How the 2209-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: 2209 carries code 09 = 45 mm (code × 5). Envelope 45×85×23 mm (1.772×3.346×0.906 in) with a 20.0 mm radial section height, C 22.9 kN, C0 7.8 kN and Pu 0.4 kN. SKF spells the sealed execution 2209 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 5300 r/min, catalogue mass 530 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- industrial fans and blowers
- woodworking machinery
- pump shafts with mild misalignment
- material-handling equipment
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
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without shaft grounding
- excessive misalignment loading one ball row heavily and spalling it early
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount 2209-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.
- Fillet radii must clear the 2209-E-2RS1KTN9 chamfer so the 23 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
- Do not wash 2209-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 2209-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 2209-E-2RS1KTN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 5300 r/min limiting speed, but it softens above roughly 120 °C — check the oil temperature in hot drives.
- Self-aligning ball bearings tolerate up to roughly 2–3° of static misalignment, but the sealed 2209-E-2RS1KTN9 (2RS1) allows less — the lip seal binds before the spherical raceway does.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 2209-E-2RS1KTN9?
SKF 2209 E-2RS1KTN9 measures 45 mm bore × 85 mm OD × 23 mm width (1.772 × 3.346 × 0.906 in), mass about 530 g. It has two contact rubber seals (2RS1) and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 2209 work?
The final two digits of 2209 are bore code 09, multiplied by 5 to give 45 mm.
Which fits should I use for 2209-E-2RS1KTN9?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly k5 on the shaft and H7 in the 85 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
How heavy is 2209-E-2RS1KTN9?
Catalogue mass is 530 g for 2209 E-2RS1KTN9; seal and cage executions of the same envelope differ by a few grams.
