Designation explained
What 1200 means
Standard bearing numbers encode the type, the dimension series and the bore. Anything after the base number — seals, clearance, cage — is a suffix.
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
1 | Self-aligning ball bearing |
2 | Diameter series 2, dimension series 02 |
00 | 00 → 10 mm bore (fixed code for small bores) |
Variants
Common 1200 variants
Suffixes change the bearing without changing its boundary dimensions. The exact letters differ between manufacturers — always order by the full designation from the maker you choose.
| Suffix | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
K | 1200K | Tapered bore (taper 1:12) for mounting on an adapter or withdrawal sleeve |
2RS | 1200-2RS | Contact seals on both sides (available for selected sizes; may be wider) |
TV / TN9 / M | 1200-TVH | Cage material: polyamide (TV, TN9) or machined brass (M) — letters vary by maker |
CN (no suffix) | 1200 | Normal internal clearance |
C3 | 1200-C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal — common for electric motors and heated shafts |
C4 | 1200-C4 | Internal clearance greater than C3 |
Same envelope
Same 10 × 30 × 9 mm, different type
These bearings have exactly the same bore, outside diameter and width but are a different type. They fit the same housing and shaft, but carry loads differently — same size is not the same function.
Same bore
Other 10 mm bore bearings
Every standard bearing in this reference with a 10 mm bore, from light to heavy sections.

About these dimensions. Boundary dimensions follow ISO 15 (radial bearings — boundary dimensions, general plan), dimension series 02, and are the same for every manufacturer of a standard 1200. Chamfers, load ratings, speed limits and weight depend on the manufacturer and design and are not shown — use the maker's datasheet for engineering decisions. Last checked 9 October 2026.

What size is a 1200 bearing?
A 1200 is a self-aligning ball bearing with a 10 mm bore, 30 mm outside diameter and 9 mm width (10 × 30 × 9 mm). These boundary dimensions follow the ISO dimension plan, so they are the same across manufacturers.
Can I replace 1200 with another bearing of the same size?
Other bearing types can share the same 10 × 30 × 9 mm envelope, but a different type has different load directions, speed limits and mounting needs. Same dimensions alone do not make two bearings interchangeable.
Where are the load ratings and speed limits?
They depend on the manufacturer and internal design, so we do not list a single value. Check the datasheet for the exact full designation you intend to use.
