How the 628-RSR model number is decoded
In the 62800-series, the final digit is the bore in millimetres: 628 fits a 8 mm shaft (direct-number miniature spelling). The envelope is 8×24×8 mm (0.315×0.945×0.315 in) with a 8.0 mm radial section height, C 3.9 kN, C0 1.66 kN and Pu 0.071 kN. SKF lists this as 628-2RZ with a low-friction non-contact seal (2RSL/2RZ spelling): it runs near open-bearing speed with less drag than a contact seal but is not liquid-tight. Limiting speed 32000 r/min, catalogue mass 17 g. A thin section saves space but leaves little margin for misalignment or shaft deflection.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- fractional-horsepower motors
- small fans and blowers
- hand-held power tools
- domestic appliances
Known failure patterns
- fine dust or moisture passing the low-friction non-contact lip in dirty or wet duty
- grease loss past the low-drag seal when no regreasing schedule is kept
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without shaft grounding
- edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving 628-RSR home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
- Catalogue ratings for 628-RSR (C 3.9 kN, C0 1.66 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.
- The low-friction seal on 628-RSR saves drag versus a contact lip but is not liquid-tight; wet or chemically aggressive positions need the 2RS version.
- Do not pry the caps off 628-RSR to repack it; shield/seal damage leaves a gap that throws grease and admits dirt.
- At 8 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 628-RSR (C 3.9 kN, C0 1.66 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 628-RSR?
The SKF 628-2RZ measures 8 mm bore × 24 mm OD × 8 mm width (0.315 × 0.945 × 0.315 in), mass about 17 g. It has two low-friction non-contact rubber seals.
How do I read the 628 designation?
Small miniature bearings print the bore as the final digit, so 628 is a 8 mm bearing; the series digits in front give the section (OD/width family).
What load can 628-RSR take?
Catalogue values for 628-2RZ: dynamic C 3.9 kN, static C0 1.66 kN, fatigue limit Pu 0.071 kN. Use C in life calculation and C0 for static checks at 8 mm bore.
What is the speed rating of 628-RSR?
SKF lists a 63000 r/min thermal reference speed and a 32000 r/min mechanical limiting speed for 628-2RZ; real limits also depend on lubrication and fits.
