Quick take
Choosing a bearing for power transmission or industrial equipment starts with three questions: what bore size fits the shaft, how much contamination protection you need, and how many pieces you want in one order. The four listings here range from $14.19 to $97.70, so the decision is also a budget decision. A 10-pack of sealed 6202-2RS bearings is the entry point, while a 10-pack of stainless SS6206-2RS bearings sits at the top of the range.

Product notes
10 Vintage FAFNIR 36KDD Ball Bearings
This set of ten FAFNIR 36KDD bearings is listed as new old stock from the United States. The product type is precision ball, and the double-shielded layout gives you a different protection profile than rubber-sealed bearings. If the FAFNIR name and the exact 36KDD part number matter for your maintenance shelf, this is the only listing in this comparison with that specific combination. The trade-off is price: at $65.00, it costs more than the 6202-2RS 10-pack below it. You are not paying for a rubber seal here; you are choosing a shielded precision ball design with a specific part number.
6202-2RS Rubber Seal Ball Bearings 10 Pack
This ten-piece set is the low-priced entry point in the group. Each bearing is a 6202-2RS deep-groove ball bearing with rubber seals on both sides, a 15mm bore, a 35mm outside diameter, and an 11mm width. The 8060 N dynamic load rating and 13000 r/min limiting speed give concrete performance parameters to weigh against the price. Low-noise operation is part of the listing title, which fits maintenance and light industrial uses. The limitation is the fixed 15mm bore: if your shaft needs a 30mm bore, this pack will not work. For ten sealed bearings at the bottom of the price range, it is the most direct cost-conscious option.
AF6464 Commercial Grade AXIS Bearing
AXIS AF6464 is a steel bearing described as commercial grade and heavy duty industrial. The listing includes a 1-inch inside diameter, a 2-inch outside diameter, a 2.1875-inch flange diameter, and a 0.5-inch length through bore. That makes it a distinctly inch-based component rather than a metric bearing. If your equipment is built around inch dimensions, this fits that fitment world. The limitation is that it will not directly substitute for metric-bore bearings elsewhere, so it belongs in an inch-based maintenance plan.
Industrial Roller Bearings - Stainless Sealed SS6206-2RS
This top-of-range listing combines a 10-pack format with stainless steel construction. The 6200-series bearing has a 30mm bore, a 62mm outside diameter, a 16mm width, and a double rubber seal, and it carries an ABEC 1 rating. Stainless material and a double rubber seal give it a contamination-focused configuration. The limitation is the premium listed price: it is the most expensive item in this comparison, and the 30mm bore will not fit the smaller shaft sizes covered by the 6202-2RS set. If you need a larger stainless bearing in quantity, this is the one to weigh.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose the 6202-2RS Rubber Seal Ball Bearings 10 Pack when the priority is a low listed price for ten sealed bearings and the shaft is 15mm. Choose the Industrial Roller Bearings - Stainless Sealed SS6206-2RS when you want stainless construction and a 30mm bore in a multi-piece order. Choose the AF6464 Commercial Grade AXIS Bearing when the application calls for inch-based dimensions and a steel commercial-grade bearing. Choose the 10 Vintage FAFNIR 36KDD Ball Bearings when the FAFNIR part number and double-shielded precision ball design justify a higher listed price.
