Description

NSK R 188 ZZ belongs to deep groove ball bearing, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for R 188 ZZ and any equivalents.

The NSK R ZZ series is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with metal shields on both sides, built to handle moderate radial and axial loads in either direction. It suits equipment that needs low maintenance and protection from dust and dirt. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series to customers across the United States and Latin America, quoting by part number through WhatsApp or email.

Reading the designation helps you order correctly. The R stands for NSK's Inch Series, so all dimensions are in inches. The number after it indicates the size within that series. The ZZ suffix means two metal shields, one on each side, that keep contaminants out of the bearing. For instance, R 6 ZZ is an R series bearing with shields on both sides. Each part number carries its own dimensions, which we provide with your quote.

These bearings appear in food processing, textile, packaging and precision machinery where space is tight and loads are moderate. In the US and Latin America, you will find them in small electric motors, fans, pumps, conveyors and laboratory equipment. The metal shields make them suitable for dusty or particle-laden environments, but they are not intended for immersion.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and rotation speed. The ZZ shield is non-contacting, so it permits higher speeds than a rubber seal but retains less lubricant. During mounting, check alignment of shaft and housing, and avoid striking the shields. Bearings come pre-lubricated from the factory; if relubrication is needed, contact us for guidance.

NSK R ZZ series bearings can be interchanged with other brands that use the same Inch series nomenclature, such as the 1600 or 6000 series in inches. Always confirm the critical dimensions: bore, outer diameter and width. If you have a part number from another brand, we can identify the compatible equivalent. MR Industrial Accessories LLC helps you choose the right part.
