For equipment exposed to moisture and dust, SKF offers deep groove ball bearings in the 62 series with the 2Z and VC suffixes. The 2Z designation means two metal shields, one per side, that keep grease in and coarse particles out. The VC suffix refers to a surface treatment that enhances corrosion resistance. This combination suits many industrial drives and rotating assemblies.

Reading the code helps you order the exact replacement. Take 6202-2Z/VC4862: 6202 is the basic size in the 62 series, a medium-section bearing with a standard outside diameter and width. The 2Z part tells you there are two metal shields. VC indicates the corrosion-resistant treatment, and 4862 pinpoints the treatment variant. The same logic applies to 6203-2Z/VC4862, where 6203 is the larger basic size. Always include all suffixes when specifying.

These bearings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, machine tools and various process units. Food, chemical and petrochemical plants use them, as does the metalworking sector. They handle moderate radial and axial loads, and the 2Z shields make them suitable where dust or humidity is present. Refrigeration equipment and automotive applications also rely on them.

Selection depends on load, speed and the operating environment. The 2Z shields retain grease well and block particles, but they are not watertight; if liquids are a concern, consider variants with rubber seals. Standard internal clearance (CN) fits most cases. High temperatures or interference fits may call for greater clearance. These bearings come with lifetime lubrication, which reduces maintenance. During mounting, align carefully and avoid impacts that could damage the raceways.

Deep groove ball bearings with 2Z protection from different manufacturers can be interchangeable when bore, outside diameter, width and protection type match. SKF is a well-known reference, and other options exist. Check the full code, including suffixes, because a different seal or clearance can change performance.
