Reading the number 6207
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 | 6207 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. | 6207 |
| Z | One metal shield, on one side only. | 6207-Z |
| ZZ, 2Z | Metal shields on both sides. Non-contact, so low friction; keeps out larger dirt. Usually greased for life. | 6207-ZZ |
| RS | One rubber contact seal, on one side only. | 6207-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. | 6207-2RS |
| 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. | 6207-2RS 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 6207 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6807 | thin-section | 47 mm | 7 mm | 6 mm | −25 mm OD, −10 mm wide |
| 6907 | thin-section | 55 mm | 10 mm | 10 mm | −17 mm OD, −7 mm wide |
