BS 6205-2RS-1"

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 2RS designation mean on this bearing?
A: 2RS indicates sealed bearings with rubber seals on both sides. These seals trap grease inside and keep contaminants out, making them suitable for wet environments and outdoor material handling equipment where exposure to moisture and dirt is common.

Q: Is BS 6205-2RS-1" compatible with manual pallet jacks from multiple manufacturers?
A: This bearing fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster models that use 6205-sized bearings. Always verify bore and outer diameter dimensions match your equipment before ordering to ensure proper fit and function.

Q: How long does this sealed bearing typically last in regular use?
A: Sealed bearings like the 6205-2RS typically provide 2-5 years of service life in standard indoor warehouse environments. Lifespan depends on load frequency, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Wet storage or high-load cycles may reduce service life.

Q: What maintenance is required for this bearing?
A: Sealed bearings require minimal maintenance since the rubber seals keep the internal grease protected. Periodic visual inspection for contamination or damage is recommended. Do not attempt to clean or re-grease sealed units; replace when worn.
