Description
The SKF 5312 A/C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing with a 60 mm bore, 130 mm outside diameter, and 54 mm width. The unit is marked 5312 A/C3 with date code 1989 03, batch marking 72 USA, and code BF01, indicating United States manufacture. It arrives new in original SKF factory packaging.
The 5312 A series uses two rows of balls arranged at a contact angle, allowing the bearing to support combined radial and axial loads in both directions in a single compact assembly. The C3 suffix designates internal radial clearance greater than Normal, suited to applications with elevated operating temperatures, interference fits, or thermal expansion across the inner and outer rings. Internal construction features solid steel inner and outer rings with a sheet steel cage and an open, non sealed design that accepts user applied grease or oil lubrication.
Typical applications for SKF 5312 series double row angular contact ball bearings include pumps, compressors, gearboxes, electric motors, agricultural drives, and general industrial machine tool spindles where bi directional thrust capacity is required alongside radial load support. The 60 x 130 x 54 mm envelope makes the 5312 A/C3 functionally interchangeable with the SKF 3312 A/C3 and equivalents from MRC, NSK, NTN, FAG, and Koyo carrying the same metric size and clearance class.
Package markings, part number, and date code are visible in the listing photos. Buyers should verify required clearance class, cage type, and dimensional fit against their application specifications.
