How the 2200 model number is decoded
In the 2200-series (ISO 15 dimension series) the leading digits 22 mark a double-row self-aligning ball bearing and the last two digits encode the bore: 2200 carries bore code 00 = 10 mm. Codes 00–03 follow the 10/12/15/17 mm exception table rather than code × 5. Outside diameter 30 mm and width 14 mm follow the ISO 15 general plan. The cylindrical bore fits directly on a machined shaft seat; a tapered-bore K variant is available for adapter-sleeve mounting. Two rows of balls run on a common sphered outer raceway, allowing the inner ring to pivot and compensate for shaft deflection or housing misalignment.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- garden equipment and light machinery
- instrument and office machine drives
- small electric motor and fan shafts
- domestic appliance drive shafts
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear from dust and dirt ingress through the open arrangement
- lubricant starvation when no regreasing interval is maintained
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft is stationary
- edge loading and stress concentration from excessive misalignment beyond the allowable angle
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Bore codes 00–03 use the exception table: 2200 fits a 10 mm shaft — the code × 5 mnemonic does not apply below code 04 (it would imply 0 mm for code 00).
- The 22xx wide-section at 10 mm bore adds load capacity through increased 14 mm width; the wider ring needs a wider housing seat and may reduce limiting speed versus a 1200.
- The open 2200 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 10×30×14 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
- Open bearings tolerate the highest speeds in the 2200-series but need a defined regreasing interval; run-to-failure lubrication is the dominant cause of early failure in open 2200 units.
- Self-aligning ball bearings have lower axial load capacity than same-size angular-contact or tapered-roller bearings; verify the axial component is within the Y-factor limits for 2200.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 2200 self-aligning ball bearing?
A 2200 self-aligning ball bearing has a 10 mm bore, 30 mm outer diameter and 14 mm width, per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. This is the cylindrical-bore version; a tapered-bore K variant is available for adapter-sleeve mounting.
Why does 2200 not follow the bore-code × 5 rule?
Codes 00–03 use the exception table (10, 12, 15 and 17 mm): 2200 with code 00 has a 10 mm bore. The code × 5 convention starts at code 04 (20 mm).
What does the open suffix mean on 2200?
A bare 2200 designation means open: no shields or seals, normal CN radial clearance and P0 normal tolerance unless further suffixes are ordered. The application must supply and retain the lubrication.
How does the 2200 compare with other self-aligning series at the same 10 mm bore?
The 22xx is the wide light section: 30×14 mm with a 10.0 mm radial section at 10 mm bore, wider than a 1200 for higher load capacity at the cost of speed.
