How to Identify a Bearing

If you don’t know the bearing part number, provide as much of the following information as possible:

1. Bearing Number

Example:

6205-2RS-C3

The complete suffix is important.

2. Bore

Measure the internal diameter.

3. Outside Diameter

Measure the outside diameter of the bearing.

4. Width

Measure the bearing width.

5. Bearing Type

Tell us whether it is:

• Ball bearing
• Roller bearing
• Spherical roller
• Tapered roller
• Cylindrical roller
• Thrust bearing
• Needle bearing

6. Application

Tell us what equipment the bearing is installed in.

7. Operating Conditions

Where possible, provide:

• RPM
• Load
• Temperature
• Lubrication type
• Dust/water exposure
• Shaft size
• Housing size

Bearing selection should consider operating conditions rather than dimensions alone. South African bearing guidance similarly recommends confirming the complete reference, dimensions, load direction, speed, sealing, lubrication and mounting conditions.

---

Bearing Suffixes Matter

A common mistake when buying replacement bearings is to provide only the basic number.

For example:

6205

may not provide enough information.

You may actually require:

• 6205-2RS
• 6205-2Z
• 6205-C3
• 6205-2RS/C3

The suffix can indicate differences such as:

• Sealing
• Shielding
• Internal clearance
• Cage configuration
• Precision
• Lubrication
• Internal design

Different manufacturers also use different suffix conventions.

Always provide the complete marking from the existing bearing whenever possible.

Tips for Buying Bearings in South Africa

1. Don’t buy based on size alone

Two bearings can have similar dimensions but different internal specifications.

2. Provide the complete part number

Photograph the markings on the old bearing.

3. Confirm the application

A bearing for an electric motor may have different requirements from a bearing used in a mining conveyor.

4. Check bearing clearance

Applications may require standard clearance or increased clearance such as C3 or other specifications.

5. Consider contamination

Mining and construction equipment often operates in dusty and contaminated environments.

6. Check the seal arrangement

Common configurations include:

• Open
• Shielded
• Sealed
• 2RS
• 2Z / ZZ

7. Consider operating temperature

High-temperature applications may require a bearing designed for elevated operating temperatures.

8. Check lubrication

Incorrect grease or insufficient lubrication can significantly reduce bearing service life.

9. Check shaft and housing fits

Incorrect fits can lead to:

• Bearing creep
• Excessive vibration
• Overheating
• Premature failure

10. Don’t automatically substitute brands

A cross-brand replacement should be checked for dimensions, internal design, clearance, load ratings and application suitability.
