The SKF 6202-2RSH/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 15 mm bore, 35 mm outside diameter and 11 mm width, fitted with a contact rubber seal on both sides (2RSH) and C3 radial internal clearance. It belongs to the SKF Explorer performance class and, per SKF, carries a basic dynamic load rating of 8.06 kN and a basic static load rating of 3.75 kN.
The designation can be read directly: 6 = single row deep groove ball bearing, 2 = ISO dimension series 02 (light), the most widely used series, balancing size and load capacity; 02 = bore code for 15 mm; 2RSH = contact seals on both sides; C3 = radial internal clearance greater than normal.
The contact seals rub lightly on the inner ring, which keeps grease in and dust, water and washdown spray out better than a shield. The price of that protection is speed: SKF lists a limiting speed of 13,000 r/min for this sealed version, against 22,000 r/min for the shielded 6202-2Z/C3.

Typical applications
- Office machines and light automation axes
- Agricultural and food-processing machinery that is washed down
- Construction and quarry equipment auxiliaries
- Belt and roller conveyors exposed to dust
- Like-for-like replacement of a worn SKF 6202-2RSH/C3
Compatibility and replacement
Every 6202 bearing made to ISO 15 has the same 15 x 35 x 11 mm boundary dimensions, so this bearing fits wherever a 6202 with contact seals and C3 clearance from another maker was used. Suffixes differ between brands: shields are often marked ZZ or 2Z, contact seals 2RS, 2RS1, DDU or LLU, and the clearance C3 may appear as “C3” or “/C3”. Always match the sealing arrangement and the clearance class shown on the old bearing; if your machine needs the other closure, the 6202-2Z/C3 is the same size.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 6202-2RSH/C3 and 6202-2Z/C3?
Only the closures. The 6202-2Z has non-contact steel shields; the 2RSH version has contact rubber seals. Per SKF, the limiting speed is 22,000 r/min for 2Z and 13,000 r/min for 2RSH; the load ratings are the same. Choose shields for speed and low friction, seals for dirt and moisture.
Does the 6202-2RSH/C3 need greasing?
No. Per SKF it is supplied filled with grease and has no relubrication feature, so it is mounted as delivered and not washed out. Net weight per SKF is 0.046 kg.
Is it the same as a 6202ZZ or 6202-2RS from another brand?
Dimensionally yes: all 6202 bearings share 15 x 35 x 11 mm under ISO 15. A ZZ marking corresponds to the 2Z shielded design and 2RS to this sealed design; load ratings and speeds differ between makers, and the figures on this page are the SKF values.
