Description

SKF BS2-2218-2RS5/C4GEM9 is a special bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for BS2-2218-2RS5/C4GEM9 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

SKF BS2 series bearings with 2RS5 sealing and C3GEM9 designation are medium-section deep groove ball bearings designed to withstand moderate radial and axial loads. Their low-friction double-sided sealing makes them suitable for dusty or humid environments, where lubricant retention and protection against contaminants are required. They are used in industrial equipment operating at moderate speeds and requiring a reliable, long-lasting bearing.

The designation of these bearings is read as follows: BS2 indicates the medium-section series, 2RS5 the low-friction double-sided sealing, and C3GEM9 the increased radial clearance and the type of lubricant. For example, BS2-2212-2RS5/C3GEM9 corresponds to a BS2 series bearing with 60 mm bore diameter, 2RS5 sealing and C3GEM9 clearance. The C3 or C4 suffix indicates a radial clearance greater than standard, suitable for applications with interference fits or high temperatures.

These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment in Argentina: conveyor belts, centrifugal pumps, fans, mixers, mills and agricultural machinery. Their 2RS5 sealing makes them especially suitable for dusty or humid environments, such as food plants, cement plants, quarries and rural establishments. They are also used in power transmission equipment where a robust, low-maintenance bearing is required.

To select the right bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, rotation speed and environmental conditions. 2RS5 sealing offers good lubricant retention and protection against contaminants, but it is not suitable for immersion. C3GEM9 clearance is recommended when the shaft fit is interference or when thermal differences between inner and outer rings are expected. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and avoid hitting the seals.

Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, SKF BS2 series bearings with 2RS5 sealing and C3GEM9 clearance can be replaced by bearings from other manufacturers that meet the same dimensions and specifications. It is important to verify the bore, outer diameter and width, as well as the type of sealing and radial clearance. Not all manufacturers offer exactly the same tolerances, so it is recommended to consult a specialist before replacing a bearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the C3GEM9 suffix mean in these bearings?
C3 indicates an internal radial clearance greater than standard, suitable for interference fits or high temperatures. GEM9 refers to the type of lubricant and special treatment. Together, they ensure optimal operation under demanding conditions.
What is the difference between 2RS5 and 2RS sealing?
2RS5 sealing is a low-friction variant that offers better lubricant retention and protection against fine contaminants. It is ideal for dusty or humid environments, although not for immersion. Standard 2RS has similar characteristics but without the friction optimization.
Can I replace an SKF BS2 bearing with another brand?
Yes, as long as the dimensions and specifications match: bore, outer diameter, width, type of sealing and radial clearance. Also verify load capacity and speed. Consult us with the code and we will help you find the right equivalent.
