The 6010 ZZ deep groove ball bearing is a high-quality, double shielded bearing designed for industrial applications that require reliable performance, dimensional stability, and protection against solid contaminants. As a single-row deep groove ball bearing with metal shields on both sides (ZZ), this bearing is ideal for applications operating in relatively clean environments where high rotational accuracy and long service life are essential.
The 6010 ZZ bearing is engineered to handle high radial loads along with moderate axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile and dependable solution for a wide range of industrial and mechanical systems.
Precision Engineering and Shielded Bearing Design
The 6010 ZZ bearing is manufactured with precision-ground inner and outer rings and high-grade steel balls to ensure smooth rotation, low friction, and reduced vibration. Its deep groove raceway geometry provides excellent load distribution, minimizing internal stress and heat generation during operation.
Equipped with double metal shields, the bearing is protected against the ingress of dust and solid particles while allowing higher operating speeds compared to sealed bearings. Unlike rubber seals, metal shields do not make contact with the inner ring, which helps maintain efficient rotation and stable performance at higher speeds. This design makes the 6010 ZZ bearing suitable for applications where lubrication is retained and contamination levels are moderate.
Technical Specifications of 6010 ZZ Ball Bearing
The 6010 ZZ deep groove ball bearing features an inner diameter of 50 mm, an outer diameter of 80 mm, and a width of 16 mm. With an approximate weight of 0.26 kg, the bearing offers a strong and balanced structure suitable for medium to heavy-duty industrial applications.
In terms of load capacity, the bearing provides a dynamic load rating of 22.2 kN and a static load rating of 15 kN, enabling it to operate reliably under substantial radial loads while maintaining stable axial load support.
Regarding speed capability, the 6010 ZZ bearing can operate at speeds of up to 8,350 revolutions per minute when grease-lubricated and up to 10,000 revolutions per minute when oil-lubricated. The non-contact metal shields allow higher speed performance compared to sealed versions while still offering effective protection against contamination.
Typical Applications
Due to its double shielded design and stable operating characteristics, the 6010 ZZ deep groove ball bearing is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications, including:
-
Electric motors and industrial generators
-
Gearboxes and transmission units
-
Industrial fans and blowers
-
Conveyor systems and material handling equipment
-
Pumps and compressors
-
General industrial machinery
