The SKF HK RS series is a drawn cup needle roller bearing supplied with a steel cage and an elastomer seal on one or both sides. It handles radial loads in installations where radial space is very limited and a ball bearing will not fit. Typical uses include power transmission, household appliances, power tools and agricultural machinery.
Reading the designation is straightforward. The letters HK identify a drawn cup needle roller bearing without an inner ring. In the number that follows, the first two digits give the bore diameter in millimeters and the next two give the width. Taking HK 0810 RS as an example, the bore is 8 mm and the width is 10 mm. The RS suffix means an elastomer seal on one side, while 2RS means seals on both sides. Part numbers in the series include HK 0812.2RS, HK 1012 RS, HK 1014.2RS, HK 1214 RS, HK 1216.2RS, HK 1616.2RS and HK 2020.2RS.
These bearings suit applications where radial space is critical and loads are moderate. They appear in gearboxes, electric motors, pumps, compressors, textile machines, packaging equipment and agricultural machinery, as well as in washing machines and portable power tools. Because the drawn cup design mounts directly on the shaft, no additional inner ring is needed, which simplifies the assembly design.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, available width and seal type. The RS and 2RS versions arrive sealed from the factory, which protects against dust and moisture, though it does not replace proper lubrication. During mounting, the shaft must have the right hardness and roughness to act as a raceway. Shaft and housing must be aligned to avoid parasitic axial loads. In highly contaminated environments, add external seals.
Equivalent drawn cup needle roller bearings with seals exist from several brands under similar designations, but they are not always directly interchangeable. Bore diameter, outer diameter and width usually match, yet load capacity, seal type and tolerance can differ. Verify the complete part number and the manufacturer's specifications before substituting one brand for another. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF and can advise on the replacement.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the RS suffix mean on an HK bearing?
- RS indicates an elastomer seal on one side. With 2RS, the seal is on both sides. This protects against dust and moisture and helps retain lubricant.
- Do I need an inner ring to mount an HK bearing?
- No. HK drawn cup bearings have no inner ring, so the shaft acts directly as the raceway and must have the proper hardness and roughness. If the shaft is not prepared, an additional inner ring can be used.
- How do I choose between an HK RS bearing and an unsealed one?
- If the environment contains dust, moisture or particles, choose the sealed RS or 2RS version. In a closed, well-lubricated system, an unsealed bearing may be sufficient and allows higher speed. Consult us about your application.
