FAG S6002-2RSR-HLC Kugellager (15x32x9)

This FAG bearing measures 15x32x9 mm and weighs 0.027 kg; the specification table carries the supplementary technical details. This variant features a contact seal and stainless steel. Cleaning agents attack the sealing material and the grease charge differently from the steel of the rings; the resistance of each of these three constituents is to be checked separately.

This version stages the protection in two steps that behave differently over time. The contact seal on both sides lays an elastomeric lip against the inner ring and thereby shuts splash water, cleaning agents and fine dust out of the rolling chamber — an effect that is present from the outset but declines with the ageing and wear of the lip, and which is bought with a load-independent frictional torque and a permissible speed lower than that of open versions.

The stainless steel of the rings and balls behaves the other way round: its passive layer is retained over the operating period and protects the raceways precisely when the first step has lost effect or a cleaning cycle has carried liquid past the lip. This staging is the actual reason for the combination; neither constituent replaces the other.

In the design three resistances are to be assessed separately, because they belong to different material groups: that of the ring material against the medium, that of the sealing material against cleaning agent and temperature, and that of the enclosed grease charge, which is dimensioned for the service life and cannot be renewed. Chloride-bearing and acidic environments are to be considered separately here and not inferred from the material group alone.

Mechanically, the lower attainable hardness of the stainless material has to be taken into account, which shows in reduced load ratings. Normal radial clearance is matched to one interference-fitted ring and a moderate temperature gradient; the frictional heat of the seal and the differing thermal expansion of the material enter into that consideration.

Contact seals on both sides (rubber lip seal) — Dimensional/form-fit equivalent — verify suffix-level details for critical applications. Matching suffixes are also listed by SKF (2RSH, 2RS1), NSK (DDU), NTN (LLU) and NACHI (2NSE).
