Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Select shielded (ZZ) variants for environments with light contamination where pre-packed grease retention is the priority. Rubber-sealed (2RS) variants provide better dust and moisture exclusion for harsher environments. C3 internal clearance variants are recommended for elevated operating temperatures or interference-fit installations. Always match the bearing number to your OEM specification.
