SKF E series self-aligning ball bearings have a double row of balls and a spherical raceway that lets them compensate for small misalignments between shaft and housing. They handle moderate radial and axial loads and are a practical choice when mounting conditions are less than perfect. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to keep your equipment running.
The part number follows SKF nomenclature: the basic number (such as 2202 or 2205) gives the size and diameter series. The E suffix denotes an optimized internal design. 2RS1 means rubber seals on both sides, which keep grease in and contaminants out. TN9 is a glass-fiber reinforced polyamide cage, light and tough. /GFJ specifies a factory grease for particular temperature and speed ranges. Reading these codes helps you order the exact replacement.
These bearings suit equipment where shafts flex or housings are not perfectly aligned. They appear in industrial fans, conveyors, textile machinery, packaging lines and small drives. Their self-aligning ability reduces premature wear and simplifies maintenance when alignment is not ideal.
When selecting, consider radial and axial load, speed and environment. The 2RS1 seal works in moderate dust or humidity. The TN9 cage handles vibration well. During mounting, ensure shaft and housing are clean and free of burrs; initial alignment need not be perfect, but avoid impacts that damage seals. The GFJ grease is factory-applied, so no additional lubrication is needed.
For replacement, equivalent bearings from other brands may exist with similar designations, but always verify main dimensions, seal type and cage match. At MR Industrial Accessories we help you confirm safe interchangeability without affecting performance.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 2205 E-2RS1TN9/GFJ bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 2205 E-2RS1TN9/GFJ measures 25 mm across the bore and 52 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 18 mm (25 x 52 x 18 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 2205.
- What does the 2RS1 suffix mean on these bearings?
- It indicates rubber seals on both sides. These seals retain lubricating grease and block dust, water or particles, extending service life in contaminated environments.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, if the main dimensions, seal type and cage match. Check the dimensions and ask us with the original part number to ensure a correct equivalent.
- Do I need to lubricate the bearing before mounting it?
- No, these bearings come lubricated from the factory with GFJ grease. Mount them clean and avoid blows that could damage the seals. Do not add extra lubricant.
