How the 61907-RSR model number is decoded
In the 61900-series (ISO 15 diameter series 9) 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 -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 35 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- packaging machinery
- space-constrained gearboxes
- clutch and transmission assemblies
- robotics and automation joints
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
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without grounding protection
- raceway smearing under marginal lubrication at start-up
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-RSR; check shaft finish and runout (target Ra ≤ 1.6 µm) before pressing it home.
- The 619xx thin section (10.0 mm section height at 35 mm bore) trades load capacity for compactness; stiff, accurately aligned seats are essential or edge loading will spall the raceway early.
- RSR low-friction seals on 61907-RSR run faster than contact-seal 61907-2RS but let fine dust and moisture past the non-contact lip; in dirty or wet duty specify 61907-2RS instead.
- The non-contact lip of 61907-RSR does not retain a lifetime grease fill the way a contact seal does; confirm the regreasing interval for the 35 mm bore position before relying on it as sealed-for-life.
- 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.
- SKF catalogues the low-friction seal as 61907-2RZ (suffix -2RSL or -2RZ): a non-contact elastomer lip that runs near the open 13000 r/min limiting speed, closer to the open bearing's 26000 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 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-RSR bearing?
A 61907-RSR 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 low-friction non-contact rubber seals.
How does the 61907 bore code work?
The last two digits of 61907 are bore code 07, giving 07 × 5 = 35 mm bore. The 55 mm outside diameter and 10 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does the RSR suffix on 61907-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 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.
What is the SKF designation and catalogue data for 61907-RSR?
In the SKF Rolling Bearings catalogue this size is listed as 61907-2RZ — two low-friction non-contact elastomer seals, 35×55×10 mm per ISO 15. Quoted values: C 10.8 kN, C0 7.8 kN, Pu 0.325 kN, limiting speed 13000 r/min, mass 80 g. Brand suffixes (2Z, 2RSH, 2RSL) differ from the industry-neutral spelling 61907-RSR.
