Ball Bearing 6207 ZZ — single-row deep groove, metal shielded (ZZ), No name

Single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6207 ZZ with metal shields on both sides (ZZ). This bearing is designed to support radial loads in rotating machinery and to provide low-friction rotation with the ability to accommodate some axial loads in both directions. Metal shields help reduce ingress of dust and light contamination while allowing higher-speed operation compared with sealed types. The bearing is suitable for general industrial equipment, electric motors, conveyors and replacement applications where a compact, reliable rolling element is required.

Advantages

The metal-shielded design offers protection against dust and light particles without significantly increasing operating friction, enabling smoother rotation and longer service intervals compared with open bearings. As a single-row deep-groove type, the bearing supports combined radial and limited axial loads in both directions and is suitable for high-speed applications within its load ratings. The standardized geometry and common dimensions make it straightforward to replace existing bearings and compatible with typical housings and shafts.

Suitable for

• Electric motors and pumps
• Conveyor rollers and material handling equipment
• General rotating machinery and gear assemblies
• Maintenance and spare-part replacements

Key specifications

• Bearing type: single-row deep-groove ball bearing
• Shielding: metal shields on both sides (ZZ)
• Load capability: designed for radial loads, supports limited axial loads in both directions
• Friction: low-friction running compared with open bearings
• Operating speed: suitable for medium to high rotational speeds within rated limits
• Typical applications: motors, conveyors, industrial rotating equipment

How to use

Select the 6207 ZZ bearing ensuring shaft and housing fits match the bearing's dimensional standards. Clean mating surfaces and apply the appropriate lubricant if the bearing is not pre-lubricated; metal-shielded bearings often require periodic relubrication depending on operating conditions. Press or fit the bearing onto the shaft using a sleeve or tool that applies force to the inner ring only to avoid damaging the raceways. Ensure correct axial positioning and secure any retaining components before commissioning the equipment.

Usage recommendations

Operate the bearing within the manufacturer’s recommended load and speed limits, monitor temperature and vibration during initial run-in, and establish a relubrication schedule based on operating environment. Avoid direct exposure to heavy contamination or high-pressure washing to preserve the effectiveness of the metal shields.
