How the 6200-2RS-FAG model number is decoded

6200-2RS is closed by two contacting elastomer lips over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add friction, so the speed ceiling sits below the open execution. Within the light 62xx section (diameter series 2 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 10 by five gives the 10 mm bore; the 30 mm outside diameter and 9 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 10 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a j5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. Schaeffler HR 1 catalogues the lip-contact sealed version as 6200-C-2HRS (FAG suffix 2RSR), 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.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Interference on a 10 mm shaft plus running heat consumes radial clearance: where the shaft runs hot or the fit is tight, order 6200 with C3 clearance and re-check the residual value after mounting.
• The 62xx light series is the default general-purpose section at 10 mm bore; before upgrading to a 6310 for extra capacity, confirm the housing accepts a 30 mm OD and 9 mm width — it is not a drop-in swap.
• Heat is the enemy of the sealed 6200-2RS: 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 6200-2RS-FAG in solvent or press it home via the outer ring; solvent destroys the grease thickener and mounting force through the seal deforms the lip.
• A 10 mm bore listing showing the right d/D/B but no standard or precision-class reference may be a loose-tolerance import; measure bore/OD spread before fitting it to a machined shaft.
• Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 30 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 6200-2RS-FAG.
• Schaeffler HR 1 lists the lip-contact sealed version as 6200-C-2HRS (FAG suffix 2RSR), 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. FAG's RSR lip material is NBR as standard — above roughly 100 °C continuous, consult Schaeffler for higher-temperature seal options.
• The 26000 r/min mechanical limiting speed puts 6200 at the top of the HR 1 deep-groove speed range; at these speeds cage design and grease shear dominate — run open with oil-mist or air-over-oil lubrication and verify the thermal reference speed for the actual load before committing.
• At 10 mm bore the 6200 sits in Schaeffler's miniature range; HR 1 ships these sizes with a pressed steel or plastic cage and P0 tolerance as standard — for instrument or spindle accuracy order the P6/P5 variant explicitly, since P0 runout figures will not hold.
• FAG rates 6200 at 7 kN dynamic (C) and 2.6 kN static (C0); this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C for conveying or gearbox duty with shock.
• At only 30 g, 6200 is a lightweight FAG bearing that can be handled by hand; still press it onto the shaft with a sleeve against the inner ring — never through the balls or outer ring.
• The 10×30×9 mm envelope of 6200 gives a D/d ratio of 3.00 and 10.0 mm radial section height — a heavy FAG section for high-load, lower-speed duty; specifying it in a high-rpm motor generates excess heat and shortens grease life, so prefer a 62/63-series there.
• The 7/2.6 kN load ratings, mass 30 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 6200-C-2HRS on the 10×30×9 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6200 in a rated drive. Where FAG has since released an X-life version of this size, its expanded C/C0 ratings supersede the HR 1 print values quoted here.
• FAG sealed units arrive greased for life with a lithium-soap fill; Schaeffler quotes a shelf life for greased bearings and recommends running stock first-in-first-out rather than re-greasing aged sealed units.
• Mixing old and new FAG generations of the same designation in one arrangement is dimensionally acceptable, but where ratings matter — preloaded or matched sets — order both positions from the same generation and lot.
