The SKF 6302 ZZ is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with metal shields (ZZ) on both sides. It features dimensions 15 mm bore, 42 mm outer diameter, 13 mm width. This model is commonly searched internationally under keywords like “6302 ZZ bearing,” “SKF 6302 shielded bearing 15x42x13,” “deep groove bearing 6302 ZZ,” and “15x42x13 ball bearing.”
It is widely used in electric motors, small gearboxes, machinery, fans, pumps, and industrial equipment that require protection against dust and debris while retaining smooth rotation. The metal shields provide a barrier against external particles while keeping friction relatively low, making 6302 ZZ a reliable choice for both clean and moderately contaminated environments.
Shielded on both sides (ZZ): Metal shields help prevent ingress of dirt and particles, improving lifespan while minimally impacting friction.
Deep groove design: Enables smooth operation, supports radial loads and moderate axial loads.
Robust construction: Made from hardened bearing steel, offering durability, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability.
Efficient performance: Balanced design yields low noise, low vibration, and low energy loss.
Flexible installation: Suitable for use as a bearing unit or integrated within a bearing housing.
Global compatibility: Dimensions and design conform to standard bearing series, simplifying replacement and sourcing.

Q: What does “ZZ” mean in 6302 ZZ?
A: “ZZ” designates metal shields on both faces of the bearing, which block particles while allowing internal lubrication to remain.
Q: Can 6302 ZZ handle axial loads?
A: Yes — though primarily built for radial loads, the deep groove profile enables moderate axial support.
Q: What environments suit the 6302 ZZ?
A: It performs best in relatively clean or moderately contaminated settings where shield protection helps lengthen service life.
Q: What is the maximum speed for 6302 ZZ?
A: Under standard conditions (grease lubrication), it can reach up to around 17,000 rpm.
Q: Is 6302 ZZ interchangeable with 6302 2Z or 6302 2RS?
A: The shielded (ZZ) version is similar to 2Z (two metal shields). Versions with rubber seals (2RS) offer better sealing but slightly higher friction.
