SKF 6202-2Z Metal Shielded Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing 15x35x11mm

The SKF 6202-2Z double shielded deep groove ball bearing is engineered for reliable rotational performance in equipment using a 15mm diameter shaft. Its standard 62 series design combines an 11mm width with a 35mm outside diameter, offering a practical balance of compact dimensions and load capacity. The single row deep groove raceways accommodate radial loads together with axial forces in either direction, within the bearing's rated limits. SKF specifications give a basic dynamic load rating of 8.06kN and a basic static load rating of 3.75kN, making the bearing suitable for a wide range of lightly to moderately loaded rotating assemblies. Its SKF Explorer construction is designed to support consistent running performance, particularly where vibration, noise and efficient rotation are important.

The 2Z suffix identifies two non-contact metal shields, one fitted to each side of the bearing. These shields help retain the factory-applied grease and limit the entry of larger contaminants without the continuous rubbing contact associated with 2RS1 or 2RSH rubber seals. Consequently, the SKF 6202-2Z is a useful option for relatively clean, higher-speed environments, although it provides less protection against water and fine dust than a contact-sealed equivalent. SKF lists a limiting speed of 22,000rpm for this configuration; actual operating conditions must also account for load, temperature and lubrication. The bearing has normal (CN) radial internal clearance and a sheet steel cage. When replacing an existing bearing, confirm whether the machinery requires the lower-friction 2Z shielded version or a rubber-sealed alternative.
