Reading the number 6007
Every deep groove ball bearing number follows the same pattern: type, dimension series and bore code, then suffixes.
Seals, shields and suffixes
Suffixes add closures and internal clearance. They do not change the boundary dimensions: a sealed and an open bearing of the same number are interchangeable in size.
| Suffix | Meaning | 6007 example |
|---|---|---|
| Open (no suffix) | No seals or shields. Can be relubricated, or run in an oil bath; the housing needs its own seal against dirt. | 6007 |
| Z | One metal shield, on one side only. | 6007-Z |
| ZZ, 2Z | Metal shields on both sides. Non-contact, so low friction; keeps out larger dirt. Usually greased for life. | 6007-ZZ |
| RS | One rubber contact seal, on one side only. | 6007-RS |
| 2RS, 2RS1, 2RSH, 2RSR, DDU, LLU | Rubber contact seals on both sides. Better than shields against fine dirt and splashing water, with a little more friction. Usually greased for life. | 6007-2RS |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than normal (CN). Used with tight shaft or housing fits, or where the inner ring runs hotter than the outer ring. | 6007-2RS C3 |

Seal designs and suffixes vary by maker, size range and product generation, for example contact versus low-friction seals. Confirm the exact designation in the maker's catalogue before ordering.
Same 35 mm bore, other series
Bearings that fit the same shaft. A heavier series carries more load in a bigger housing bore; a thin-section series saves space and weight.
| Bearing | Series | OD | Width | Section | vs 6007 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6807 | thin-section | 47 mm | 7 mm | 6 mm | −15 mm OD, −7 mm wide |
| 6907 | thin-section | 55 mm | 10 mm | 10 mm | −7 mm OD, −4 mm wide |

What does 2RS mean on a 6007 bearing?
6007-2RS has rubber contact seals on both sides. 6007-ZZ (also written 6007-2Z) has metal shields on both sides. Both have the same 35 × 62 × 14 mm dimensions.
Is 6007-2RS the same as 6007-ZZ?
They are the same size and interchangeable in a housing. The sealed 6007-2RS keeps out fine dirt and water better; the shielded 6007-ZZ runs with less friction.
What is the SKF equivalent of 6007-2RS?
SKF writes it 6007-2RSH; FAG 6007-2RSR, NSK 6007DDU, NTN 6007LLU and Koyo 6007-2RS. Check the maker's catalogue for the exact seal type.
What does the number 6007 mean?
6 is the deep groove ball bearing type, 0 is the extra-light dimension series, and 07 × 5 = 35 mm (from 04 up, multiply by 5).
Which bearings have the same bore as 6007?
6807, 6907, 6207, 6307 also have a 35 mm bore, with different outside diameters and widths.
