What is the equivalent of a 7203-B-2RS-TVP bearing?

The 7203-B-2RS-TVP is a 17×40×12mm angular contact ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 7203A-2RS, Timken 7203-2RS, FAG 7203-B-2RS-TVP, SKF 7203 BE-2RZP. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 7203-B-2RS-TVP bearing?

The 7203-B-2RS-TVP bearing has a bore diameter of 17mm, outer diameter of 40mm, and width of 12mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 9.93 kN, static load rating of 5.54 kN, and weighs 64g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 17,000 rpm.

Can I replace a NTN 7203-B-2RS-TVP with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. NTN and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 7203-B-2RS-TVP (17×40×12mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (2RS) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.

Technical Details & Applications

Specification variations and common equipment types.

Internal Clearance

Normal Clearance (CN)

Standard radial internal clearance. Suitable for most applications under normal operating conditions.

TemperatureUp to ~70°C operating temperature

Seal Type

Rubber Sealed (2RS)

Rubber contact seals on both sides. Superior protection from contaminants. Pre-lubricated, maintenance-free.

Avoid forVery high-speed applications (seal friction limits top speed). Environments exceeding 110°C.
