This SKF deep groove ball bearing in the 2RS1/GJN version is a medium-section unit that arrives sealed on both sides and pre-lubricated with a high-grade grease. It handles moderate radial and axial loads in equipment where contamination resistance and low maintenance matter. Common uses include power transmission, electric motors, pumps and fans.
Reading the code helps you match the right part. The initial digits give the size and series, such as 6007, 6206 or 6309. The 2RS1 suffix tells you there are rubber seals on both sides, keeping grease in and keeping dust and moisture out. The GJN suffix identifies the factory fill of high-temperature polyurea grease. So a 6206-2RS1/GJN is a 62-series bearing, double-sealed and greased for extended service.
You will find these bearings in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor belts and machine tools. The double sealing suits dusty, damp or splash-prone settings like food plants, industrial laundries and workshops. They also appear in agricultural and road equipment, where keeping contaminants out is key to avoiding downtime.
When selecting a bearing, consider radial and axial load, rotation speed and shaft diameter. Because the 2RS1 seal comes with the needed lubrication, no additional greasing is required. During mounting, check alignment between shaft and housing and avoid striking the seals. If the equipment runs at high temperatures, confirm that the GJN grease suits the operating range.
SKF deep groove ball bearings interchange with other brands that share the same standardized dimensions. For a replacement, compare the full designation: series number plus sealing and lubrication suffixes. Do not swap a sealed bearing for an open one without assessing the contamination level of the environment. Our team can advise you so you pick the right option.
