696 ZZ MTM 6x15x5 deep groove ball bearing

Construction and design

The 696 ZZ MTM 6x15x5 deep groove ball bearing is a compact precision bearing equipped with double metal shields ZZ, designed to ensure smooth rotation and protection against contaminants in high-speed applications.

This model is engineered for stable and efficient operation in small mechanical systems. The precision-ground raceways and high-quality steel balls provide consistent load distribution and reduced vibration levels.

The ZZ metal shields limit the ingress of dust and particles while maintaining low rolling resistance. This makes MTM ball bearings in this configuration ideal for applications where speed and efficiency are more critical than full sealing.
