How the 61932-2RS-NTN model number is decoded

In the 61900-series (diameter series 9 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 61932 carries bore code 32 = 160 mm. Outside diameter 220 mm and width 28 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 160 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. NTN's contact-seal catalogue number is 6932LLU (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

• Mount this 160 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
• The 619xx thin section at 160 mm bore (30.0 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 61932-2RS: 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 61932-2RS-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.
• Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 220 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 61932-2RS-NTN.
• Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 61932-2RS-NTN-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
• NTN catalogues the contact-sealed version as 6932LLU (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 160 mm bore places 61932 at the lower end of NTN's large-size range; at these diameters the pressed-steel cage is speed-limited and NTN commonly supplies a machined brass cage (suffix M) as an option. Verify cage material and relubrication interval with the NTN distributor, and do not extrapolate small-bore speed ratings to this size.
• NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 1600 r/min for 61932; this is a large or heavy-section size where centrifugal force and cage inertia cap the speed — for higher shaft speeds either step to a smaller bearing on the same bore or consult NTN for an oil-lubricated, machined-cage variant.
• At 96.5 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 96 kN static (C0), 4.65 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 61932 is a heavy-load bearing for industrial gearboxes and large conveyors; NTN expects a machined brass cage (suffix M) at this rating for shock duty, and the static C0 must be checked against any mounting or lifting loads.
• At 2610 g (2.6 kg), 61932 needs mechanical handling for mounting; NTN recommends induction heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) rather than pressing cold, and a lifting eye if the housing is pre-assembled.
• The 160×220×28 mm envelope of 61932 gives a D/d ratio of 1.38 and only 30.0 mm radial section height — this is an ultra-thin section where shaft deflection and housing ovality directly load the ball-raceway contact; verify shaft stiffness (target deflection under 0.05 mm) before specifying it over a 62-series.
• The 96.5/96 kN load ratings, 4.65 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 1600 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 2610 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6932LLU on the 160×220×28 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61932 in a rated drive.
• Two NTN bearings of the same designation from different production lots can carry minor internal-geometry revisions; for paired or preloaded arrangements on one shaft, order a single lot through the NTN distributor.
• Standard catalogue stock of 61932 is the general-purpose execution; for low-noise motor duty NTN offers low-torque seal and special-grease variants in this size class, which are separate order numbers.
