Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the BS 6200 2RS bearing?
A: The BS 6200 2RS is a miniature deep-groove ball bearing with an outer diameter of 1.181 inches (30MM), inner diameter of 0.394 inches (10MM), and width of 0.355 inches (9MM). The 2RS designation means it has rubber seals on both sides for contamination protection.
Q: What equipment uses the BS 6200 2RS bearing?
A: This is a small precision bearing found in hand truck wheel assemblies, small electric pallet jack drive wheels, and lift table pivot points from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other manufacturers. Verify the bearing housing dimensions match before ordering, as this size fits multiple applications.
Q: What is the load rating of the BS 6200 2RS?
A: The BS 6200 2RS is rated for radial loads up to 310 lbs and thrust loads up to 180 lbs at moderate speeds. This is a small bearing intended for low-to-moderate load applications. Do not use in high-capacity pallet jack main load wheels; it is suitable for pivot points, swivel casters, and smaller wheel applications.
Q: How often should the BS 6200 2RS be replaced or serviced?
A: The sealed design minimizes maintenance. Under normal warehouse use, expect 1500 to 2500 operating hours before replacement. If the bearing binds, squeaks, or spins roughly, replace it immediately. Do not attempt to repack a 2RS bearing; they are not serviceable.
Q: Can I substitute the BS 6200 2RS with a larger bearing?
A: No. Bearing size is fixed by the equipment design. Installing a larger bearing will not fit the housing; installing a smaller bearing will create excessive play and failure. Always match the exact dimensions: 1.181-inch OD, 0.394-inch ID, 0.355-inch width.
Q: Is the BS 6200 2RS suitable for wet environments?
A: Yes. The 2RS rubber seals provide moisture protection suitable for wet floors and dock environments. The small size means the seals are durable and reliable. In freezing conditions below 0°F, the rubber seals may become stiff, but the bearing will still function.
