How the W61907-2RS model number is decoded
The W prefix denotes SKF stainless steel deep-groove bearings (X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class rings). In the 61900-series, the last two digits encode the bore: 61907 carries code 07 = 35 mm (code × 5). Envelope 35×55×10 mm (1.378×2.165×0.394 in), C 9.36 kN, C0 7.65 kN, Pu 0.325 kN; limiting speed 7500 r/min and mass 74 g. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as W 61907-2RS1: two contact elastomer lips (2RS1/2RSH spelling) over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add drag, and no reference (thermal) speed is published. Stainless is chosen for corrosion and washdown duty, not for extra load — the same-envelope chrome-steel bearing rates higher.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- food and beverage conveyors
- pharmaceutical and packaging machines
- washdown-duty equipment
- chemical and marine atmospheres
Known failure patterns
- seal and grease failure before the rings corrode in sustained washdown service
- surface staining and pitting when even the stainless steel is left unlubricated in salty or acidic duty
- contact-seal lip hardening and pre-grease loss after long high-temperature service
- grease-life expiry inside the sealed-for-life cavity, which has no relubrication path
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The stainless steel is martensitic and MAGNETIC; do not reject W61907-2RS over magnetism — only austenitic grades are non-magnetic, and those are too soft for bearing raceways.
- Stainless bearings carry lower load ratings than chrome steel of the same envelope: W61907-2RS is quoted at C 9.36 kN versus the 10 mm-wide 52100 version — do not swap on dimensions alone.
- Food, pharmaceutical and washdown positions need food-grade grease (e.g. NSF H1 registered) inside W61907-2RS; standard fill is industrial grease unless specified otherwise.
- Corrosion resistance depends on clean, undamaged surfaces: never weld near W61907-2RS or scratch the raceways during mounting, since the damaged spot starts corrosion.
- At 35 mm bore, C3 clearance is the safe choice when interference fits plus temperature rise consume the CN clearance; a hot tight bearing with no residual clearance fails fast.
- Fillet radii must clear the W61907-2RS chamfer so the 10 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the stainless W61907-2RS?
SKF W 61907-2RS1 measures 35×55×10 mm (1.378×2.165×0.394 in), about 74 g, C 9.36 kN.
What does the W in W 61907-2RS1 mean?
W is the SKF prefix for stainless steel deep-groove bearings (rings in X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class); the rest of the designation follows the normal series and bore rules.
Are W stainless bearings waterproof?
No — the stainless rings resist moisture and weak chemicals far better than 52100 chrome steel, but salt spray, strong chlorides and unlubricated washdown duty can still corrode W61907-2RS; add seals and food-grade grease for wet positions.
Can I replace a chrome-steel bearing with stainless W61907-2RS?
The envelope matches, but stainless rates lower (C 9.36 kN for W 61907-2RS1); for corrosive environments that trade-off is intended, for high loads it shortens life.
