Bearing questions
How do I know what size bearing I need?
Check the side of the old bearing for a part number such as 6205-2RS. If it's worn off, measure the bore, outside diameter and width in millimetres with calipers, then enter them in the bearing finder. Our measuring guide shows how.
What's the difference between 2RS and ZZ bearings?
Both are the same size. 2RS bearings have rubber seals on both sides, which keep out dirt and water better. ZZ bearings have metal shields on both sides, which run with less friction and suit higher speeds in clean, dry conditions.
What does C3 mean on a bearing?
C3 means the bearing has more internal clearance than standard. It's common in electric motors and anywhere the bearing runs hot. If your old bearing is marked C3, replace it with a C3.
What does K mean in a bearing number?
K means a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper, for example 1210K. These bearings fit onto a tapered shaft or onto a plain shaft using an adaptor sleeve. A K bearing and a plain bearing of the same number are not interchangeable.
How do I read a bearing part number?
The first digits give the type and series, and for most bearings from 04 upwards the last two digits multiplied by 5 give the bore in millimetres. So a 6205 is a deep groove ball bearing with a 25 mm bore. Letters after the number describe seals, shields and clearance.
