What does the 2RS designation mean on a bearing?

2RS indicates the bearing has rubber contact seals on both sides. These seals retain grease and exclude contaminants, making the bearing maintenance-free for the life of the part. This is the most common sealing choice for gearbox rebuild applications.

Is the KBS 6005-2RS equivalent to branded bearings like SKF or NSK?

The KBS 6005-2RS is manufactured to ISO 15:2011 and ABMA tolerances and is dimensionally interchangeable with any other manufacturer's 6005-2RS bearing. For applications requiring OE brand specification, please contact us to discuss alternatives.

What is the difference between 6005-2RS and 6005-RS?

A 6005-RS bearing has a seal on one side only, while 6005-2RS has seals on both sides. For most gearbox rebuild applications, the 2RS (sealed both sides) version is preferred for maximum contamination exclusion.

Can the 6005-2RS bearing be washed or re-greased?

No — the 2RS rubber seals are not intended for removal. The bearing is factory-greased and maintenance-free for its service life. Attempting to remove the seals risks damage. If contaminated, the bearing should be replaced.

How do I check if a bearing needs replacing during a gearbox rebuild?

Spin the bearing by hand — it should rotate smoothly with no roughness, clicking, or binding. Check for any axial play and inspect the outer race for pitting or scoring. Any doubt at this cost level means replace it.
