The SKF BS2-2220-2RS5K/VT143 is a double-sealed spherical roller bearing built for environments where dirt, moisture or routine washdowns would otherwise shorten bearing life. Its sealed design keeps lubricant in and contaminants out, so it fits demanding duties in mining, cement, food processing and water treatment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and helps you match the exact variant to your equipment.
Reading the code helps you order the right replacement. The BS2 prefix points to a sealed spherical roller bearing with a particular seal arrangement. The 2220 number sets the size within that series. The 2RS5 suffix means double contact seals, and the K shows a tapered bore. The /VT143 suffix covers the lubricant type and the amount filled at the factory. Each part of the code matters when you specify a replacement.
These bearings appear where dust, water or chemicals are part of daily operation. You will find them on mineral conveyors, mills, centrifugal pumps, mixers and process equipment in food and beverage plants, as well as on road and agricultural machinery working outdoors. Their ability to handle angular misalignment and combined loads makes them a practical choice for long shafts or assemblies where alignment is difficult.
Selection comes down to a few checks. The 2RS5 seal gives strong protection but adds friction, so it is not the first choice for high-speed operation. Confirm that the K tapered bore matches your shaft and fastening method, whether that is an adapter sleeve or a lock nut. The VT143 grease is installed at the factory, and mixing it with other greases requires guidance. During mounting, keep alignment accurate and avoid striking the seals. If washdowns are frequent, this seal type is the appropriate one.
When you compare equivalents from other brands, size alone is not enough. Seal suffixes, internal clearance and lubricant can differ from one maker to another. A bearing with similar dimensions may carry a different seal design or tolerance and may not swap directly. Always check the full code and the service conditions. MR Industrial Accessories can help you sort out those differences and find the option that fits your application.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the VT143 suffix mean on this bearing?
- VT143 identifies the lubricant type and the fill level set at the factory. It is a lubrication specification, not a dimension or tolerance. If you plan to change the grease, contact us first to avoid mixing incompatible products.
- Can I use this bearing on a shaft without a taper?
- No. The K in the designation means a tapered bore. A cylindrical shaft requires a different variant. If your shaft is cylindrical, we can look for the equivalent code without K. Send us your shaft dimensions and we will advise.
- Is this bearing suitable for high speeds?
- The 2RS5 contact seal offers strong protection against contaminants but creates more friction than an open bearing. For high speeds, consider a variant with lower resistance. Tell us the rpm of your equipment and we will recommend the right option.
