How the 61822-RSR model number is decoded
In the 61800-series (ISO 15 diameter series 8) the last two digits encode the bore: 61822 carries bore code 22 = 110 mm. Outside diameter 140 mm and width 16 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. Suffix -RSR denotes two low-friction non-contact elastomer seals; they keep coarse debris out with minimal drag but are not liquid-tight. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 110 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- space-constrained gearboxes
- clutch and transmission assemblies
- robotics and automation joints
- lay shafts and idler shafts
Known failure patterns
- ingress of fine dust or moisture past the non-contact lip in dirty or wet duty (RSR is not liquid-tight)
- lip-lubricant starvation if the bearing runs dry for extended periods
- fretting corrosion on a loose shaft seat
- cage damage from operation beyond the limiting speed
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 618xx thin section at 110 mm bore has only a 15.0 mm radial section height: it saves space but is highly sensitive to misalignment, shaft deflection and shock loads — verify shaft stiffness before choosing it over a 6222.
- RSR low-friction seals on 61822-RSR run faster than contact-seal 61822-2RS but let fine dust and moisture past the non-contact lip; in dirty or wet duty specify 61822-2RS instead.
- The non-contact lip of 61822-RSR does not retain a lifetime grease fill the way a contact seal does; confirm the regreasing interval for the 110 mm bore position before relying on it as sealed-for-life.
- Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 140 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 61822-RSR.
- SKF catalogues the low-friction seal as 61822-2RZ (suffix -2RSL or -2RZ): a non-contact elastomer lip that runs near the open 4500 r/min limiting speed, closer to the open bearing's 9500 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 28.1/26 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 61822-RSR bearing?
A 61822-RSR deep-groove ball bearing has a 110 mm bore, 140 mm outer diameter and 16 mm width (4.331 × 5.512 × 0.63 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is fitted with two low-friction non-contact rubber seals.
How does the 61822 bore code work?
The last two digits of 61822 are bore code 22, giving 22 × 5 = 110 mm bore. The 140 mm outside diameter and 16 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does the RSR suffix on 61822-RSR mean?
RSR means two low-friction non-contact rubber seals. They keep coarse debris out with minimal drag (speed close to the open bearing) but are not liquid-tight; use -2RS contact seals for wet or fine-dust environments.
How does the 61800 compare with other series at the same 110 mm bore?
618 is an extra-thin section: 140×16 mm, only 15.0 mm radial section at 110 mm bore, far smaller than a 6222, for space-limited layouts at the cost of load rating and misalignment tolerance.
What is the SKF designation and catalogue data for 61822-RSR?
In the SKF Rolling Bearings catalogue this size is listed as 61822-2RZ — two low-friction non-contact elastomer seals, 110×140×16 mm per ISO 15. Quoted values: C 28.1 kN, C0 26 kN, Pu 1.25 kN, limiting speed 4500 r/min, mass 600 g. Brand suffixes (2Z, 2RSH, 2RSL) differ from the industry-neutral spelling 61822-RSR.
