|---|---|---|---|

How the 2205-E-2RS1KTN9 model number is decoded
The 22xx series is the wide light-section self-aligning ball bearing (ISO dimension series 22). the last two digits encode the bore: 2205 carries code 05 = 25 mm (code × 5). Envelope 25×52×18 mm (0.984×2.047×0.709 in) with a 13.5 mm radial section height, C 14.3 kN, C0 4 kN and Pu 0.21 kN. SKF spells the sealed execution 2205 E-2RS1KTN9 (suffix 2RS1): two contact elastomer lips over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add drag, and no thermal reference speed is published. The E-2RS1KTN9 suffix identifies the glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage execution. The K suffix marks a 1:12 tapered bore for direct mounting on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve. Limiting speed 9000 r/min, catalogue mass 160 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- small electric motors
- conveyor idler rollers
- agricultural machinery shafts
- textile spindles and looms
Known failure patterns
- fine dust or moisture passing a worn seal lip in dirty or wet duty
- grease loss when the sealed-for-life cavity is overheated with no relubrication path
- incorrect sleeve tightening that leaves the tapered bore loose or over-expanded, changing internal clearance
- adapter-sleeve fretting when the sleeve is not locked against the shaft shoulder
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft stands idle
- fretting corrosion on a creeping shaft or housing seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Fillet radii must clear the 2205-E-2RS1KTN9 chamfer so the 18 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
- Mount 2205-E-2RS1KTN9 by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) on a cylindrical bore — driving it home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
- Do not wash 2205-E-2RS1KTN9 with solvent — the lifetime grease fill is sealed in, and solvent destroys the grease without a way to repack it.
- On a sleeve-mounted 2205-E-2RS1KTN9, lock the sleeve against the shaft shoulder; a loose sleeve creeps and frets both the shaft and the bore.
- The E-2RS1KTN9 suffix on 2205-E-2RS1KTN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 9000 r/min limiting speed, but it softens above roughly 120 °C — check the oil temperature in hot drives.
- The fatigue load limit is 0.21 kN; it feeds the equivalent-mean-load check, not the basic life calculation — do not substitute one for the other.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 2205-E-2RS1KTN9?
SKF 2205 E-2RS1KTN9 measures 25 mm bore × 52 mm OD × 18 mm width (0.984 × 2.047 × 0.709 in), mass about 160 g. It has two contact rubber seals (2RS1) and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 2205 work?
The final two digits of 2205 are bore code 05, multiplied by 5 to give 25 mm.
Which fits should I use for 2205-E-2RS1KTN9?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly k5 on the shaft and H7 in the 52 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
How heavy is 2205-E-2RS1KTN9?
Catalogue mass is 160 g for 2205 E-2RS1KTN9; seal and cage executions of the same envelope differ by a few grams.
