How the 62-22-2RS model number is decoded

In the large-bore 6200-series, the bore is written directly after the slash as 22 mm (large thin-section bores use the slash spelling instead of the two-digit code). The envelope is 22×50×14 mm (0.866×1.969×0.551 in) with a 14.0 mm radial section height, C 14 kN, C0 7.65 kN and Pu 0.325 kN. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as 62/22-2RS1: two contact elastomer lips (2RS1/2RSH spelling) over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add drag, and no reference (thermal) speed is published. Limiting speed 9000 r/min, catalogue mass 120 g.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • centrifugal pumps
  • small gearboxes
  • conveyor drives
  • fans and blowers

Known failure patterns

  • 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
  • brinelling from static overload or hammer blows during mounting
  • false brinelling from vibration while the shaft stands idle

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • The fatigue load limit is 0.325 kN; it feeds the equivalent-mean-load check, not the basic life calculation — do not substitute one for the other.
  • Deep-groove geometry tolerates only minutes of misalignment; if the 50 mm housing bore cannot be aligned, move to a self-aligning bearing rather than shimming 62-22-2RS.
  • Contact seals make 62-22-2RS slower than the open 62/22 (limiting 9000 r/min) and forbid solvent washing, which destroys the lifetime grease.
  • Do not pry the caps off 62-22-2RS to repack it; shield/seal damage leaves a gap that throws grease and admits dirt.
  • Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving 62-22-2RS home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
  • The fatigue load limit is 0.325 kN; it feeds the equivalent-mean-load check, not the basic life calculation — do not substitute one for the other.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of 62-22-2RS?

The SKF 62/22-2RS1 measures 22 mm bore × 50 mm OD × 14 mm width (0.866 × 1.969 × 0.551 in), mass about 120 g. It has two contact rubber seals and a lifetime grease fill.

Why is there a slash in the designation 62/22-2RS1?

The slash writes a bore that falls outside the two-digit code table: 62/22 means 22 mm bore. The site slug 62-22-2RS replaces the slash with a hyphen.

What is the difference between 62-22-2RS and a same-bore 62-series bearing?

Section height differs: 62-22-2RS has a 14 mm radial section and C 14 kN; always match d, D and B — same bore alone never makes two bearings interchangeable.

Which fits should I use for 62-22-2RS?

With a rotating inner ring use roughly k5 on the shaft and H7 in the 50 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
