The SKF BS2-2216-2RS5/GEM9 is a sealed bearing built for environments where contamination and lubrication intervals are a concern. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF model to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America. Its designation packs several details into one string, so reading it correctly helps you confirm fit, sealing and lubrication before you order.
Break the part number into its parts: BS2 marks the series and design; 2216 gives the size and dimension series; 2RS5 means double-lip seals on both sides; and /GEM9 covers the factory lubricant and special tolerances. Together they tell you the bearing is set up for dirty, wet or hard-to-service locations.
You will find this bearing in conveyor rollers, gearboxes, pumps, industrial fans and similar equipment. Mining, cement, aggregate processing, paper machines and heavy transport are common settings, especially where dust or moisture would shorten the life of an open bearing. The double-lip seal keeps lubricant in and particles out, while the GEM9 fill supports extended service intervals.
When selecting a replacement, check the mounting dimensions, the load direction (radial, axial or combined) and the operating environment. The 2RS5 lips need a sound shaft and housing surface to seal properly, so inspect for wear or damage before installation. Align the shaft and housing carefully and follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidance to get the most from the bearing.
For cross-reference, SKF bearings in this series can interchange with other brands when dimensions, seals and lubricant match. Suffix differences matter: a different seal design or grease can change performance. Always compare the full part number and confirm with a specialist before substituting.
