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

How the 2211-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: 2211 carries code 11 = 55 mm (code × 5). Envelope 55×100×25 mm (2.165×3.937×0.984 in) with a 22.5 mm radial section height, C 27.6 kN, C0 10.6 kN and Pu 0.54 kN. SKF spells the sealed execution 2211 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 55 mm shaft. Limiting speed 4300 r/min, catalogue mass 790 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- agricultural gearboxes
- textile machinery drives
- industrial fans and blowers
- woodworking machinery
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 2211-E-2RS1TN9 chamfer so the 25 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
- At 55 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 2211-E-2RS1TN9 to avoid seal-lip binding.
- The E-2RS1TN9 suffix on 2211-E-2RS1TN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 4300 r/min limiting speed, but it softens above roughly 120 °C — check the oil temperature in hot drives.
- At 55 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.
- The spherical outer raceway lets 2211-E-2RS1TN9 tolerate shaft deflection, but it does not increase thrust capacity — combined loads still need an angular-contact or deep-groove bearing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 2211-E-2RS1TN9?
SKF 2211 E-2RS1TN9 measures 55 mm bore × 100 mm OD × 25 mm width (2.165 × 3.937 × 0.984 in), mass about 790 g. It has two contact rubber seals (2RS1) and a lifetime grease fill.
How does the bore code in 2211 work?
The final two digits of 2211 are bore code 11, multiplied by 5 to give 55 mm.
How much misalignment can 2211-E-2RS1TN9 tolerate?
Self-aligning ball bearings tolerate roughly 2–3° of static misalignment for open executions; sealed 2RS1 variants like 2211-E-2RS1TN9 allow less (about 1°) because the seal lip binds first.
Can 2211-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.
