Suffix Information

Suffix CodeRS
CategorySeal
MeaningContact seal on one side
DescriptionRubber seal on one side whose lip runs against the inner ring, giving the best protection against dirt and moisture; the rubbing contact costs friction and raises the running temperature, so the limiting speed is below the shielded and open versions.

Manufacturer Ratings

Load-rating symbols are printed as each manufacturer writes them in its own catalogue, so the same quantity can carry a different symbol from brand to brand.

Speed Ratings

Speed limits depend on sealing and lubrication, and definitions differ by manufacturer. The figures below are for this sealed version (6002-RS). Contact seals are greased for life and run slower than the open bearing. Always confirm the exact variant in the manufacturer's table.

Limiting speeds for a bearing with only one contact seal (RS) are the seal's own catalogue figures, not the open bearing's (SKF Rolling Bearings, PUB BU/P1 17000).
