When you are comparing bearings for a drivetrain or motion-control job, the first thing to settle is which geometry your machine needs: a stud-mounted cam follower or a sealed bearing that drops into a bore. These two listings sit at different price points, so the decision comes down to part type, condition, and listed specs.
Quick verdict
Both listings are legitimate options for the right application. The RBC S48L lot gives you six cam follower roller bearings at a $40 listed price. The SS6206-2RS is a sealed stainless bearing in the 6200 series at a $97.70 listed price. If your job calls for a stud-type cam follower, the RBC S48L lot is the direct match. If your job calls for a sealed stainless bearing with 6200-series dimensions, the SS6206-2RS is the direct match.

The RBC S48L lot is the better direction when your machine is set up for a stud-mounted cam follower. The SS6206-2RS is the better direction when you need a sealed stainless bearing in the 6200 family.
Product notes
RBC BearingCompany Industrial Cam Follower Roller Bearings, PN# S48L
The RBC S48L is a stud-type cam follower bearing with a flat roller. The listed specs put the roller diameter and stud diameter at 1.5000 inches each, which gives you a matched geometry for track or guide applications. The description identifies one lot of six bearings in original RBC boxes that were opened, and the sale is as-is with no warranty, no returns, and no refunds. That makes the open-box condition the trade-off you accept for having six units of part number S48L in one lot. If the 1.5000-inch roller and stud sizes fit your bracket, this is a way to supply several positions from a single purchase. Just be clear that you are buying on the part number and dimensions, not on sealed packaging or after-purchase recourse.
Industrial Roller Bearings - Stainless Sealed SS6206-2RS 6200 ABEC (10/pack
The SS6206-2RS is a sealed stainless bearing from the 6200 series. Its listed dimensions are a 30 mm bore, 62 mm outer diameter, and 16 mm width, with ABEC 1 tolerance. The double rubber seal is the main protection feature, and the bearing is presented as new. For a replacement in the 6200 envelope, the part number and dimensional specs give you a clear compatibility check. The limitation is that this is not a stud-type cam follower, so it won't substitute for the RBC S48L in a stud-mounted track application; it is built for a bore-mounted bearing position. If the 30 mm bore and 62 mm OD line up with your housing, this is a straightforward sealed stainless option to compare against your existing part.
Final choice by use case
Choose the RBC S48L lot when the mounting calls for a stud-type cam follower. Choose the SS6206-2RS when your housing takes a 6200-series sealed stainless bearing.
