Cross references & equivalents
| Equivalent model | Brand | Match level | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4212-ATN9 | SKF | partial Main dimensions match; tolerances, seals or internal clearance differ. | Same 60×110×28 mm envelope as SKF 4212 ATN9, but catalogue C/C0 differ (52.7/36 kN vs 57.2/55 kN) — envelope match only after a load check. |

How the 62212-2RS 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: 62212 carries code 12 = 60 mm (code × 5). The envelope is 60×110×28 mm (2.362×4.331×1.102 in) with a 25.0 mm radial section height, C 52.7 kN, C0 36 kN and Pu 1.53 kN. SKF catalogues the sealed execution as 62212-2RS1: 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 4000 r/min, catalogue mass 1000 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
- 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 62212-2RS home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
- Do not preload 62212-2RS to silence it: a deep-groove ball bearing is not angular-contact, and axial preload only raises temperature and shortens grease life.
- Contact seals make 62212-2RS slower than the open 62212 (limiting 4000 r/min) and forbid solvent washing, which destroys the lifetime grease.
- Do not pry the caps off 62212-2RS to repack it; shield/seal damage leaves a gap that throws grease and admits dirt.
- At 60 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.
- Catalogue ratings for 62212-2RS (C 52.7 kN, C0 36 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 62212-2RS?
The SKF 62212-2RS1 measures 60 mm bore × 110 mm OD × 28 mm width (2.362 × 4.331 × 1.102 in), mass about 1000 g. It has two contact rubber seals and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 62212 work?
The final two digits of 62212 are bore code 12, multiplied by 5 to give 60 mm.
What load can 62212-2RS take?
Catalogue values for 62212-2RS1: dynamic C 52.7 kN, static C0 36 kN, fatigue limit Pu 1.53 kN. Use C in life calculation and C0 for static checks at 60 mm bore.
What is the speed rating of 62212-2RS?
SKF publishes only the 4000 r/min limiting speed for this execution; sealed variants have no thermal reference speed because seal and grease life govern.
