and just to share a little trivia: the "RS" stands for rubber seal, usually a bearing supplier will have the series number bearing available in either 1RS or 2RS, meaning sealed on 1 side or 2. if the number is followed by "Z", it's shielded: a metal shield that clips into the body but doesn't offer as much protection from the elements as the spring-steel-covered-with-rubber seal.
