Decoding SKF 3212 A-2RS1/MT33
- 32Series
- Double row angular contact ball bearings, 32 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 12Bore
- Bore 60 mm (12 × 5).
- A-2RS1/MT33Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
3212 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 3212 A-2RS1/MT33 measures 60 mm across the bore and 110 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 36.5 mm (60 x 110 x 36.5 mm).

SKF double row angular contact ball bearings are built to carry combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Two rows of balls running on inclined raceways give them the stiffness and thrust capacity needed in precision applications such as machine tools, pumps and gearboxes. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this SKF line to customers throughout the United States and Latin America.
The part number tells you a lot before you open a catalog. Take 3204 A-2RS1/MT33: the leading digits identify series and size, A is an internal design variant, 2RS1 means double rubber seals, and MT33 covers the grease type and internal clearance. The same structure applies to 3206 A-2RS1/MT33 and 3309 A-2RS1/MT33, which differ only in size. Reading those suffixes correctly is the first step in matching a bearing to the job.
These bearings show up in metallurgy, cement, paper and food processing, and in centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, conveyors, gearboxes and machine tool spindles. Because they accept axial load in both directions, they suit shafts that need high rigidity and accurate rotation. When you select one, work from the radial and axial loads, the running speed and the environment. The 2RS1 seal keeps contaminants out and grease in, but confirm the operating temperature is compatible. MT33 clearance covers many standard applications; other variants are available if you need tighter precision.
Mounting matters as much as selection. Align the bearing properly and avoid impacts that could mark the raceways. Correct lubrication and relubrication practice will support service life. For replacements, SKF double row angular contact bearings interchange with other brands that use the same dimensional designation, but suffixes do not always line up: sealing, clearance and lubrication can differ from one maker to another. Check the technical data before you swap a bearing out.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 3212 A-2RS1/MT33 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 3212 A-2RS1/MT33 measures 60 mm across the bore and 110 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 36.5 mm (60 x 110 x 36.5 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 3212.
- What does the 2RS1 suffix mean on these bearings?
- 2RS1 indicates double rubber seals on both sides. The seals block dust and moisture and help retain the lubricating grease, which supports bearing life in demanding environments.
- What is the difference between the 32 series and the 33 series?
- The 32 and 33 series differ in dimensions and load capacity. The 33 series is generally wider, which gives it higher axial and radial load capacity. The choice depends on the space available and the loads the application must carry.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with one from another brand?
- Yes, if the dimensions match, but check that the sealing, internal clearance and lubrication suffixes suit your application. Nomenclature varies between manufacturers, so it is worth consulting a specialist before making the change.
