FAG 6003 ZZ C3 Ball Bearing 17x35x10

Product Overview

The FAG 6003 ZZ C3 deep groove ball bearing (17x35x10 mm) is a premium-quality industrial bearing designed for high-speed and high-temperature applications. Manufactured by FAG, a trusted German brand under the Schaeffler Group, this bearing provides exceptional precision, durability, and low friction, making it ideal for use in both industrial and automotive environments.

The ZZ designation indicates double metal shields, which protect the bearing from dust and contaminants while retaining the internal lubricant. The C3 clearance means the bearing is engineered with increased internal clearance, allowing it to perform reliably under thermal expansion and high rotational speeds.

Thanks to its optimized internal geometry, high-grade bearing steel, and superior sealing system, the FAG 6003 ZZ C3 delivers smooth, quiet operation, extended lifespan, and maintenance-free performance in demanding working conditions.

Applications

The FAG 6003 ZZ C3 bearing is widely used across industrial, automotive, and mechanical applications, where long life and precision are essential. Common applications include:

• Electric motors and alternators

• Pumps, compressors, and ventilators

• Gearboxes and power transmission units

• Agricultural and construction machinery

• Automation systems and industrial drives

Its compact dimensions and high-speed capability make it suitable for continuous-duty machinery, ensuring consistent performance and reduced downtime.
