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

In the 61900-series (diameter series 9 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 61907 carries bore code 07 = 35 mm. Outside diameter 55 mm and width 10 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. Suffix -2RS denotes two contact-type elastomer seals over a lifetime grease fill; the sealing lips add drag compared with open or shielded versions. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. NTN's contact-seal catalogue number is 6907LLU (suffix LLU, or LLH low-torque variant), mapped here from the industry-neutral -2RS spelling; the contacting lip lowers the speed ceiling versus the open bearing.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• At a 35 mm bore, a shaft-seat burr or an overtight setscrew can score the thin inner ring of 61907-2RS-NTN; check shaft finish and runout (target Ra ≤ 1.6 µm) before pressing it home.
• 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-NTN 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.
• Never wash a sealed 61907-2RS-NTN in solvent or press it home via the outer ring; solvent destroys the grease thickener and mounting force through the seal deforms the lip.
• 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.
• Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 61907-2RS-NTN-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
• NTN catalogues the contact-sealed version as 6907LLU (suffix LU), 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.
• The 35 mm bore puts 61907 in NTN's general-purpose industrial range; the standard pressed-steel cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, but for continuous high-speed use specify the LLH low-torque seal (not LLU) and confirm the housing allows the listed limiting speed.
• At 7100 r/min the grease limiting speed for 61907 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the contact seal (LLU) is the main speed limiter here — for continuous operation above 80% of this figure use the open variant with an external labyrinth seal and oil bath.
• NTN rates 61907 at 10.6 kN dynamic (C) and 6.85 kN static (C0), 0.49 kN fatigue load limit Cu; this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — for conveying or gearbox duty with shock loads, verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C.
• At 74 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 — this 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 10.6/6.85 kN load ratings, 0.49 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 7100 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 74 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6907LLU 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.
• Factory-fill grease in NTN sealed units is a general-duty lithium-soap grease; food-grade, low-temperature and high-temperature fills are request options at order time, because LLU/LLB units are not meant to be opened and re-greased in the field.
• NTN date-codes its packaging; rotate stock first-in-first-out, because the grease inside sealed units ages on the shelf — after three to five years of storage, check the grease condition before putting the bearing into service.
