How the W61807-2RS model number is decoded
The W prefix denotes SKF stainless steel deep-groove bearings (X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class rings). In the 61800-series, the last two digits encode the bore: 61807 carries code 07 = 35 mm (code × 5). Envelope 35×47×7 mm (1.378×1.85×0.276 in), C 3.71 kN, C0 3.35 kN, Pu 0.14 kN; limiting speed 8500 r/min and mass 30 g. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as W 61807-2RS1: two contact elastomer lips (2RS1/2RSH spelling) over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add drag, and no reference (thermal) speed is published. Stainless is chosen for corrosion and washdown duty, not for extra load — the same-envelope chrome-steel bearing rates higher.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- chemical and marine atmospheres
- medical and laboratory devices
- small pumps handling corrosive media
- bicycle and outdoor equipment
Known failure patterns
- surface staining and pitting when even the stainless steel is left unlubricated in salty or acidic duty
- seal and grease failure before the rings corrode in sustained washdown service
- contact-seal lip hardening and pre-grease loss after long high-temperature service
- grease-life expiry inside the sealed-for-life cavity, which has no relubrication path
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Corrosion resistance depends on clean, undamaged surfaces: never weld near W61807-2RS or scratch the raceways during mounting, since the damaged spot starts corrosion.
- Temperatures above roughly 300 °C temper the stainless races; even standard greases fail far earlier — keep W61807-2RS inside the quoted grease temperature range.
- W-prefix stainless rings (X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class) resist moisture and weak chemicals but will still rust in chloride-rich or salt-spray duty without protection — W61807-2RS is not marine-grade stainless.
- The stainless steel is martensitic and MAGNETIC; do not reject W61807-2RS over magnetism — only austenitic grades are non-magnetic, and those are too soft for bearing raceways.
- Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. W 61807-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.
- Assign interference to the rotating ring: on a conventional shaft-mounted 35 mm position the inner ring rotates, so use a k5/m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing — reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the stainless W61807-2RS?
SKF W 61807-2RS1 measures 35×47×7 mm (1.378×1.85×0.276 in), about 30 g, C 3.71 kN.
What does the W in W 61807-2RS1 mean?
W is the SKF prefix for stainless steel deep-groove bearings (rings in X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class); the rest of the designation follows the normal series and bore rules.
Where is W61807-2RS typically used?
Food and packaging machines, pharmaceutical equipment, washdown conveyors, chemical and marine-atmosphere drives and appliances exposed to moisture.
What grease is supplied in W61807-2RS?
Sealed units are pre-greased for life; for food or pharmaceutical duty order (or re-grease before service) with an NSF H1 registered food-grade grease.
