deep groove ball bearing, it is designed to carry radial loads with the potential for small axial loads in either direction, offering versatility for general‑purpose rotating equipment where shielded protection and extra clearance are advantageous. This FAG bearing combines dual shields with enhanced clearance to balance contamination resistance, accommodate dynamic conditions, and support smooth operation across a range of speeds and duties.
