How the 62-22 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. The open 62/22 carries no shields or seals and relies on application lubrication and external sealing. Limiting speed 19000 r/min, catalogue mass 120 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- centrifugal pumps
- small gearboxes
- conveyor drives
- fans and blowers
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear when the open arrangement is used without external seals
- lubricant starvation where no regreasing interval is maintained
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without shaft grounding
- edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 22 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.
- Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving 62-22 home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
- Open 62-22 needs external sealing at the arrangement level; in dusty housings its life depends entirely on those external seals and the regreasing schedule.
- Plan a relubrication interval for 62-22; run-to-failure on open deep-groove bearings is the dominant early-failure cause.
- 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.
- Fillet radii must clear the 62-22 chamfer so the 14 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 62-22?
The SKF 62/22 measures 22 mm bore × 50 mm OD × 14 mm width (0.866 × 1.969 × 0.551 in), mass about 120 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.
Why is there a slash in the designation 62/22?
The slash writes a bore that falls outside the two-digit code table: 62/22 means 22 mm bore. The site slug 62-22 replaces the slash with a hyphen.
What load can 62-22 take?
Catalogue values for 62/22: dynamic C 14 kN, static C0 7.65 kN, fatigue limit Pu 0.325 kN. Use C in life calculation and C0 for static checks at 22 mm bore.
What is the speed rating of 62-22?
SKF lists a 30000 r/min thermal reference speed and a 19000 r/min mechanical limiting speed for 62/22; real limits also depend on lubrication and fits.
