The SKF double row angular contact bearing is a component designed to support combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Its construction with two rows of balls and inclined raceways allows it to handle tilting moments and high axial loads. It is used in applications requiring high rigidity and precision, such as machine tool spindles, pumps, compressors and gearboxes. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this SKF line, a brand MR distributes.
The designation of these bearings follows a standardized system. In the example 3212 A-2RS1/C3GEM6, the prefix 32 indicates that it is a double row angular contact ball bearing. The number 12 corresponds to the size, which in this case implies a bore diameter of 60 mm. The suffix A indicates an internal design variant. 2RS1 indicates that it has rubber seals on both sides, which protects against contamination and retains lubricant. C3 specifies an internal radial clearance greater than normal, suitable for applications with elevated temperatures or interference fits. GEM6 refers to special lubrication or treatment characteristics, according to the SKF designation. Knowing these codes is key to selecting the correct bearing.
These bearings are used in industries where combined loads and precision are critical. In Argentina, you find them in machine tool main spindles, process pumps, screw compressors, speed reducers and power transmission equipment. They are also used in automotive applications, such as vehicle wheels, and in agricultural and industrial machinery. Their ability to support axial loads in both directions and moments makes them ideal for assemblies requiring rigidity and rotational accuracy. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them to supply the country's main industrial sectors.
To select the right bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of the loads, the rotation speed, the environmental conditions and the type of lubrication. The 2RS1 sealing is recommended in contaminated environments, while open or shield versions are used in clean, high-speed applications. The C3 clearance is useful when the fit is with interference or there are thermal gradients. During mounting, ensure precise alignment between the shaft and the housing, and apply preload or axial clearance according to the specifications. Lubrication must be suitable for the operating temperature and speed. Incorrect mounting can reduce bearing service life.
Regarding equivalents, SKF double row angular contact bearings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional and suffix designation. However, internal variants, such as clearance or seal type, may differ between manufacturers. Therefore, always verify that the technical characteristics match those of the original bearing. If you have doubts, consult our technical team, which can help you find the best option for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 3212 A-2RS1/C3GEM6 bearing?
- The SKF 3212 A-2RS1/C3GEM6 bearing has a 60 mm bore, a 110 mm outside diameter and a 36.5 mm width (60 x 110 x 36.5 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 3212.
- What does the 2RS1 suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The 2RS1 suffix indicates that the bearing has rubber seals on both sides. These seals protect against the entry of contaminants and retain lubricant, extending service life in dirty or humid environments.
- When is it advisable to choose a bearing with C3 clearance?
- C3 clearance is advisable when the bearing is mounted with an interference fit on the shaft or housing, or when it operates at elevated temperatures that can reduce internal clearance. Also in applications where greater tolerance to misalignment is required.
- How can I tell if a bearing from another brand is equivalent to the SKF one?
- You must compare the main dimensions (bore, outer diameter and width) and the suffixes indicating sealing, clearance and other characteristics. Although the basic designation matches, internal variants may differ. Consult us with the code and we will help you verify.
