How the 61807-RSR model number is decoded

61807-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-thin 618xx section (diameter series 8 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 07 by five gives the 35 mm bore; the 47 mm outside diameter and 7 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a k5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. SKF's low-friction seal suffix is 2RSL/2RZ (this page's industry-neutral spelling is -RSR); catalogue number 61807-2RZ.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• A 35 mm shaft for 61807 should be finished to Ra ≤ 1.6 µm with square seating faces; at this bore a scored or oval journal shows up directly as running noise and early raceway damage.
• Only 6.0 mm of radial section separates bore and OD on the 618xx series at 35 mm: ring flex from clamping or an oval housing bore transfers straight into raceway stress, so seat roundness matters more here than on a 6207.
• The low-drag lip of 61807-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.
• The non-contact lip of 61807-RSR does not retain a lifetime grease fill the way a contact seal does; confirm the regreasing interval for the 35 mm bore position before relying on it as sealed-for-life.
• Measure the shaft, do not trust the drawing: a 35 mm nominal journal worn by even 0.02 mm turns an interference seat into a creeping fit that frets the bore of 61807-RSR.
• A 35 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.
• SKF catalogues the low-friction seal as 61807-2RZ (suffix -2RSL or -2RZ): a non-contact elastomer lip that runs near the open 15000 r/min limiting speed, closer to the open bearing's 30000 r/min reference than the contact-seal version. It keeps coarse debris out without the drag of a contact seal, but is not liquid-tight — use 2RSH for wet or fine-dust positions.
• The 4.36/3.35 kN ratings here are SKF Explorer-class figures from catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000/1 EN (Oct 2018); SKF can revise internal geometry and ratings without changing the designation, so treat the catalogue version and date as part of the specification and re-verify for critical drives.
