Reading the number 629
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 | 629 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. | 629 |
| Z | One metal shield, on one side only. | 629-Z |
| ZZ, 2Z | Metal shields on both sides. Non-contact, so low friction; keeps out larger dirt. Usually greased for life. | 629-ZZ |
| RS | One rubber contact seal, on one side only. | 629-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. | 629-2RS |
| 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. | 629-2RS C3 |
629 in other brands
The sealed and shielded versions as each maker writes them. All share the same boundary dimensions.
| Maker | Sealed both sides | Shielded both sides |
|---|---|---|
| SKF | 629-2RSH | 629-2Z |
| FAG (Schaeffler) | 629-2RSR | 629-2ZR |

| NTN | 629LLU | 629ZZ |
| Koyo (JTEKT) | 629-2RS | 629ZZ |
| Timken | 629-2RS | see catalogue |
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 9 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 629 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 609 | extra-light | 24 mm | 7 mm | 7.5 mm | −2 mm OD, −1 mm wide |
| 629 | light | 26 mm | 8 mm | 8.5 mm | this bearing |

Common questions
What size is a 629 bearing?
9 mm bore, 26 mm outside diameter and 8 mm wide, which is 0.354 × 1.024 × 0.315 in.
What does 2RS mean on a 629 bearing?
629-2RS has rubber contact seals on both sides. 629-ZZ (also written 629-2Z) has metal shields on both sides. Both have the same 9 × 26 × 8 mm dimensions.
Is 629-2RS the same as 629-ZZ?
They are the same size and interchangeable in a housing. The sealed 629-2RS keeps out fine dirt and water better; the shielded 629-ZZ runs with less friction.
What is the SKF equivalent of 629-2RS?
SKF writes it 629-2RSH; FAG 629-2RSR, NSK 629DDU, NTN 629LLU and Koyo 629-2RS. Check the maker's catalogue for the exact seal type.
What does the number 629 mean?
6 is the deep groove ball bearing type, 2 is the light dimension series, and under 10 mm bore the last digit is the bore itself: 9 = 9 mm.
Which bearings have the same bore as 629?
609 also have a 9 mm bore, with different outside diameters and widths.
