The SKF deep groove ball bearing of the RS/VB series is a single row bearing with contact seal, designed to withstand 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 carries this line and advises you to choose the correct variant for your application.
The designation of these bearings is made up of the size number, the sealing suffix and the special execution code. For example, in 6006/32-2RS1/VB005, 6006 indicates the series and size, /32 a bore diameter different from standard, 2RS1 the bilateral contact seal 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 from the food, textile, chemical and process industries, where the seal 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, verify the shaft and housing diameters, the type of load and the environmental conditions. The RS seal is contact type and retains grease better, but generates more friction than a ZZ shield; if the equipment rotates 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 in 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 equivalent according to the original part number and intended use.
If you have the part number engraved on the bearing or on the equipment drawing, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data we can identify the series, the seal and the VB execution, and offer you the alternative that best suits your machine. We work 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 in other brands. Consult us with the original part number and we will indicate the equivalent.
- How do I choose between RS seal and ZZ shield?
- The RS seal is contact type and protects better against contaminants, ideal for environments with dust or moisture. The non-contact ZZ shield generates less friction and is preferable in high-speed applications where temperature is a factor. The choice depends on the environment and working speeds.
