|---|---|---|---|
| 4202-ATN9 | SKF | partial Main dimensions match; tolerances, seals or internal clearance differ. | Same 15×35×14 mm envelope as SKF 4202 ATN9, but catalogue C/C0 differ (7.8/3.75 kN vs 11.9/7.5 kN) — envelope match only after a load check. |

How the 62202-2RS model number is decoded
The 62200-series is the wide-section counterpart of the standard deep-groove family (extra width code built into the designation); bore code 02 follows the 10/12/15/17 mm exception table, so 62202 fits a 15 mm shaft. The envelope is 15×35×14 mm (0.591×1.378×0.551 in) with a 10.0 mm radial section height, C 7.8 kN, C0 3.75 kN and Pu 0.16 kN. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as 62202-2RS1: 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 13000 r/min, catalogue mass 54 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- small gearboxes
- conveyor drives
- fans and blowers
- agricultural equipment
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
- cage damage from running beyond the limiting speed
- raceway smearing under marginal lubrication at start-up
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Catalogue ratings for 62202-2RS (C 7.8 kN, C0 3.75 kN) are SKF figures from PUB BU/P1 17000; geometry revisions can change ratings without changing the designation, so keep the catalogue edition with the specification.
- Catalogue ratings for 62202-2RS (C 7.8 kN, C0 3.75 kN) are SKF figures from PUB BU/P1 17000; geometry revisions can change ratings without changing the designation, so keep the catalogue edition with the specification.
- Contact seals make 62202-2RS slower than the open 62202 (limiting 13000 r/min) and forbid solvent washing, which destroys the lifetime grease.
- Do not pry the caps off 62202-2RS to repack it; shield/seal damage leaves a gap that throws grease and admits dirt.
- Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. 62202-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.
- At 15 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 62202-2RS?
The SKF 62202-2RS1 measures 15 mm bore × 35 mm OD × 14 mm width (0.591 × 1.378 × 0.551 in), mass about 54 g. It has two contact rubber seals and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 62202 work?
Codes 00–03 follow the exception table (10, 12, 15, 17 mm): 62202 fits a 15 mm shaft. Code × 5 starts at code 04.
What is the difference between 62202-2RS and a same-bore 62-series bearing?
Section height differs: 62202-2RS has a 10 mm radial section and C 7.8 kN; always match d, D and B — same bore alone never makes two bearings interchangeable.
Which fits should I use for 62202-2RS?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly j5/k5 on the shaft and H7 in the 35 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
