Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the BS 6202 2RS bearing?
A: The BS 6202 2RS is a sealed deep-groove ball bearing with an outer diameter of 1.378 inches (35MM), inner diameter of 0.590 inches (15MM), and width of 0.433 inches (11MM). The 2RS designation indicates dual rubber seals for contamination and moisture protection.
Q: What is the load capacity of the BS 6202 2RS?
A: The BS 6202 2RS is rated for radial loads up to 500 lbs and thrust loads up to 280 lbs. This makes it suitable for moderate-load applications such as drive wheels on smaller electric pallet jacks, hand truck wheels, and equipment swivel casters.
Q: Which pallet jack and material handling brands use the BS 6202 2RS?
A: The BS 6202 2RS is found in hand trucks, low-capacity electric pallet jacks, and equipment casters from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Clark. Verify your specific equipment model to confirm the bearing size before ordering.
Q: How long does the BS 6202 2RS last under normal warehouse use?
A: The sealed design provides a service life of 2000 to 3500 operating hours under typical warehouse conditions. Heavier loads or outdoor use may reduce life to 1500 hours. The dual seals eliminate the need for maintenance or regreasing.
Q: Is the BS 6202 2RS suitable for wet floor and cold storage environments?
A: Yes. The 2RS rubber seals provide excellent moisture protection for wet floors and damp dock areas. In cold storage below freezing, the bearing operates normally. The sealed design prevents ice buildup inside the bearing.
Q: What is the difference between BS 6201 2RS and BS 6202 2RS?
A: The BS 6202 2RS is larger with a 1.378-inch outer diameter versus 1.250 inches for the BS 6201 2RS, and it has higher load capacity (500 lbs versus 380 lbs). The BS 6202 2RS is typically used in drive wheel and main load-bearing caster positions, while the BS 6201 2RS is used in lighter-duty locations. Do not interchange them without confirming equipment specifications.
