How the 3302-A-2RS1 model number is decoded

3302 A-2RS1 is the capped double-row angular-contact ball bearing for a 15 mm shaft, 15×42×19 mm, greased and sealed (or shielded) for life at the SKF works. A on this double-row bearing means no filling slots, so both ball rows retain their full complement. -2RS1 marks a contact NBR elastomer seal on each side, riding the inner ring: better fine-dust and moisture protection than a shield at the cost of seal drag and a lower speed ceiling. Envelope 15×42×19 mm (0.591×1.654×0.748 in), 13.5 mm radial section height, C 15.1 kN, C0 9.3 kN, Pu 0.4 kN.SKF publishes only the 12,000 r/min limiting speed for this execution, catalogue mass 130 g. Selection figures for 3302 A-2RS1: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 0.62, Pu 0.4 kN is about 3 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 9 g per millimetre of bore. Envelope economics: the 19 mm width over a 13.5 mm section yields 1.41 mm of ring width per section millimetre, and the bearing weighs 130 g for 15.1 kN of dynamic capacity — about 9 g per rated kN. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 42 over bore 15 is a 2.80× step for this size, and the 19 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 0.79; use these ratios when housing space around the 15 mm shaft is the first constraint. Contact-seal execution note: the two NBR -2RS1 lips ride the inner-ring lands, sealing the factory grease against moisture and fine dust; the lips add running torque and set the lower limiting speed printed for this size, and the sealed cavity is maintenance-free by design (no relubrication path). The A-2Z shielded order number is the low-drag alternative for cleaner positions.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • domestic-appliance motors
  • maintenance-free small gear and pump shafts
  • textile and office machinery

Known failure patterns

  • grease loss when the sealed-for-life cavity is overheated with no relubrication path
  • contamination trapped for life when a capped bearing is mounted with dirty hands or tools
  • seal-lip wear and grease loss after fine abrasive dust reaches the lip contact
  • tilted mounting that loads one double row more heavily than the other
  • brinelling from pressing the ring home through the balls or from static overload
  • brinelling from pressing the ring home through the balls or from static overload

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • Fit and fillet rules are unchanged from the open double-row 3302: j5 on a 15 mm rotating shaft, radii clearing the chamfer.
  • The shields/seals do not make the bearing waterproof under immersion or pressure washing; select external sealing for wet or wash-down duty.
  • The shields/seals do not make the bearing waterproof under immersion or pressure washing; select external sealing for wet or wash-down duty.
  • The contact NBR seals add drag and a lower speed ceiling: no relubrication is provided for, so mounting cleanliness decides much of the real grease life.
  • Catalogue ratings are SKF PUB BU/P1 17000 figures for 3302 A-2RS1 as the double contactsealed execution; the other order numbers of the 3302 size are different products and may carry different ratings — always quote the full designation when purchasing.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 3302-A-2RS1?

3302 A-2RS1 measures 15 mm bore × 42 mm OD × 19 mm width (0.591 × 1.654 × 0.748 in), mass about 130 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 15.1 kN, C0 9.3 kN, Pu 0.4 kN, SKF publishes only the 12,000 r/min limiting speed for this execution.

What does the A-2RS1 suffix mean?

A on this double-row bearing means no filling slots, so both ball rows retain their full complement. -2RS1 marks a contact NBR elastomer seal on each side, riding the inner ring: better fine-dust and moisture protection than a shield at the cost of seal drag and a lower speed ceiling.

What is the difference between 3302 A-2Z and A-2RS1?

Both share the double-row A geometry, dimensions and ratings; A-2Z uses non-contact metal shields (lower drag, higher speed, dust protection), A-2RS1 uses contact NBR rubber seals (better moisture and fine-dust protection, lower speed ceiling and more drag).

Can I wash or repack a capped 3302?

No — solvent flushes the factory grease with no way to replace it fully; keep the original protection in place and mount the bearing with clean tools.
