FAG S6202-HLC 15x35x11 mm - Stainless Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearing

FAG S6202-HLC is a single-row stainless steel deep groove ball bearing with dimensions of 15x35x11 mm. It belongs to the corrosion-resistant S62 series and has an open design without seals on either side. The S designation identifies the stainless steel, corrosion-resistant execution, while HLC is a Schaeffler logistics code rather than a designation for sealing, internal clearance or cage design.

Technical data - FAG S6202-HLC

What does FAG S6202-HLC mean?

The complete product designation is:

S6202-HLC

Each element helps identify the specific bearing execution.

S - corrosion-resistant stainless steel execution used for this FAG bearing family.

6202 - basic designation of the single-row deep groove ball bearing size.

02 - bore code corresponding to a nominal bore diameter of 15 mm.

HLC - Schaeffler logistics code. It should not be interpreted as a sealing designation, internal clearance class or special cage design.

The absence of the 2RSR suffix means that this S6202-HLC is an open bearing.

FAG S6202-HLC dimensions

The principal dimensions are:

• d = 15 mm

• D = 35 mm

• B = 11 mm

Therefore, the bearing measures:

15x35x11 mm

These dimensions correspond to the standard 6202 dimensional size, but the material and exact bearing execution must also be considered when selecting a replacement.

Matching dimensions of 15x35x11 mm alone do not guarantee complete interchangeability with every 6202 bearing.

Construction of FAG S6202-HLC

S6202-HLC is a single-row deep groove ball bearing.

Its construction includes:

• inner ring

• outer ring

• single row of balls

• cage

• deep raceway grooves

• open design without seals

The deep raceway geometry enables the bearing to accommodate primarily radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions within the operating limits of this bearing type.

The corrosion-resistant material execution distinguishes the S6202-HLC from a conventional 6202 manufactured from standard bearing steel.

Stainless steel S execution

One of the most important characteristics of FAG S6202-HLC is its corrosion-resistant stainless steel execution.

This version can be considered for bearing arrangements where conventional bearing steel would be more susceptible to corrosion due to moisture, water or other environmental conditions.

Corrosion resistance does not mean resistance to every chemical substance or aggressive medium.

For chemically demanding applications, compatibility between the bearing materials and the actual operating environment should be verified.

Open bearing design

FAG S6202-HLC is an open bearing.

It does not have 2RSR contact seals on both sides.

The open construction provides direct access to the bearing interior and requires the lubrication method and protection against contamination to be considered as part of the complete bearing arrangement.

This version should not be confused with:

S6202-2RSR-HLC

which is sealed on both sides.

FAG S6202-HLC vs S6202-2RSR-HLC

Both versions have the same principal dimensions:

15x35x11 mm

However, their construction differs.

S6202-HLC

• open bearing

• no 2RSR seals

• corrosion-resistant stainless steel execution

S6202-2RSR-HLC

• contact seals on both sides

• seals provide additional protection for the bearing interior

• corrosion-resistant stainless steel execution

The correct version should therefore not be selected solely on the basis of dimensions.

FAG S6202-HLC vs standard 6202

A standard 6202 and S6202-HLC have the same principal dimensions of 15x35x11 mm and belong to the same basic dimensional size.

The important difference is the material execution.

S6202-HLC is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel version.

A conventional 6202 is normally manufactured from standard bearing steel.

Where corrosion-resistant material is a requirement of the application, a conventional 6202 should not automatically be treated as an equivalent replacement.

Load carrying capability

FAG S6202-HLC is a deep groove ball bearing designed primarily to accommodate radial loads.

The deep raceway geometry also enables it to accommodate axial loads acting in both directions within the limits of this bearing design.

Confirmed load ratings for S6202-HLC are:

C = 6490 N

C0 = 2980 N

These ratings should not automatically be transferred to other 6202 variants simply because their principal dimensions are identical.

Selection and interchangeability

Before replacing S6202-HLC with another bearing, verify:

• complete designation

• dimensions 15x35x11 mm

• stainless steel execution

• open or sealed design

• radial internal clearance

• cage design and material

• dynamic load rating

• static load rating

• permissible speed

• operating temperature

• lubrication method

• corrosion resistance required by the application

Particular attention should be paid to the difference between S6202-HLC, conventional 6202 bearings and the sealed S6202-2RSR-HLC version.

Identical dimensions do not guarantee identical operating characteristics.

Typical applications of stainless steel deep groove ball bearings

Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings are used where normal bearing functionality must be combined with increased resistance to corrosion.

Typical operating environments for this bearing type may include arrangements exposed to:

• increased humidity

• contact with water

• frequent equipment washing

• conditions where conventional bearing steel would be more susceptible to corrosion

These are typical application conditions for corrosion-resistant bearings and do not confirm FAG S6202-HLC as an OEM bearing for any particular machine or equipment model.

Mounting FAG S6202-HLC

Before installation, thoroughly clean the shaft, housing bore and mounting surfaces.

Check:

• required shaft and housing fits

• shaft condition

• housing condition

• alignment

• lubrication method

• protection of the open bearing against contamination

Where an interference fit is used, mounting force should be applied directly to the ring being fitted.

Mounting force should never be transmitted through the balls and raceways, as this can damage the bearing surfaces.

Storage

Store the bearing in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment until installation.

Despite its stainless steel execution, the bearing should be protected against:

• contamination

• aggressive chemicals

• mechanical damage

• unsuitable storage conditions

The packaging should preferably be opened immediately before installation.
