Cross references & equivalents
| Equivalent model | Brand | Match level | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4209-ATN9 | SKF | partial Main dimensions match; tolerances, seals or internal clearance differ. | Same 45×85×23 mm envelope as SKF 4209 ATN9, but catalogue C/C0 differ (33.2/21.6 kN vs 39/36 kN) — envelope match only after a load check. |

How the 62209-2RS 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); the last two digits encode the bore: 62209 carries code 09 = 45 mm (code × 5). The envelope is 45×85×23 mm (1.772×3.346×0.906 in) with a 20.0 mm radial section height, C 33.2 kN, C0 21.6 kN and Pu 0.915 kN. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as 62209-2RS1: 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 5000 r/min, catalogue mass 510 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- material-handling equipment
- industrial fans
- compressor drives
- machine tool auxiliaries
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
- edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. 62209-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.
- Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. 62209-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.
- Contact seals make 62209-2RS slower than the open 62209 (limiting 5000 r/min) and forbid solvent washing, which destroys the lifetime grease.
- Do not pry the caps off 62209-2RS 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 85 mm housing bore cannot be aligned, move to a self-aligning bearing rather than shimming 62209-2RS.
- Do not preload 62209-2RS 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 62209-2RS?
The SKF 62209-2RS1 measures 45 mm bore × 85 mm OD × 23 mm width (1.772 × 3.346 × 0.906 in), mass about 510 g. It has two contact rubber seals and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 62209 work?
The final two digits of 62209 are bore code 09, multiplied by 5 to give 45 mm.
What is the difference between 62209-2RS and a same-bore 62-series bearing?
Section height differs: 62209-2RS has a 20 mm radial section and C 33.2 kN; always match d, D and B — same bore alone never makes two bearings interchangeable.
Which fits should I use for 62209-2RS?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly k5 on the shaft and H7 in the 85 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
