The 3205 is a double-row angular contact ball bearing with a 25 mm bore, a 52 mm outside diameter and a width of 20.6 mm. Its two rows of balls are set at an angle, so one bearing carries radial loads together with axial loads in both directions.
It shares the 25 mm bore and 52 mm outside diameter of the 6205 deep groove bearing but is wider, at 20.6 mm against 15 mm. That extra width is what lets it take axial loads and tilting forces that would wear out a single-row bearing.
On the same 25 mm bore, the 3305 (25 × 62 × 25.4 mm) is the heavier version. Makers write the 3205 in their own style, such as 3205 A-2Z at SKF and 3205-B-2RSR-TVH at FAG, so send us the full number from the old bearing.
Why 3205 prices vary
- Genuine or copy: fakes sell far below the real price and fail early. We sell only genuine bearings.
- Brand and origin: each maker, and each country of manufacture, is priced differently.
- Version: sealed, shielded, C3, stainless and low-noise versions cost more than the open bearing.
- Quantity: bulk and repeat orders are priced lower.
So we quote today’s price for each brand rather than list one number. Ask for the 3205 price on WhatsApp.

Is your 3205 genuine?
Counterfeit bearings are sold in many sizes and brands, including the 3205. Check that the marking on the ring matches the box exactly, that the brand’s own suffix style is used, and be wary of prices far below the market. How to spot a fake bearing.

Questions
3205 bearing: frequently asked
What size is a 3205 bearing?
A 3205 measures 25 mm bore × 52 mm outside diameter × 20.6 mm width.
Can a 3205 replace a 6205?
Only if the housing has room for the extra width. Both have a 25 mm bore and 52 mm outside diameter, but the 3205 is 20.6 mm wide against 15 mm for the 6205.
Why use a double-row angular contact bearing?
It carries radial loads and axial loads in both directions in one bearing, and resists tilting, where a single deep groove bearing would need a second bearing or would wear quickly.
What load can a 3205 bearing carry?
SKF rates the 3205 A (its number for the 3205) at a dynamic load rating (C) of 22 kN and a static load rating (C0) of 15.3 kN, with a limiting speed of 12,000 r/min. Other brands publish similar figures. How much load it can carry in service also depends on speed, lubrication and the life you need.
