How the 61907-2RS 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. SKF's contact-seal catalogue number is 61907-2RS1 (older text: -2RS1), mapped here from the industry-neutral -2RS spelling.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- clutch and transmission assemblies
- robotics and automation joints
- lay shafts and idler shafts
- textile machinery
Known failure patterns
- seal-lip hardening and loss of pre-grease in sustained high-temperature service
- grease-life expiry in the sealed-for-life cavity (no relubrication path)
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without grounding protection
- raceway smearing under marginal lubrication at start-up
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- A 35 mm shaft for 61907 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Never wash a sealed 61907-2RS in solvent or press it home via the outer ring; solvent destroys the grease thickener and mounting force through the seal deforms the lip.
- 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 61907-2RS.
- Never mix components between two 61907-2RS units: rings, cage and balls are factory-matched and are not field-interchangeable, even between identical designations.
- SKF catalogues the contact-sealed version as 61907-2RS1 (older printings may read -2RS1); it is shipped pre-greased and its 7500 r/min limiting speed is set by seal-lip drag and grease life versus the open bearing's 26000 r/min thermal reference speed.
- The 10.8/7.8 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 61907-2RS bearing?
A 61907-2RS deep-groove ball bearing has a 35 mm bore, 55 mm outer diameter and 10 mm width (1.378 × 2.165 × 0.394 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is fitted with two contact rubber seals and is normally pre-greased.
What does the 2RS suffix on 61907-2RS mean?
2RS means two contact elastomer seals, one each side, usually over a lifetime grease fill. Sealing against dust and moisture is better than ZZ shields, but the lip drag lowers the speed and temperature ceiling.
How does the 61900 compare with other series at the same 35 mm bore?
619 is a thin section one step above 618: 55×10 mm with a 10.0 mm radial section at 35 mm bore; a 6207 on the same bore is substantially larger and more heavily rated.
Are 61907 bearings from different brands interchangeable?
For boundary dimensions, yes: every brand's 61907 uses the same ISO 15 envelope (35×55×10 mm). Load ratings, limiting speeds, clearance, precision class and sealing design can differ, so verify those in the supplier catalogue when substituting. Seal suffixes also differ by brand (2RS, DDU, LLU, 2RSL and similar).
What is the SKF designation and catalogue data for 61907-2RS?
In the SKF Rolling Bearings catalogue this size is listed as 61907-2RS1 — two contact elastomer seals over a lifetime grease fill, 35×55×10 mm per ISO 15. Quoted values: C 10.8 kN, C0 7.8 kN, Pu 0.325 kN, limiting speed 7500 r/min, mass 80 g. Brand suffixes (2Z, 2RSH, 2RSL) differ from the industry-neutral spelling 61907-2RS.
