Which SKF bearing do you need?
Start with the bearing family already specified for the machine. A deep-groove ball bearing and a tapered roller bearing can have the same bore while using a different housing, mounting arrangement and load path.
Deep-groove ball bearings
Use the on-site 6200–6210 model guide to identify the base size. Add all closure and clearance suffixes from the original SKF marking.

Tapered roller bearings
Send the complete cone-and-cup assembly code. Keep the two component markings and the installed arrangement together in your enquiry.
Browse tapered roller models →For a cylindrical, spherical, angular-contact or mounted-bearing requirement, send the complete existing designation and a photograph. Include the housing or sleeve code where the purchase is for an assembly rather than the bearing alone.
What do 2Z, 2RSH and C3 mean on an SKF bearing?
These suffixes describe different features: 2Z identifies shields on both sides, 2RSH identifies RSH contact seals on both sides, and C3 identifies radial internal clearance greater than Normal. A closure code and a clearance code can appear in the same designation.
2Z: two shields
Preserve the 2Z suffix when copying the original code. A shielded bearing is a different configuration from an open or contact-sealed bearing with the same base number.
2RSH: two contact seals
Copy the complete seal code as marked. Sealing design matters for friction, lubrication and the operating environment; a generic “sealed bearing” description loses detail.
C3: internal clearance
C3 describes a clearance class, not a seal or shield. Keep it with the model when the existing bearing or machine specification calls for it.
Other letters and numbers
Keep cage, precision, grease and other suffixes too. Send a readable photo if punctuation or characters on the ring are unclear.
For an NSK or NTN marking, use the cross-brand bearing suffix guide to read the manufacturer-specific closure and clearance codes.
Why “SKF 6205” may be an incomplete enquiry
The base number alone does not say whether the bearing is open, shielded or sealed, or which internal clearance is required. For example, a code containing both 2Z and C3 communicates two separate requirements. Copy the original complete designation instead of choosing a suffix from the machine type alone.

SKF bearing buying questions
Can I send an SKF bearing enquiry from outside Delhi?
Yes. Send the full code, quantity and delivery PIN code to Sardar Mill Store. Our Delhi team can discuss the exact requirement and dispatch options for your destination.
Does C3 mean a bearing has rubber seals?
No. C3 describes internal clearance greater than Normal. Seal and shield suffixes are separate: examples include 2RSH for two RSH contact seals and 2Z for two shields.
Can I replace another brand with the same SKF base number?
The base number is only part of the requirement. Send both complete designations and the machine specification so dimensions, closure, clearance, cage and other features can be compared.
What if the SKF bearing number is worn away?
Send photographs of both faces and measure the bore, outside diameter and width. Add the machine model, housing information and any remaining characters on the marking.
