How the 6207-2RS-FAG model number is decoded

In the 6200-series (diameter series 2 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 6207 carries bore code 07 = 35 mm. Outside diameter 72 mm and width 17 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. Suffix -2RS denotes two contact-type elastomer seals over a lifetime grease fill; the sealing lips add drag compared with open or shielded versions. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. Schaeffler HR 1 catalogues the lip-contact sealed version as 6207-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

• At a 35 mm bore, a shaft-seat burr or an overtight setscrew can score the thin inner ring of 6207-2RS-FAG; check shaft finish and runout (target Ra ≤ 1.6 µm) before pressing it home.
• The 62xx light series is the default general-purpose section at 35 mm bore; before upgrading to a 6307 for extra capacity, confirm the housing accepts a 72 mm OD and 17 mm width — it is not a drop-in swap.
• Contact seals add drag and heat: 6207-2RS-FAG runs slower and cooler-limited than the open 6207; rubber lips are generally limited to roughly 80–110 °C continuous depending on grease, and C3 clearance is the common hot-duty choice.
• Heat is the enemy of the sealed 6207-2RS: 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.
• Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 17 mm-wide ring seats square; provide an undercut or withdrawal groove instead of relying on an oversized radius.
• Measure the shaft, do not trust the drawing: a 35 mm nominal journal worn by even 0.02 mm turns an interference seat into a creeping fit that frets the bore of 6207-2RS-FAG.
• Schaeffler HR 1 lists the lip-contact sealed version as 6207-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.
• At 8600 r/min mechanical limiting speed, 6207 covers general-purpose motor and pump duty; keep grease fill at 25–35% of free volume and verify the housing can dissipate the frictional heat at the thermal reference speed.
• The 35 mm bore puts 6207 in Schaeffler's general-purpose industrial range; the standard cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, and FAG's X-life generation of these sizes carries higher ratings than legacy HR 1 printings — check the current eKatalog listing before reordering.
• At 28 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 15.4 kN static (C0), 6207 is a medium-load FAG bearing for most electric-motor and pump duty; check the static safety factor against C0 for preloaded or thrust-loaded arrangements.
• At 280 g, 6207 requires a soft-jaw vise or arbor press for mounting — never hammer it onto the shaft, and support the opposite ring to avoid brinelling the raceways.
• The 35×72×17 mm envelope of 6207 gives a D/d ratio of 2.06 and 18.5 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 28/15.4 kN load ratings, mass 280 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 6207-C-2HRS on the 35×72×17 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6207 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.
• Schaeffler's medias/eKatalog is the live source for the current execution of 6207: cage material, seal lip design and ratings can be revised between catalogue generations without any designation change.
• Schaeffler has moved many HR 1 sizes to the X-life generation with higher C/C0 ratings; the designation is unchanged, so a current eKatalog listing for 6207 may quote higher values than the HR 1 print figures on this page — the envelope is identical either way.
