SKF ZTN deep groove ball bearings are single-row components that feature metal shields on both sides. They suit moderate-speed applications with combined loads where keeping lubricant in and particles out matters. Common in industrial machinery, power tools, and general equipment, these bearings are available through MR Industrial Accessories, where we help you match the right part number to your application.
The part number tells you the size and protection details. The base number covers bore and section, while suffixes define shielding and cage. For instance, 6000-ZTN9, 6002-ZTN9, 6201-ZTN9, and 6202-ZTN9 all share the ZTN9 suffix: Z means metal shields on both sides, and TN9 indicates a fiberglass-reinforced polyamide cage. This setup is typical for small and medium cross-section bearings.
You will find these bearings in small electric motors, fans, centrifugal pumps, light reducers, power tools, and transmission systems. They handle dusty or moderately humid conditions by protecting the lubricant, which helps extend service life without external lubrication. However, Z shields are not hermetic; for liquids or fine contaminants, consider a contact seal.
Selection depends on shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial, or combined), and the environment. Proper mounting with the right tools, avoiding impacts on the rings, and ensuring alignment between shaft and housing are critical. Factory lubrication typically lasts for the bearing's normal service life.
When replacing, deep groove ball bearings with shields from different brands may have similar designations, but suffixes vary. There is no universal cross-reference because each manufacturer uses its own letters for cage, clearance, and protection. The safest approach is to compare main dimensions and execution type, and consult a specialist if the part number does not match exactly.
