How the 2206-E-2RS1TN9 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: 2206 carries code 06 = 30 mm (code × 5). Envelope 30×62×20 mm (1.181×2.441×0.787 in) with a 16.0 mm radial section height, C 15.6 kN, C0 4.65 kN and Pu 0.24 kN. SKF spells the sealed execution 2206 E-2RS1TN9 (suffix 2RS1): two contact elastomer lips over a lifetime grease fill; the lips add drag, and no thermal reference speed is published. The E-2RS1TN9 suffix identifies the glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage execution. The bore is cylindrical (straight), for a press-fit on a 30 mm shaft. Limiting speed 7500 r/min, catalogue mass 260 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- agricultural machinery shafts
- textile spindles and looms
- fan and blower shafts
- woodworking machine spindles
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
- 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 2206-E-2RS1TN9 chamfer so the 20 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
- At 30 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.
- Sealed self-aligning bearings tolerate less misalignment than open ones: keep static misalignment under roughly 1° on 2206-E-2RS1TN9 to avoid seal-lip binding.
- The E-2RS1TN9 suffix on 2206-E-2RS1TN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 7500 r/min limiting speed, but it softens above roughly 120 °C — check the oil temperature in hot drives.
- Assign interference to the rotating ring: on a 30 mm rotating shaft use a k5 seat with an H7 housing; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
- Catalogue ratings for 2206-E-2RS1TN9 (C 15.6 kN, C0 4.65 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 2206-E-2RS1TN9?
SKF 2206 E-2RS1TN9 measures 30 mm bore × 62 mm OD × 20 mm width (1.181 × 2.441 × 0.787 in), mass about 260 g. It has two contact rubber seals (2RS1) and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 2206 work?
The final two digits of 2206 are bore code 06, multiplied by 5 to give 30 mm.
How much misalignment can 2206-E-2RS1TN9 tolerate?
Self-aligning ball bearings tolerate roughly 2–3° of static misalignment for open executions; sealed 2RS1 variants like 2206-E-2RS1TN9 allow less (about 1°) because the seal lip binds first.
Can 2206-E-2RS1TN9 take axial load?
A self-aligning ball bearing can carry some axial load in addition to radial load, but its axial capacity is lower than an angular-contact bearing of the same envelope. Use it where misalignment, not thrust, is the main requirement.
