62/22 Bearing Dimensions

Tolerances and fits for 62/22

FULI makes 62/22 to P0 as standard, with P6 on request. P0 is the Normal tolerance class of ISO 492; P6 limits are tighter. These are the P0 limits for the 22 × 50 × 14 mm size.

Δdmp and ΔDmp: deviation of the mean bore and mean outside diameter in one radial plane. ΔBs: inner ring width; the outer ring width has the same limits.

Shaft and housing fits (general guidance)

For an inner ring that turns with a solid steel shaft under normal load, bearing makers’ fit tables give 22 k5 for the shaft of 62/22. The housing bore is usually H7, or J7 where the outer ring must not creep.

Taking the loosest and the tightest combination of limits, a P0 62/22 on a 22 mm k5 shaft has 2 to 21 µm interference. Its outer ring has 0 to 36 µm clearance in an H7 bore and 11 µm interference to 25 µm clearance in a J7 bore.

This is general guidance, not a FULI specification. Heavy or shock loads, a hollow shaft, a thin-walled, split or light-alloy housing, or a large temperature difference between shaft and housing call for other classes, and the drawing of your machine takes priority. A tight shaft fit or a hot housing uses up internal clearance, and that is when C3 is chosen instead of C0.

If the outer ring turns and the shaft stands still, as in an idler pulley or a wheel hub, the fits are reversed: the housing gets the interference fit (for example N7 or P7) and the shaft a sliding one (g6 or h6).

62/22 compared with nearby sizes

62/22 measures 22 × 50 × 14 mm: bore d, outside diameter D and width B. Other deep groove ball bearings on this site for the same 22 mm shaft are 60/22 (22 × 44 × 12 mm) and 63/22 (22 × 56 × 16 mm).

63/22 is the next heavier choice for a 22 mm shaft, with an outside diameter 6 mm larger (56 mm) and 2 mm more width (16 mm). In FULI's catalog 63/22 has a dynamic load rating of 16.56 kN against 11.61 kN and a weight of about 0.179 kg against 0.119 kg for 62/22.

60/22 is the lighter option on the same shaft, with an outside diameter 6 mm smaller (44 mm) and 2 mm less width (12 mm), for housings with less room. In FULI's catalog 60/22 has a dynamic load rating of 8.46 kN against 11.61 kN and a weight of about 0.074 kg against 0.119 kg for 62/22.

In the 62 (light) series the sizes either side of 62/22 are 6204 for a 20 mm shaft and 6205 for a 25 mm shaft.

62/22 weight, load ratings and speed

FULI's catalog gives the weight of 62/22 as about 0.119 kg, so 100 bearings weigh about 11.9 kg and 1,000 about 119 kg before packing. The open, ZZ and 2RS versions share this catalog line.

62/22 has a dynamic load rating Cr of 11.61 kN and a static load rating C0r of 5.84 kN. Cr is the load used to work out rating life; C0r is the reference for loads carried while the bearing is stationary or turning slowly. Limiting speeds in the catalog are 13,000 rpm with grease and 16,000 rpm with oil.

Contact seals add friction at the lip, so 62/22-2RS usually runs below the speed of the open bearing. Ask us for the limit of the version you order.

62/22 versions: open, ZZ, 2RS and C3

Every version of 62/22 has the same 22 × 50 × 14 mm boundary dimensions; only the cover between the rings and the internal clearance change. FULI supplies open, ZZ and 2RS versions, with C0 clearance as standard and C3 on request. Other makers write the same covers as 2Z or ZZ for shields and 2RS1, DDU or LLU for contact seals.

62/22 dimensions in inches

The nearest common inch shaft size to the 22 mm bore of 62/22 is 7/8 in (22.23 mm), 0.23 mm larger than the bore, so 62/22 will not go on it. Inch shafts need an inch bearing, not a metric one with a sleeve or shim.

Converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to four decimals. The bearing itself is made to the millimetre sizes.

Grease for 62/22

FULI fills sealed 62/22-2RS and 62/22-ZZ bearings to about 30% of the free internal space as standard. The fill is set on an automatic greasing machine after sample sets are weighed before and after greasing. Sealed bearings are not regreased in service. A different fill level, a low-noise grease or a grease for a stated temperature range can be written on the order; for North America a range of −40 to 120 °C is often asked for.

Relubricating 62/22 from the side takes about 3.50 g each time by the formula in our grease calculator: 0.005 × D × B = 0.005 × 50 × 14. This applies to the open 62/22 in a housing with a grease supply.

How FULI supplies 62/22

The standard 62/22 from FULI has GCr15 chrome steel rings and balls, P0 precision, C0 radial clearance and vibration grade Z3V3; P6, C3 and other vibration grades are made on request. Radial clearance is set on automatic assembly equipment and sampled during production. Orders with a noise or vibration requirement are tested set by set before packing.

Rings are marked with a brand you are authorised to use, with the FULI brand, or left neutral, as your order states. The box is printed with the model, precision class and brand.

Inquiries that leave out the prefix or suffix letters are the usual cause of a wrong quote, so write the full designation, for example 62/22-2RS C3.
