FAG 6003 ZZ Ball Bearing 17x35x10

Double-shielded 6003 ZZ bearing — robust, sealed protection for radial and axial loads

The FAG 6003 ZZ is a deep groove radial ball bearing with double metal shields (ZZ), designed to combine smooth performance, strong protection, and wide applicability. Its standard dimensions are 17 mm inner diameter (d) x 35 mm outer diameter (D) x 10 mm width (B).

Key Features & Benefits

• Double metal shielding (ZZ / 2Z) on both sides provides effective protection against dust, dirt, and small particles, while maintaining minimal friction.

• Deep groove design ensures reliable handling of radial loads and modest axial loads, suitable for many rotating mechanisms.

• High precision and consistency from the FAG brand, part of Schaeffler group — known for strict tolerances and quality control.

• Pre-lubricated factory grease ensures readiness for use immediately upon installation.

• Recommended operating temperature range (typical for ZZ bearings): -20 °C to +120 °C (depending on grease spec)

• Rated loads & speeds (typical values): dynamic load approx. 6190 N, static load approx. 3250 N, limiting speed ~21,000 rpm.

• Applications: widely used in electric motors, machine tools, spindles, gearboxes, fans, small machinery, robotics etc.

Because this is a shielded (not sealed) unit, some grease exchange is possible, but the metal shields effectively prevent large contaminants from entering.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: What does the “ZZ” designation mean in 6003 ZZ?
A: “ZZ” indicates double metal shields (one on each side), offering physical protection while allowing lubrication exchange.

Q: Can 6003 ZZ handle axial loads?
A: Yes — while primarily designed for radial load, deep groove bearings like 6003 ZZ can accommodate moderate axial thrust in both directions.

Q: What distinguishes 6003 ZZ from 6003 2RS?
A: 6003 2RS has rubber seals on both sides, offering better sealing against fluids but with slightly increased friction. 6003 ZZ uses metal shields, balancing protection and low resistance.

Q: Is it compatible with high-speed applications?
A: Yes — typical limiting speed is ~21,000 rpm, provided lubrication, alignment, and load conditions are met.

Q: Do I need to add grease before use?
A: The FAG 6003 ZZ arrives factory-lubricated and ready to use. However, periodic relubrication in demanding applications may improve lifespan.
