Decoding SKF 6203-2RSH/C3HTVT200
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 03Bore
- Bore 17 mm: by standard, 03 designates 17 mm.
- 2RSH/C3HTVT200Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6203 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.

When a bearing has to keep running in a hot process, the lubrication and the sealing are what decide how long it lasts. This SKF deep groove ball bearing comes from the factory with an RSH seal on both sides and HTVT grease inside, so the lubricant stays where it belongs at elevated service temperatures. It handles radial and axial loads in ovens, industrial fans, conveyor rollers and similar heat-exposed equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you match the exact variant to your application.
Reading the designation is the first step in choosing correctly. The base number, for example 6203, sets the boundary dimensions of the series. RSH tells you the bearing is contact-sealed on both sides. C3, when it appears, means internal clearance is larger than standard, which gives room for thermal expansion. HTVT identifies the high-temperature grease fill. Put those codes together and you know what the bearing is built to do before you ever open the box.
Typical service is in plants where heat is a constant: cement, ceramics, foundries, industrial baking and forced ventilation. Electric motors on ovens, rollers on hot conveyors and equipment running continuously are common homes for this bearing. The double seal keeps dust out and grease in, which matters in those conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these bearings for replacement and scheduled maintenance work.
Selection comes down to three things: the real operating temperature, the radial and axial loads involved, and what kind of contamination is present. RSH sealing works well where dust is the main concern; if liquids reach the bearing directly, look at other sealing options. C3 clearance makes sense with interference fits or when shaft and housing temperatures differ noticeably. Do not mix HTVT grease with another type, and if you regrease, use a compatible product. During mounting, keep the bearing aligned and avoid impacts that could damage the seals.
Bearings from other manufacturers can serve as equivalents if sealing, clearance and lubrication match the SKF RSH/C HTVT specification. Coding systems differ between brands, though, so compare the complete designation rather than just the base number. The interchange only holds if the temperature and load conditions stay within the same range.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6203-2RSH/C3HTVT200 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6203-2RSH/C3HTVT200 measures 17 mm across the bore and 40 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 12 mm (17 x 40 x 12 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6203.
- What does RSH mean in an SKF bearing designation?
- It means the bearing carries contact seals on both sides. Those seals hold the grease in and keep dust and moisture out, which helps in dirty environments. It is a common suffix on SKF bearings used in industrial equipment.
- What is HTVT grease intended for?
- HTVT is a high-temperature grease. It is used in bearings that work in ovens, industrial fans and continuous-process machinery, where the lubricant has to keep performing under sustained heat.
- Can a different brand replace an SKF bearing with RSH and HTVT?
- Yes, provided the dimensions, sealing type, internal clearance and lubrication are equivalent. Check the full designation, not just the base number, and send us the original part number so we can confirm compatibility. Nomenclature varies from one manufacturer to another.
