6006-Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6006-Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding applications. Engineered with shielded construction, it effectively protects against contaminant ingress while retaining lubrication. This bearing is characterized by its high precision P6 tolerance class and optimized radial internal clearance (CN group), making it an ideal choice for applications requiring smooth operation, high rotational accuracy, and reliable performance under radial loads. Its compact design and pre-lubrication ensure easy installation and long-term, maintenance-free operation.
6006-Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| -Z | Denotes a non-contact shield on one side of the bearing. This provides effective protection against coarse contaminants while minimizing friction and heat generation, contributing to the bearing's high limiting speed. |
6006-Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to P6 tolerance class with a CN radial internal clearance, this bearing delivers superior running accuracy and stable rotational characteristics, essential for precision machinery.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 3102 lbf and a static load rating of 1866 lbf, it is engineered to handle significant radial loads reliably over its service life.
- Optimized High-Speed Performance: The combination of a stainless steel cage, a low-friction shield, and pre-applied grease enables a high limiting speed of 17,000 rpm.
- Long-Term Reliability & Low Maintenance: The shielded design and factory-applied grease lubrication seal in the lubricant and seal out debris, ensuring extended service intervals and reduced maintenance needs.
- Premium Material Construction: The use of chrome steel for rings and balls, combined with a stainless steel cage, provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance.
