How the 6022-RSR model number is decoded

6022-RSR uses two non-contact elastomer lips with very low drag; coarse debris stays out, but the bearing is not liquid-tight. Within the extra-light 60xx section (diameter series 0 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 22 by five gives the 110 mm bore; the 170 mm outside diameter and 28 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 110 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a m6 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. NSK's non-contact seal suffix is VV (catalogue number 6022VV), mapped here from the industry-neutral -RSR spelling; speed capability is close to the open bearing but VV is not liquid-tight.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Mount this 110 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
• The 60xx extra-light section at 110 mm bore uses a smaller 170 mm OD than a 6222; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 62-series bearing with a 60-series without re-rating the load.
• RSR low-friction seals on 6022-RSR run faster than contact-seal 6022-2RS but let fine dust and moisture past the non-contact lip; in dirty or wet duty specify 6022-2RS instead.
• The low-drag lip of 6022-RSR barely touches the inner ring; after long shelf storage the grease can separate, so rotate the rings by hand and confirm smooth, silent running before fitting.
• A 110 mm bore listing showing the right d/D/B but no standard or precision-class reference may be a loose-tolerance import; measure bore/OD spread before fitting it to a machined shaft.
• Do not quieten a noisy bearing by preloading it: the 6000-series is a deep-groove design, not angular-contact; axial preload raises temperature and shortens grease life.
• NSK catalogues this low-friction non-contact seal as 6022VV (suffix VV), mapped here from the industry-neutral -RSR spelling. NSK rates its speed capability close to the open bearing, but VV is not liquid-tight — for wet or fine-dust duty step up to the DDU contact seal (industry-neutral -2RS).
• At 110 mm bore 6022 is in NSK's medium industrial range; the pressed-steel cage is standard, but large-section 63xx sizes at this bore can be ordered with a machined brass cage (suffix M) for heavy-shock or very-low-speed duty — confirm cage material with the NSK channel if the application sees impact loads.
• At 93 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 73 kN static (C0), 6022 is a heavy-load NSK bearing for industrial gearboxes and large conveyors; NSK expects a machined brass cage (suffix M) at this rating for shock duty, and the static C0 must be checked against any mounting or lifting loads.
• At 1940 g (1.9 kg), 6022 needs mechanical handling for mounting; NSK recommends induction heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) rather than pressing cold, and a lifting eye if the housing is pre-assembled.
• The 110×170×28 mm envelope of 6022 gives a D/d ratio of 1.55 and 30.0 mm radial section height — this NSK thin section saves space but is sensitive to misalignment and shock; confirm the housing stays round within IT7 and the shaft does not deflect past the raceway contact angle under load.
• The 93/73 kN load ratings, mass 1940 g here are NSK Rolling Bearings E1103 Part C catalogue figures for 6022VV on the 110×170×28 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6022 in a rated drive. NSK does not tabulate reference or limiting speeds in the E1103 Part C dimension tables used for this page — consult NSK's separate speed-rating tables before high-speed service.
• When replacing a failed unit, inspect the shaft and housing seats before fitting the new 6022 — a new bearing pressed onto a worn or oval seat reproduces the original failure mode in a fraction of its expected life.
• NSK's VV non-contact seal keeps frictional torque close to the open 6022; in motor duty where heat build-up matters, VV is the usual compromise between debris protection and speed capability.
