Raymond Sealed Ball Bearing 6204-2RS-12 – GP-2235

A 6204-2RS sealed ball bearing with a 3/4 inch bore, a 47 mm outside diameter, and a 14 mm width, cataloged by Raymond. The 12 suffix on the 6204-2RS denotes the 3/4 inch bore, an inch-bore variant of the standard 6204 metric bearing, which matters because the bore must match the shaft it rides on exactly.

The 2RS designation means rubber seals on both sides, holding grease in and keeping contamination out, which suits the dusty, debris-laden environment a lift truck bearing runs in. As a sealed bearing it develops play, noise, or drag once the seals wear and the grease is contaminated, the signal to replace it. Because it is built to the 6204 footprint with a 3/4 inch bore, it fits any position designed for a 6204-2RS-12. Match the bore, outside diameter, and width to the bearing being replaced, and note the 3/4 inch bore specifically, since the standard metric 6204 will not fit the same shaft.
