SKF BS2 series bearings with 2RS5 sealing and C3GEM9 clearance are medium-section deep groove ball bearings built to handle moderate radial and axial loads. The low-friction double-sided seal keeps lubricant in and contaminants out, making these bearings a practical choice for dusty or humid conditions. They suit industrial equipment running at moderate speeds where dependable operation matters.
Reading the code helps you confirm the right part. BS2 identifies the medium-section series. 2RS5 denotes the low-friction double-sided seal. C3GEM9 covers the increased radial clearance and the lubricant type. Take BS2-2212-2RS5/C3GEM9: it is a BS2 series bearing with a 60 mm bore, 2RS5 sealing and C3GEM9 clearance. A C3 or C4 suffix means radial clearance above standard, which fits interference fits or elevated temperatures.
These bearings appear in conveyor belts, centrifugal pumps, fans, mixers, mills and agricultural machinery. The 2RS5 seal handles dusty or humid settings well, such as food plants, cement plants, quarries and rural operations. They also serve power transmission equipment that needs a robust, low-maintenance bearing.
When selecting a bearing, check shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, rotation speed and environmental conditions. The 2RS5 seal retains lubricant and blocks contaminants, but it is not meant for immersion. Choose C3GEM9 clearance when the shaft fit is interference or when the inner and outer rings will see thermal differences. During mounting, keep alignment correct and avoid striking the seals.
For equivalents, SKF BS2 series bearings with 2RS5 sealing and C3GEM9 clearance can be replaced by bearings from other manufacturers that match the same dimensions and specifications. Verify bore, outer diameter and width, plus sealing type and radial clearance. Tolerances vary between manufacturers, so consult a specialist before substituting a bearing.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the C3GEM9 suffix mean in these bearings?
- C3 indicates internal radial clearance greater than standard, which suits interference fits or high temperatures. GEM9 refers to the lubricant type and special treatment. Together they support reliable operation under demanding conditions.
- What is the difference between 2RS5 and 2RS sealing?
- 2RS5 is a low-friction variant that offers better lubricant retention and protection against fine contaminants. It works well in dusty or humid environments, though not for immersion. Standard 2RS has similar characteristics but without the friction optimization.
- Can I replace an SKF BS2 bearing with another brand?
- Yes, if the dimensions and specifications match: bore, outer diameter, width, sealing type and radial clearance. Also check load capacity and speed. Contact us with the code and we will help you find the right equivalent.
