6912-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing | 6900 Series Thin Section | Double Rubber Seals | 60 × 85 × 13 mm

6912-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing | 6900 Series Thin Section | Double Rubber Seals | 60 × 85 × 13 mm

The 6912-2RS is a single-row, thin-section deep groove ball bearing from the ISO 6900 series, built for precision machinery where a large bore must be accommodated within a compact radial envelope. With a 60 mm bore, 85 mm outer diameter, and just 13 mm of width, this bearing delivers a radial cross-section of only 12.5 mm — making it the go-to selection when space constraints rule out a standard 6000 or 6200 series bearing of the same bore size. Double contact rubber seals (2RS) provide effective protection against contamination and retain grease throughout the bearing's service life, enabling maintenance-free operation in industrial robots, optical instruments, rotary encoders, stepping motors, and precision automation equipment. Also designated 61912-2RS under the current ISO numbering system, the 6912-2RS is fully interchangeable with major-brand equivalents from SKF, NSK, FAG, NTN, KOYO, and TIMKEN.

6912-2RS / 61912-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing 60×85×13 mm | ISO 6900 Series | Contact Rubber Sealed

A precision slim-ring bearing engineered for high-bore, space-critical applications across the automation, medical, and aerospace sectors. The 6912-2RS combines the deep groove raceway geometry — which handles both radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions — with a minimized cross-section that fits within radial envelopes inaccessible to conventional bearing series. Pre-packed with grease and sealed on both sides with contact rubber seals, it arrives ready for installation with no additional lubrication required.

Key Performance Features

01. Thin Cross-Section for High-Bore, Space-Constrained Designs

Where a 60 mm shaft would normally require a 6012-series bearing with a 95 mm OD and 18 mm width, the 6912-2RS achieves the same bore fitment within an 85 mm OD and 13 mm width. This 10 mm reduction in outer diameter and 5 mm reduction in width is structurally significant in compact gearboxes, robotic joints, and precision instruments where every millimetre of radial envelope determines whether the bearing fits. The 6900 series exists precisely to serve this design requirement.

02. Dual Designation Compatibility — 6912 and 61912

This bearing carries two valid ISO designations: the legacy 6912-2RS and the current ISO standard 61912-2RS. Both refer to identical 60×85×13 mm geometry and are fully interchangeable. When sourcing replacements or cross-referencing brand equivalents, specifiers should search under both numbers to locate all available options across distributor catalogues and manufacturer websites.

03. Double Contact Rubber Seals for Clean, Maintenance-Free Operation

The 2RS suffix designates two contact-lip seals bonded to the outer ring, bearing against machined shoulders on the inner ring to form an effective barrier against fine dust, oil mist, and moisture ingress. Combined with factory grease fill, the bearing operates maintenance-free for its full service life — a particularly valuable feature in enclosed robotic joints, encoder housings, and medical equipment where access for re-lubrication is not practical.

Design & Configuration

The 6912-2RS belongs to the ISO 6900 thin-section series, characterised by a cross-section that remains proportionally slim relative to bore diameter — distinguishing it from the 6200 and 6300 heavy-series bearings that carry larger cross-sections on the same bores. This makes the 6900 series the standard choice in instrument-grade and precision automation applications where minimising moving mass and outer envelope is a design objective. The contact rubber seals are bonded to the outer ring and press against the inner ring, providing good exclusion of fine particles and moisture at the cost of slightly increased drag torque compared to non-contact shields. For applications requiring higher speeds with light contamination control, the 6912-ZZ shielded variant is an alternative worth evaluating. C3 internal clearance variants are available for applications involving thermal expansion or interference-fit conditions.

"In robotic joints, precision instruments, and automation drives where a 60 mm shaft must live inside the tightest possible housing, the 6912-2RS thin-section bearing resolves the design constraint without compromise. Its slim 85 mm OD, double contact seals, and full deep groove load geometry make it a trusted component wherever engineers need large-bore performance in a small-bore footprint."

6910-ZZ Thin Section Deep Groove Ball Bearing 50x72x12mm Double Steel Shield — 9000 RPM Grease / 11000 RPM Oil, Compatible with SKF 61910-2Z and NSK 6910ZZ for Servo Motors and Encoders
6910-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing | 6900 Series Thin Section | Double Metal Shields | 50 × 72 × 12 mm

The 6910-ZZ is a single-row, thin-section deep groove ball bearing from the ISO 6900 series, fitted with double non-contact pressed-steel shields for light contamination protection at minimal drag penalty. Measuring 50 mm bore, 72 mm outer diameter, and 12 mm width, it belongs to the same slim-ring family as other 6900-series bearings but targets applications where the priority is speed capability and low running torque rather than maximum contamination exclusion. With a grease limiting speed of 9,000 r/min and an oil limiting speed of 11,000 r/min, the 6910-ZZ runs meaningfully faster than its rubber-sealed 6910-2RS counterpart — making it the preferred shielded configuration for precision motor spindles, encoder drives, servo actuators, and optical equipment rotating at sustained higher speeds within a compact 50 mm bore housing.

Sharing the same compact 50 × 72 × 12 mm envelope as the shielded 6910-ZZ, the 2RS variant makes a deliberate trade: it accepts a lower speed ceiling in exchange for a meaningful improvement in contamination exclusion — a worthwhile exchange in any precision application where the operating environment cannot be guaranteed clean. Factory pre-greased and permanently sealed, it is suited for industrial robots, outdoor automation equipment, laser systems, optical instruments, and stepping motor assemblies where fine dust, humidity, or occasional liquid exposure would otherwise shorten bearing life.
