What are the dimensions of a 629 bearing?

How it is worked out

1. Type6 → deep-groove ball bearing
2. Series2 → series 62 · light · dimension series 02
3. Bore code9 → 9 mm (miniature: the last digit is the bore)

d = bore code × 5 mm (04+) · 00 = 10 · 01 = 12 · 02 = 15 · 03 = 17 mm

Worth knowing

In inches

0.354 × 1.024 × 0.315 in. A metric bearing: inch-series bearings (R8, 1600…) do not fit the same shaft.

2RS · 2RS1 · 2RSH · DDU · LLU

Rubber seal on both sides, greased for life. Best against dirt and water, slightly more drag. The same bearing by brand: SKF 629-2RSH or -2RS1, FAG 629-2RSR, NSK 629DDU, NTN 629LLU.

ZZ · 2Z · 2ZR

Metal shield on both sides. Less friction and more speed than a seal, but not watertight. SKF 629-2Z, FAG 629-2ZR, NSK and NTN 629ZZ.

RS · Z

Seal (RS) or shield (Z) on one side only, the other side open: for bearings fed oil or grease by the machine.

C3

Internal clearance larger than normal. Standard on electric motors and wherever the shaft runs hot or the fit is tight. Replace a C3 with a C3.

Interchangeable?

Yes. ISO 15 fixes the bore, outside diameter and width, so a 629 from any maker fits the same shaft and housing. Seals, cage, clearance and quality are what differ.
