62082RS

62082RS is a bearing designation commonly found in catalogs and parts lists. It is typically understood to refer to a sealed deep groove ball bearing in the 6200 series, with two rubber seals on both sides. The “RS” suffix indicates the protective rubber seals, which help retain lubricant and protect the bearing from dust and moisture. Because naming conventions can vary by manufacturer, some sources may list the same bearing as 6208-2RS or 6208RS; it is important to verify exact dimensions and tolerances from the supplier.

Construction and materials are typical of deep groove ball bearings: inner and outer rings, a set of steel balls, and a cage to keep the balls evenly spaced. The rings and balls are usually made from chromium steel, while the seals are made from elastomeric materials such as nitrile rubber (NBR) or alternatives, chosen for compatibility with lubricants and operating conditions. The design allows predominantly radial loads with low to moderate axial load capability, and the seals provide protection against contaminants and lubricant leakage.

Applications for sealed 6200-series bearings, including those designated with RS suffixes, are broad and include consumer appliances, power tools, automotive components, and various light to moderate-duty mechanical assemblies. They are chosen when a combination of compact size, low friction, and protection from dust and moisture is required. Installation should avoid damaging the seals, and the bearing should be mounted with appropriate fits and lubrication as specified by the manufacturer. When in doubt, refer to the specific bearing datasheet for exact dimensions, tolerances, and permissible operating conditions.
