Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications and load ratings for the 6206-Z bearing?
A: The 6206-Z has a 30 mm bore, 62 mm outer diameter, and 16 mm width. Dynamic load capacity is 20,300 N. Static load capacity is 11,200 N. Maximum speed is 15,000 RPM. C3 clearance provides extra internal clearance for thermal expansion. Single pressed metal shield (Z) protects one side.
Q: Which material handling equipment is compatible with the 6206-Z?
A: The 6206-Z is used in manual pallet jacks, electric pallet jacks, and load wheel assemblies from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, and CAT. It is a standard industrial bearing suitable for general material handling applications. Verify 30 mm shaft diameter before ordering.
Q: What brands manufacture the 6206-Z bearing equivalent?
A: The 6206-Z is manufactured under equivalent designations by SKF (6206-ZJEM), NSK (6206Z), NTN (6206Z), and SNR (6206Z). The double-shield variant (6206-ZZ) is also available if additional protection is needed. Cross-reference your original bearing marking to confirm compatibility.
Q: Why is high-carbon chromium steel used in the 6206-Z bearing?
A: High-carbon chromium steel provides superior hardness, wear resistance, and load capacity. This material withstands the dynamic forces and impacts typical in pallet jack and material handling applications. It resists corrosion better than plain steel, extending bearing life in industrial and outdoor environments.
Q: Is the 6206-Z sealed or open, and what does that mean for maintenance?
A: The 6206-Z has a single metal shield (Z), which provides partial dust protection but is not fully sealed. It is not pre-lubricated like rubber-sealed bearings. For sealed, maintenance-free operation, choose the 6206-2RS or 6206-ZZ. Single-shield bearings require periodic inspection in wet or dusty environments.
