How the 627-2RS model number is decoded
In the 6200-series, the final digit is the bore in millimetres: 627 fits a 7 mm shaft (direct-number miniature spelling). The envelope is 7×22×7 mm (0.276×0.866×0.276 in) with a 7.5 mm radial section height, C 3.45 kN, C0 1.37 kN and Pu 0.057 kN. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as 627-2RSH: 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 22000 r/min, catalogue mass 13 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- office equipment
- fractional-horsepower motors
- small fans and blowers
- hand-held power tools
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
- fretting corrosion on a creeping shaft or housing seat
- cage damage from running beyond the limiting speed
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving 627-2RS home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
- At 7 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.
- Contact seals make 627-2RS slower than the open 627 (limiting 22000 r/min) and forbid solvent washing, which destroys the lifetime grease.
- Do not pry the caps off 627-2RS to repack it; shield/seal damage leaves a gap that throws grease and admits dirt.
- Deep-groove geometry tolerates only minutes of misalignment; if the 22 mm housing bore cannot be aligned, move to a self-aligning bearing rather than shimming 627-2RS.
- Do not preload 627-2RS to silence it: a deep-groove ball bearing is not angular-contact, and axial preload only raises temperature and shortens grease life.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 627-2RS?
The SKF 627-2RSH measures 7 mm bore × 22 mm OD × 7 mm width (0.276 × 0.866 × 0.276 in), mass about 13 g. It has two contact rubber seals and a lifetime grease fill.
How do I read the 627 designation?
Small miniature bearings print the bore as the final digit, so 627 is a 7 mm bearing; the series digits in front give the section (OD/width family).
What is the difference between 627-2RS and a same-bore 62-series bearing?
Section height differs: 627-2RS has a 7.5 mm radial section and C 3.45 kN; always match d, D and B — same bore alone never makes two bearings interchangeable.
Which fits should I use for 627-2RS?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly j5/k5 on the shaft and H7 in the 22 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
