When you need a bearing that keeps contaminants out and stays put in the housing, the SKF ZNR series deep groove ball bearing is a practical choice. The ZNR suffix means the bearing has a metal shield and a retaining ring on the outer ring. The shield blocks dust and keeps grease in, while the ring locks the bearing axially in place. This eliminates the need for separate side covers or other retention hardware.
Reading the part number helps you order correctly. In a code like 6002-2ZNR, the 6002 is the basic bearing number, which tells you the size and series. The 2Z means there are two metal shields, one on each side. The NR indicates a groove in the outer ring with a snap ring installed. That ring acts as an axial stop when the bearing sits in a through-bore housing.
These bearings are common in small electric motors, gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, and agricultural equipment. They work well where the inside of the bearing must stay clean and dry, and where you also need to fix the axial position. Maintenance teams in food processing, textiles, and metalworking often use them when replacing bearings in imported or domestic machinery.
Choosing the right bearing depends on load, speed, and operating environment. The 2Z shield does not touch the inner ring, so it allows higher speeds than a contacting seal. However, it offers less protection against moisture. Make sure your housing has the groove for the retaining ring, and check that the shaft tolerance is correct. These bearings come pre-lubricated for life. If you plan to relubricate, consider a version with removable shields or seals instead. Proper alignment between shaft and housing is essential to avoid extra loads.
Interchangeability is possible with other brands if the dimensions and protection type match. For example, an SKF bearing can be replaced by an equivalent from another manufacturer, but always confirm the dimensions and the retaining ring style before swapping. MR supplies SKF bearings and can help you find the right replacement.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6212-ZNR bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6212-ZNR measures 60 mm across the bore and 110 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 22 mm (60 x 110 x 22 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6212.
- What does the ZNR suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The Z stands for a metal shield (or two shields if it is 2Z), and NR means the outer ring has a groove with a retaining ring. This design protects against contaminants and allows the bearing to be fixed axially in the housing.
- Can a 2ZNR bearing be relubricated?
- These bearings are lubricated for life. If you need to relubricate, choose a version with removable seals or provide an external lubrication system. The 2Z shield is not made for frequent relubrication.
- How can I tell if the 6203-2ZNR bearing will fit my equipment?
- Check the shaft and housing dimensions, the load type, and the speed. If they match the bearing's specifications, it will fit.
