Ball bearing 6002 ZZ — single-row deep groove, metal shields on both sides

The Ball bearing 6002 ZZ is a single-row deep groove bearing with metal shields on both sides (ZZ). It is designed to support radial loads in rotating assemblies such as electric motors, gearboxes, pumps and fans. The metal shields reduce the ingress of coarse contaminants while allowing low-friction rotation, making the bearing suitable for applications that require protection from debris without full sealing or lubrication filling.

Advantages

This single-row deep groove design provides stable radial load capacity and quiet operation at moderate speeds. Metal shields on both sides offer protection against dust and larger particles while maintaining minimal drag compared with contact seals. The bearing's simple construction permits straightforward installation and replacement in standard housings and shafts, and it is compatible with common maintenance practices for greased bearings.

Suitable for

• Electric motors and small drive units
• Gearboxes and transmission assemblies
• Pumps and fan shafts
• Light industrial machinery and general rotating equipment

Key specifications

• Type: single-row deep groove ball bearing with metal shields on both sides
• Shielding: non-contact metal shields (ZZ) on both sides
• Load orientation: primarily radial load support
• Operating characteristic: low friction, suitable for moderate-speed rotation
• Service conditions: protected or semi-protected environments where exclusion of coarse contamination is required

How to use

Install the bearing onto a clean, correctly sized shaft and into a compatible housing to ensure proper fit and alignment. Handle the bearing with clean tools and hands to avoid introducing contaminants. If additional lubrication is required, apply a suitable grease compatible with the bearing and operating temperature; follow standard bearing mounting and removal procedures to avoid excessive preload or misalignment. Verify axial and radial clearances after installation and ensure the assembly is balanced before full-speed operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 6002 ZZ bearing in environments where moderate protection from dust and debris is sufficient and where periodic maintenance or regreasing is possible. Avoid exposing the bearing to heavy contamination, aggressive chemicals, or continuous high-humidity conditions without additional sealing or protection.
