How the 61907-2RS-FAG model number is decoded

61907-2RS is closed by two contacting elastomer lips over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add friction, so the speed ceiling sits below the open execution. Within the thin 619xx section (diameter series 9 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 07 by five gives the 35 mm bore; the 55 mm outside diameter and 10 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. Schaeffler HR 1 catalogues the lip-contact sealed version as 61907-2RSR (FAG suffix 2RSR), mapped here from the industry-neutral -2RS spelling; it is greased for life and the contacting lip lowers the speed ceiling versus the open bearing.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Sizes around 35 mm bore are normally pressed on cold with a sleeve against the inner-ring face; the press force must never route through the outer ring or the balls of 61907-2RS-FAG.
• The 619xx thin section at 35 mm bore (10.0 mm section height) cannot shrug off the misalignment a standard section tolerates; keep the housing bores round and aligned, or edge contact will spall the raceways early.
• Contact seals add drag and heat: 61907-2RS-FAG runs slower and cooler-limited than the open 61907; rubber lips are generally limited to roughly 80–110 °C continuous depending on grease, and C3 clearance is the common hot-duty choice.
• Heat is the enemy of the sealed 61907-2RS: sustained running near the lip temperature limit hardens the rubber, after which grease escapes and dirt tracks in — watch the housing temperature in hot drives.
• Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 10 mm-wide ring seats square; provide an undercut or withdrawal groove instead of relying on an oversized radius.
• Axial location must clamp the ring face, not the seal area: a shoulder or circlip bearing on the seal side of the 10 mm-wide ring of 61907-2RS-FAG drags the lip and overheats it.
• Schaeffler HR 1 lists the lip-contact sealed version as 61907-2RSR (FAG suffix 2RSR), mapped here from the industry-neutral -2RS spelling; it is greased for life and the contacting lip lowers the speed ceiling versus the open bearing. FAG's RSR lip material is NBR as standard — above roughly 100 °C continuous, consult Schaeffler for higher-temperature seal options.
• At 6300 r/min mechanical limiting speed, 61907 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the 2RSR lip-contact seal is the practical speed limiter — for continuous operation near the ceiling use the open or 2RZ variant with external housing sealing.
• The 35 mm bore puts 61907 in Schaeffler's general-purpose industrial range; the standard cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, and FAG's X-life generation of these sizes carries higher ratings than legacy HR 1 printings — check the current eKatalog listing before reordering.
• FAG rates 61907 at 10.9 kN dynamic (C) and 7.75 kN static (C0); this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C for conveying or gearbox duty with shock.
• At 76 g, 61907 is light enough for hand assembly but should be pressed on with a fitting sleeve against the inner ring; do not strike the outer ring or cage with a hammer.
• The 35×55×10 mm envelope of 61907 gives a D/d ratio of 1.57 and 10.0 mm radial section height — a thin FAG section that saves space but is sensitive to misalignment and shock; keep the housing round within IT7 and the shaft deflection below the raceway contact envelope.
• The 10.9/7.75 kN load ratings, mass 76 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 61907-2RSR on the 35×55×10 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61907 in a rated drive. Where FAG has since released an X-life version of this size, its expanded C/C0 ratings supersede the HR 1 print values quoted here.
• FAG standard tolerance for this size is P0 (PN); P6/P5 precision executions exist for spindle-adjacent duty but carry different order numbers in the Schaeffler system — they are not a selectable sorting of standard stock.
• Mixing old and new FAG generations of the same designation in one arrangement is dimensionally acceptable, but where ratings matter — preloaded or matched sets — order both positions from the same generation and lot.
