How the 7412 model number is decoded
In the 7400-series (ISO 15 diameter series 4) the last two digits encode the bore: 7412 carries bore code 12 = 60 mm. Outside diameter 150 mm and width 35 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan, shared with the 6412 deep-groove envelope. The '7' prefix marks a single-row angular-contact design with an asymmetric raceway and a nominal 40° contact angle (suffix C); a higher-angle variant carries more axial load, a 25° (E / A5) variant runs faster. For combined radial and axial load with a rotating inner ring on a 60 mm shaft, specify a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the load direction and magnitude, and pair two units (DB or DF) for bidirectional thrust.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- machine tool spindles
- centrifugal pumps
- industrial compressors
- gearbox output shafts
Known failure patterns
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft is stationary
- edge loading and early spalling from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
- electric pitting in VFD-driven spindles without shaft grounding protection
- raceway spalling from axial overload exceeding the single-direction thrust rating
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Thermal expansion on this 60 mm bore consumes preload in a DB pair; size the preload class and clearance for the operating temperature, not the cold state.
- The 74xx heavy section at 60 mm bore (150 mm OD) is built for high combined load at lower speed; specifying it in a high-rpm spindle gives excess heat and short grease life — use 72/73 there.
- Assign fits by which ring rotates: an interference shaft fit for a rotating inner ring; if the outer ring rotates instead, reverse the logic — a loose rotating ring creeps and frets its seat.
- A single 7412 angular-contact bearing takes axial load in ONE direction only — for bidirectional thrust, mount a matched pair (DB back-to-back or DF face-to-face), never rely on one row.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 7412 angular-contact bearing?
A 7412 single-row angular-contact ball bearing has a 60 mm bore, 150 mm outer diameter and 35 mm width (2.362 × 5.906 × 1.378 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is an open bearing with a nominal 40° contact angle. Geometry-based estimated mass is about 2651 g for a brass-cage unit; catalogue masses vary with cage and ball complement.
How does the 7412 bore code work?
The last two digits of 7412 are bore code 12, giving 12 × 5 = 60 mm bore. The 150 mm outside diameter and 35 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, shared with the 6412 deep-groove envelope.
What is the contact angle of 7412?
The nominal contact angle is 40° (suffix C): a higher angle carries more axial load but limits speed. A 25° (suffix E or A5) variant runs faster and is preferred for high-speed spindles; a 15° (suffix C7) version exists for very-high-speed duty. Confirm the angle and ball complement in the supplier catalogue.
Can a single 7412 take axial load in both directions?
No. A single-row angular-contact bearing carries axial load in one direction only. For bidirectional thrust, mount a matched pair — DB (back-to-back) for a rigid, moment-resisting arrangement with preload class light (L) for speed or heavy (H) for stiffness, DF (face-to-face) for thermal expansion tolerance, or DT (tandem) to share one-direction load.
How does 7412 compare with a deep-groove 6412?
Both share the 60×150×35 mm ISO 15 envelope (45.0 mm radial section), but the angular-contact 7412 has an asymmetric raceway and 40° contact angle: it carries higher combined axial+radial load and runs with controlled preload, but is slower, noisier and needs pairing — it is not a drop-in replacement for a deep-groove 6412.
