6700HZZ EZO 10x15x4 mm - Stainless Steel Thin-Section Deep Groove Ball Bearing

6700HZZ EZO 10x15x4 mm - Stainless Steel Thin-Section Deep Groove Ball Bearing

EZO 6700HZZ is a miniature stainless steel thin-section deep groove ball bearing with dimensions 10x15x4 mm, fitted with metal shields on both sides. The 6700 series is characterized by an extremely small radial cross-section. In this EZO designation, H identifies the stainless steel version, while ZZ indicates metal shields on both sides.

Technical data

EZO 6700HZZ dimensions

The basic dimensions are:

d: 10 mm
D: 15 mm
B: 4 mm

Complete dimensional specification:

10x15x4 mm

The difference between the bore and outside diameter is only 5 mm. This makes the 6700HZZ suitable for extremely compact mechanisms where radial installation space is severely restricted.

What does 6700HZZ mean?

The complete 6700HZZ designation is important for correct product identification.

6700 - thin-section deep groove ball bearing size with dimensions 10x15x4 mm.

H - identifies the stainless steel version in this EZO bearing series.

ZZ - metal shields on both sides of the bearing.

The H designation should not be omitted when selecting or ordering the bearing because it identifies its material version.

EZO 6700HZZ construction

EZO 6700HZZ is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with a very small cross-section.

Its basic construction consists of:

• inner ring,
• outer ring,
• balls,
• cage,
• two metal shields.

The deep raceway geometry is designed primarily to accommodate radial loads. Deep groove ball bearings can also accommodate axial loads within the operating limits of the specific bearing arrangement.

Thin-section 6700 series

The 6700 series is designed for mechanisms requiring a very small bearing cross-section.

For EZO 6700HZZ:

Bore: 10 mm
Outside diameter: 15 mm
Width: 4 mm

The small outside diameter relative to the 10 mm bore allows the overall dimensions of the bearing arrangement to be minimized.

Because of the very small cross-section, actual operating loads should be carefully considered when selecting this bearing.

Stainless steel H version

The H designation identifies the stainless steel version of this EZO bearing.

Compared with conventional bearing steel, stainless steel provides improved corrosion resistance, which can be advantageous in environments exposed to moisture.

Stainless steel does not provide complete resistance to every chemical or corrosive environment. Suitability should therefore be evaluated according to the actual operating conditions.

What does ZZ mean?

ZZ indicates metal shields on both sides of the bearing.

The shields help to:

• reduce the ingress of contaminants,
• protect the raceways and rolling elements,
• retain lubricant inside the bearing,
• maintain low running friction.

ZZ metal shields use a non-contact design and should not be confused with elastomer sealing systems such as 2RS.

6700HZZ vs 6700ZZ

Both versions have the same basic dimensions:

10x15x4 mm

The main difference is the material version.

6700HZZ - stainless steel version with metal shields on both sides.

6700ZZ - standard version with metal shields on both sides.

The H is therefore an important part of the complete EZO designation.

6700HZZ vs other 10 mm bore bearings

A 10 mm bore is available in many different bearing series, but this does not make them interchangeable.

EZO 6700HZZ has particularly compact dimensions:

10x15x4 mm

When selecting a replacement, the 15 mm outside diameter and 4 mm width must be verified together with the stainless steel construction and ZZ shields.

Selection and interchangeability

When selecting an EZO 6700HZZ, verify:

• complete 6700HZZ designation,
• 10 mm bore diameter,
• 15 mm outside diameter,
• 4 mm width,
• stainless steel H version,
• ZZ metal shields,
• required load capacity,
• operating speed,
• environmental conditions,
• lubrication requirements,
• shaft and housing tolerances.

The 10 mm bore diameter alone is not sufficient to determine interchangeability.

Applications

Thin-section 6700-series deep groove ball bearings are suitable for compact and precision mechanisms where radial and axial installation space is limited.

The stainless steel version can be particularly useful where compact dimensions are required together with improved corrosion resistance.

The suitability of 6700HZZ for a specific application should always be evaluated according to actual loads, operating speed and environmental conditions.

Installation

Because of the bearing's very small cross-section, particular care should be taken during installation.

When fitting the bearing onto a shaft, mounting force should be applied to the inner ring. When pressing it into a housing, force should be applied to the outer ring.

Mounting force should never be transmitted through the balls, and direct pressure on the ZZ metal shields should be avoided.

FAQ - EZO 6700HZZ

What are the dimensions of EZO 6700HZZ?

The bearing measures 10x15x4 mm, with a 10 mm bore, 15 mm outside diameter and 4 mm width.

What type of bearing is EZO 6700HZZ?

It is a single-row thin-section deep groove ball bearing.

Is EZO 6700HZZ made of stainless steel?

Yes. The H designation identifies the stainless steel version in this EZO bearing series.

What does ZZ mean?

ZZ indicates metal shields on both sides of the bearing.

Why is the 6700 series considered thin-section?

The bearing has a very small radial cross-section. With a 10 mm bore, the 6700HZZ has an outside diameter of only 15 mm.

Are 6700HZZ and 6700ZZ the same bearing?

No. They share the same basic dimensions and ZZ shields, but 6700HZZ is the stainless steel version.
