Cross references & equivalents
| Equivalent model | Brand | Match level | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2209 | NTN | partial Main dimensions match; tolerances, seals or internal clearance differ. | Same 45×85×23 mm envelope per ISO 15; seal variant differs (2RS vs OPEN) — confirm sealing suits the duty. |

How the 2209-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: 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-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 45 mm shaft. Limiting speed 5300 r/min, catalogue mass 530 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- textile machinery drives
- industrial fans and blowers
- woodworking machinery
- pump shafts with mild misalignment
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
- brinelling from static overload or hammer blows during mounting
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft stands idle
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The spherical outer raceway lets 2209-E-2RS1TN9 tolerate shaft deflection, but it does not increase thrust capacity — combined loads still need an angular-contact or deep-groove bearing.
- The spherical outer raceway lets 2209-E-2RS1TN9 tolerate shaft deflection, but it does not increase thrust capacity — combined loads still need an angular-contact or deep-groove bearing.
- The 2RS1 contact seals on 2209-E-2RS1TN9 add drag and cap speed at 5300 r/min; no thermal reference speed is published because seal and grease life govern, not the bearing steel.
- The E-2RS1TN9 suffix on 2209-E-2RS1TN9 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.
- The spherical outer raceway lets 2209-E-2RS1TN9 tolerate shaft deflection, but it does not increase thrust capacity — combined loads still need an angular-contact or deep-groove bearing.
- Fillet radii must clear the 2209-E-2RS1TN9 chamfer so the 23 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 2209-E-2RS1TN9?
SKF 2209 E-2RS1TN9 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.
Can 2209-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.
Which fits should I use for 2209-E-2RS1TN9?
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.
