The SKF 62207-2RS1 wide-series sealed deep groove ball bearing provides rotational support for machinery designed around a 23mm-wide bearing position. Its defining feature is the wider axial profile: the conventional 6207 measures 35 x 72 x 17mm, whereas this bearing requires an additional 6mm of installation space. That difference affects bearing shoulders, shaft spacers and retaining arrangements, so the two versions are not direct dimensional substitutes. The single row deep groove construction accommodates predominantly radial loads alongside axial forces in either direction, subject to the bearing's rated limits. SKF specifies a basic dynamic load rating of 25.5kN and a basic static load rating of 15.3kN. These figures should guide service-life calculations rather than assuming additional bearing width automatically increases load capacity.
The 2RS1 rubber contact seals retain factory-applied grease and help restrict the entry of dust, dirt and moisture. This is valuable in enclosed conveyor and drive assemblies where routine relubrication can be difficult. SKF publishes a limiting speed of 6,300rpm, although continuous operating suitability also depends on temperature, load and contact seal friction. The bearing has normal (CN) radial internal clearance, so shaft interference fits and thermal expansion must be considered to maintain adequate clearance after mounting. For replacement work, verify the complete designation and 23mm width, and apply installation forces directly to the ring being fitted rather than through the rolling elements.
Typical Applications:
Industrial conveyor drive and roller assemblies
