Shielding and Lubrication
The ZZ designation indicates double metal shields (SPCC steel) pressed into the outer ring on both sides. These non-contact shields create a narrow labyrinth gap that blocks coarse dust and debris while generating less friction than rubber contact seals. The bearing is factory-packed with grease. For applications with heavy dust or moisture exposure, a 2RS sealed variant may be more suitable.
Performance
Single-row deep groove geometry handles combined radial and axial loads. Chrome steel (GCr15) construction with ABEC precision tolerance. Dynamic load rating 1.35kN, static load rating 0.53kN. Metal shields enable higher speed operation at 48,000 RPM with low noise and low vibration. The non-contact shield design reduces running torque compared to sealed variants.
OEM and Customization
Custom internal clearance (C2, CN, C3) and grease type available for volume orders. Batch-level QC reports and dimensional tolerance documentation provided on request.
Applications
Small electric motors, cooling fans, and blowers
Power tools, hobby servos, and model aircraft
Office equipment, printers, and copiers
Automotive sensors, throttle bodies, and actuators
Frequently Asked Questions
What does ZZ mean on the 696 bearing? +
ZZ indicates double metal shields (SPCC steel) pressed into the outer ring on both sides. These non-contact shields create a labyrinth gap that blocks coarse dust while generating minimal friction ; unlike rubber 2RS seals, ZZ shields don’t contact the inner ring, yielding higher speed (44,000 RPM vs. 36,000 RPM for 2RS) at the cost of reduced sealing against moisture and fine particles.
What is the difference between 696 ZZ and 696 2RS? +
696 ZZ uses non-contact metal shields ; higher speed (44,000 RPM), lower drag, but only blocks coarse debris. 696 2RS uses rubber contact seals ; better protection against moisture and fine dust, but lower speed (36,000 RPM) due to seal friction. Choose ZZ for clean, dry, high-speed cavities; choose 696 2RS for wet, dusty, or washdown environments.
Can the 696 ZZ be relubricated? +
The 696 ZZ ships factory-filled with grease and is designed as a sealed-for-life bearing. The metal shields are pressed in and not designed for routine relubrication. For applications requiring periodic regreasing, consider an open (unshielded) variant or contact us for a custom grease specification at order time.
What clearance and grease options are available for the 696 ZZ? +
Standard clearance is CN. C2 (tight) and C3 (loose) grades are available for volume orders. Grease options include low-noise polyurea, high-temperature fluorinated, and food-grade NSF H1. For custom configurations, submit your specification to our engineering team ; we quote within 24 hours.
