Lot of 12 Pcs. Wide-width cartridge deep groove ball bearings, 17 mm bore x 40 mm OD x 11/16 in (17.5 mm) wide, contact rubber seals both sides, factory greased. The extra width is deliberate — they do not swap for a standard 12 mm-wide 6203.

A lot of 12 pieces of NSK 63203DDU — single-row deep groove ball bearings from NSK’s wide-width “light cartridge” family, 17 mm bore by 40 mm outside diameter, 11/16 in (about 17.5 mm) wide, sealed on both sides with contact rubber seals and pre-greased. The cartridge series keeps the familiar 6203 bore and outside diameter but widens both rings, which is how bolt-in cartridge housings, farm and turf gearboxes and idler assemblies get a wider seat and more ring support in the same diameter.
6 – single-row deep groove ball bearing32 – NSK wide-width cartridge prefix applied to the 02 series envelope03 – bore code, 17 mm boreDDU – contact rubber seals on both sides (NSK scheme). DU would be one seal, VV non-contact rubber, ZZ metal shieldsNo clearance suffix – normal (CN) radial internal clearance; a 63203DDUC3 is the greater-clearance variant and a different part
63203-2RS is the common industry equivalent designation for the same closure. The trailing X28 seen on some cartons for this item is carried as a searchable reference only.
DDU is the closure to get right. Contact rubber seals rub on the inner ring, so they hold out dust, washdown spray and grit far better than metal shields, and the bearing arrives pre-greased and closed for life. The cost is slightly more running torque and a lower speed ceiling than a shielded ZZ or a non-contact VV. A ZZ is not a substitute in a wet or dirty duty, and an open bearing is not a substitute at all — it arrives dry and leaves sealing to the housing.
The width is the other trap. This is 11/16 in wide against 12 mm on a standard 6203. Fit a 6203 into a 63203 seat and the inner ring will not clamp; fit a 63203 where a 6203 belongs and it will not go in. Measure the width before ordering.

Sold as one lot of 12 Pcs — twelve bearings for the price of a bulk buy. Bearings only: no housings, no cartridges, no collars.
Press on the ring being fitted and never through the balls, or the seal lips and the ball path both take the load. These are sealed for life; do not try to grease through the seals. Keep the seal faces clean on assembly — a rolled lip lets contamination straight in.
Genuine interchanges are same-envelope wide cartridge bearings with contact seals both sides: 63203-2RS, Koyo 63203-2RS, NTN 63203LLU and Fafnir/Timken wide-inner cartridge bearings of matching width. A 6203DDU (12 mm wide), a 63203ZZ (metal shields) and a 63203DDUC3 (greater clearance) are related parts, not drop-in equivalents.
