The SKF 6209-2RS1 sealed deep groove ball bearing provides reliable shaft support in industrial machinery where load capacity, rotational speed and contamination protection must be considered together. Its single row deep groove construction accommodates predominantly radial loads alongside moderate axial forces in either direction. SKF Explorer specifications give a basic dynamic load rating of 35.1kN and a basic static load rating of 21.6kN, providing useful reference values for bearing life calculations and load assessment. The 62 series design offers greater load-carrying capability than the narrower 6009 bearing with the same 45mm bore, making it a practical choice for machinery requiring a stronger bearing arrangement without moving to the larger 6309 series.
The 2RS1 double rubber contact seals retain factory grease and help restrict dust, dirt and moisture from reaching the raceways. This arrangement is useful in pumps, electric motors and drive assemblies where regular relubrication may be inconvenient. SKF specifies a limiting speed of 5,000rpm for this sealed configuration, although continuous operating suitability also depends on loading, temperature and seal friction. The bearing has normal radial internal clearance rather than C3, so shaft interference fits, housing tolerances and thermal expansion must be assessed before installation. When replacing an existing bearing, confirm the full designation to preserve the required sealing and clearance characteristics.
Typical Applications:
Industrial electric motor shaft assemblies
Centrifugal pumps and fluid-handling equipment
Conveyor drive and pulley systems
Industrial fans and blower assemblies
Gearboxes and mechanical power transmission equipment
