60/22-2RS C3 bearing is a special dimension deep groove ball bearing with 22mm bore, 44mm outside diameter, and 12mm width. Designed for industrial equipment requiring a non-standard shaft size, this bearing provides a direct replacement solution without modifying existing shafts or housings.

Featuring double rubber seals (2RS) and C3 increased internal clearance, the bearing delivers reliable contamination protection, improved thermal expansion capacity, and stable performance in demanding industrial applications.

EKB supplies special dimension bearings, miniature bearings, stainless steel bearings, and customized bearing solutions for OEM manufacturers, distributors, and maintenance customers worldwide.

60/22-2RS C3 Bearing Specifications

Product Overview

The 60/22-2RS C3 bearing belongs to the special dimension deep groove ball bearing family. Unlike common metric bearings with standard bore sizes, this bearing is designed specifically for equipment requiring a 22mm shaft diameter while maintaining a compact 44mm outside diameter.

For machinery manufacturers and maintenance engineers, using the original 22mm bore configuration eliminates the need for shaft redesign, adapter solutions, or additional machining operations.

This helps customers:

• Reduce equipment modification costs

• Shorten bearing replacement downtime

• Maintain original mechanical design performance

• Improve maintenance efficiency

Key Features and Engineering Advantages

1. Special 22mm Bore Design for Direct Replacement

The 22mm bore provides a precise fit for equipment using non-standard shaft dimensions.

Compared with modifying shafts to fit common bearing sizes, the original 60/22 configuration helps maintain:

• Correct shaft tolerance

• Original assembly structure

• Proper load distribution

• Lower vibration risk

This makes the bearing suitable for OEM replacement projects and industrial maintenance applications.

2. 2RS Double Rubber Sealing Protection

The bearing uses a double-sided rubber seal design to prevent contaminants from entering the raceway system.

Advantages include:

• Improved dust protection

• Resistance against moisture and splash contamination

• Reduced grease leakage

• Longer maintenance intervals

The sealed structure makes the bearing suitable for equipment operating in environments with dust, humidity, or occasional liquid exposure.

3. C3 Increased Internal Clearance

The C3 internal clearance provides additional radial clearance between rolling elements and raceways.

Compared with standard clearance bearings, C3 bearings are better suited for applications involving:

• Higher operating temperatures

• Thermal expansion

• Continuous running conditions

• Higher rotational speeds

The additional clearance helps prevent excessive preload and improves operational reliability.

Why Use 60/22 Instead of Modifying the Shaft?

In some maintenance situations, engineers may consider machining shafts to fit standard bearings such as 6004 (20mm bore) or 6005 (25mm bore).

However, shaft modification may introduce:

• Reduced shaft strength

• Incorrect bearing fit

• Additional vibration

• Higher maintenance costs

Using the original 60/22-2RS C3 bearing maintains the equipment's original dimensional design and avoids unnecessary mechanical changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the 60/22-2RS C3 bearing?

The dimensions are:

22mm × 44mm × 12mm
(Bore Diameter × Outer Diameter × Width)

What does C3 mean on a bearing?

C3 means the bearing has increased internal radial clearance compared with standard clearance bearings.

It allows additional space for:

• Thermal expansion

• Higher operating temperatures

• Continuous operation conditions

Is 60/22-2RS C3 a standard bearing?

The 60/22 series is considered a special dimension bearing because the 22mm bore size is less common than standard metric sizes such as:

• 6004 bearing → 20mm bore

• 6005 bearing → 25mm bore

It is commonly used for OEM equipment replacement and customized machinery applications.
