This deep-groove ball bearing supports a rotating shaft within a housing, handling both radial and moderate axial loads. It is a single-row, double-sealed bearing with a C3 internal clearance, meaning the radial internal clearance is greater than normal to accommodate thermal expansion or press-fit conditions in the host tractor or vehicle assembly. The 2RS designation indicates contact seals on both sides, which retain grease and exclude contaminants, making this a maintenance-free, pre-lubricated unit. A bearing with excessive wear produces audible rumble or vibration at the shaft, and in a driveline or gearbox application this can lead to misalignment and accelerated wear of adjacent gears or seals. The manufacturer's original specification for the seal lip geometry and grease fill is matched to the housing bore, so a direct replacement preserves the correct running clearance and seal contact without re-engineering the fit.
