The SKF deep groove ball bearing of the RS/VB series is a single-row bearing with contact sealing, designed to support moderate radial and axial loads in equipment where contamination or lubricant loss shortens service life. Its sealed design makes it suitable for electric motors, pumps, fans and light transmissions. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line and advises you on choosing the correct variant for your application.
The designation of these bearings is built from the size number, the sealing suffix and the special execution code. For example, in 6006/32-2RS1/VB005, the 6006 indicates the series and size, /32 a bore different from standard, 2RS1 the double-sided contact sealing and VB005 a variant controlled by SKF. The RS series groups sealed single-row bearings; the VB code identifies executions with specific tolerances or clearances. Knowing these suffixes prevents ordering a bearing that does not match the housing or shaft.
These bearings are used in low and medium power electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyor belts and machine tools. In the Argentine market they appear in equipment in the food, textile, chemical and process industries, where sealing protects against dust, wash water and vapors. They are also common in agricultural applications and in factory equipment that works with lifetime lubrication. The variety of sizes and executions makes them a versatile option for maintenance.
To select the correct bearing, check the shaft and housing diameters, the type of load and the environmental conditions. RS sealing is contact type and retains grease better, but generates more friction than a ZZ shield; if the equipment runs at high speeds, evaluate a variant with lower drag. Internal clearance and lubrication must match the application: do not mix bearings with different clearances in the same equipment. When mounting, align the raceways well and use controlled impact tools to avoid damaging the seals.
Sealed deep groove ball bearings are available from different brands with equivalent nomenclatures. An SKF 2RS1 usually corresponds to a 2RS or DDU from other firms, and a VV to a non-contact seal. However, not all VB executions have a direct replacement: always verify the tolerance, clearance and seal type before interchanging. MR Accesorios Industriales can guide you on the closest equivalence based on the original code and the intended use.
If you have the code engraved on the bearing or on the equipment drawing, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data we can identify the series, the sealing and the VB execution, and offer you the alternative that best fits your machine. We work with in-house manufacturing to cover maintenance and replacement needs in plants throughout the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2RS1 suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The 2RS1 suffix indicates that the bearing has rubber contact seals on both sides. These seals retain lubrication and block the entry of dust and moisture, although they generate somewhat more friction than a metal shield. It is a common option in dirty or humid environments.
- Can I replace an SKF VB005 bearing with another brand?
- In many cases yes, but first you must verify the tolerance, internal clearance and seal type. The VB execution may include specifications that are not always available from other brands. Consult us with the original code and we will tell you if a direct equivalence exists.
- How do I choose between RS sealing and ZZ shielding?
- RS sealing is contact type and protects better against contaminants, ideal for environments with dust or moisture. ZZ shielding is non-contact and generates less friction, preferable in high-speed applications where temperature is a factor. The choice depends on the environment and the working speeds.
