They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

What is the KBS 6004-2RS used for in gearbox applications?
The 6004-2RS is a common general-purpose deep groove bearing used in manual gearbox and differential bearing positions where a 20mm bore, 42mm OD bearing with 2RS sealing is specified. It is used across a wide variety of transmission designs from various manufacturers.
Is the 6004-2RS the same size as a 6004-ZZ?
Yes — the 6004-2RS and 6004-ZZ are identical in dimensions (20x42x12mm). The difference is sealing type: 2RS uses rubber contact seals, while ZZ uses metal shields. For most gearbox applications, 2RS is preferred for better contamination exclusion.
How does the 6004-2RS differ from the 6005-2RS?
The 6004-2RS has a 20mm bore versus 25mm on the 6005-2RS. The outer diameters are also different (42mm vs 47mm). These two bearings are not interchangeable. See ET2825 for the 6005-2RS (25x47x12mm).
What quality standard does the KBS 6004-2RS meet?
KBS bearings are manufactured to ISO dimensional tolerances, making them dimensionally interchangeable with equivalent bearings from any major manufacturer. Suitable for general gearbox rebuild use where a cost-effective quality bearing is required.
How do I confirm this bearing fits my gearbox?
Measure the shaft diameter (bore) and housing bore from your existing bearing, or reference the bearing number from your workshop manual. The KBS 6004-2RS fits any application calling for a 20x42x12mm deep groove ball bearing.
