How the 6200-RSR model number is decoded

6200-RSR uses two non-contact elastomer lips with very low drag; coarse debris stays out, but the bearing is not liquid-tight. Within the light 62xx section (diameter series 2 of ISO 15), its bore code 00 comes from the 10/12/15/17 mm exception table, giving a 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. SKF's low-friction seal suffix is 2RSL/2RZ (this page's industry-neutral spelling is -RSR); catalogue number 6200-2RSL.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Codes 00–03 are the exception series: 6200 takes its 10 mm bore from the 10/12/15/17 mm table, so two designations only a few millimetres apart can read alike on paper — order by measured shaft size, not by code arithmetic.
• At 10 mm bore the 62xx light series is the workhorse section; its 30×9 mm envelope is what most motor and gearbox seats are machined for, so any alternative section must be checked against both this OD and this width, not the bore alone.
• RSR low-friction seals on 6200-RSR run faster than contact-seal 6200-2RS but let fine dust and moisture past the non-contact lip; in dirty or wet duty specify 6200-2RS instead.
• The non-contact lip of 6200-RSR does not retain a lifetime grease fill the way a contact seal does; confirm the regreasing interval for the 10 mm bore position before relying on it as sealed-for-life.
• Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 9 mm-wide ring seats square; provide an undercut or withdrawal groove instead of relying on an oversized radius.
• 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.
• SKF catalogues the low-friction seal as 6200-2RSL (suffix -2RSL or -2RZ): a non-contact elastomer lip that runs near the open 28000 r/min limiting speed, closer to the open bearing's 56000 r/min reference than the contact-seal version. It keeps coarse debris out without the drag of a contact seal, but is not liquid-tight — use 2RSH for wet or fine-dust positions.
• The 5.4/2.36 kN ratings here are SKF Explorer-class figures from catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000/1 EN (Oct 2018); SKF can revise internal geometry and ratings without changing the designation, so treat the catalogue version and date as part of the specification and re-verify for critical drives.
