How the 6307-RSR model number is decoded

In the 6300-series (diameter series 3 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 6307 carries bore code 07 = 35 mm. Outside diameter 80 mm and width 21 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. Suffix -RSR denotes two low-friction non-contact elastomer seals; they keep coarse debris out with minimal drag but are not liquid-tight. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. NSK's non-contact seal suffix is VV (catalogue number 6307VV), mapped here from the industry-neutral -RSR spelling; speed capability is close to the open bearing but VV is not liquid-tight.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• A 35 mm shaft for 6307 should be finished to Ra ≤ 1.6 µm with square seating faces; at this bore a scored or oval journal shows up directly as running noise and early raceway damage.
• The 63xx medium series gains rating at 35 mm bore through a 80 mm OD and 21 mm width; the heavier rolling elements also trade away some speed versus a 6207.
• RSR low-friction seals on 6307-RSR run faster than contact-seal 6307-2RS but let fine dust and moisture past the non-contact lip; in dirty or wet duty specify 6307-2RS instead.
• The low-drag lip of 6307-RSR barely touches the inner ring; after long shelf storage the grease can separate, so rotate the rings by hand and confirm smooth, silent running before fitting.
• Assign fits by which ring rotates: an interference shaft fit for a rotating inner ring; if the outer ring rotates instead, reverse the logic — a loose rotating ring creeps and frets its seat.
• Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 80 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 6307-RSR.
• NSK catalogues this low-friction non-contact seal as 6307VV (suffix VV), mapped here from the industry-neutral -RSR spelling. NSK rates its speed capability close to the open bearing, but VV is not liquid-tight — for wet or fine-dust duty step up to the DDU contact seal (industry-neutral -2RS).
• The 35 mm bore puts 6307 in NSK's general-purpose industrial range; the standard pressed-steel cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty. NSK's VV non-contact seal is the high-speed choice here — DDU contact seal costs roughly 30–40% of the open-bearing speed ceiling.
• NSK rates 6307 at 36.5 kN dynamic (C) and 19.2 kN static (C0); this upper-medium rating covers conveyor and gearbox drives, but at these loads the pressed-steel cage can be the limiting factor under shock — consider the machined brass cage (suffix M) for impact duty.
• At 464 g, 6307 requires a soft-jaw vise or arbor press for mounting — never hammer it onto the shaft, and support the opposite ring to avoid brinelling the raceways.
• The 35×80×21 mm envelope of 6307 gives a D/d ratio of 2.29 and 22.5 mm radial section height — a heavy NSK section built for high-load, lower-speed duty; specifying it in a high-rpm motor generates excess heat and shortens grease life, so prefer a 62/63-series there.
• The 36.5/19.2 kN load ratings, mass 464 g here are NSK Rolling Bearings E1103 Part C catalogue figures for 6307VV on the 35×80×21 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6307 in a rated drive. NSK does not tabulate reference or limiting speeds in the E1103 Part C dimension tables used for this page — consult NSK's separate speed-rating tables before high-speed service.
• When replacing a failed unit, inspect the shaft and housing seats before fitting the new 6307 — a new bearing pressed onto a worn or oval seat reproduces the original failure mode in a fraction of its expected life.
• NSK supplies its sealed units pre-greased for general duty between roughly -10 and +110 °C; low-temperature, food-grade and high-temperature fills are special executions — ask at order time, because DDU/VV units are not designed to be opened and repacked.
