Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the 6206-ZZ bearing?
A: The 6206-ZZ has a 30 mm inner diameter, 62 mm outer diameter, and 16 mm width. Double steel shields (ZZ) protect both sides. High-carbon chromium steel cage and rings provide superior strength. Pre-lubricated for maintenance-free operation in manual pallet jacks and load wheel assemblies.
Q: Which pallet jack models use the 6206-ZZ bearing?
A: The 6206-ZZ is a direct OEM replacement for load wheel bearings in manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Linde, and other manufacturers. It is interchangeable across most standard 30 mm bore pallet truck assemblies. Verify your equipment bore matches before ordering.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the 6206-ZZ?
A: The 6206-ZZ is interchangeable with BS 6206 ZZ, 6206DA, 6206DDU, 6206LB, 6206LLU, 6206LU, 6206RS, 6206RS2, 6206VVC3, and 6206Z. Illinois Auto Truck also stocks this bearing as 6206-ZZ. Cross-reference your original bearing number to confirm the correct replacement.
Q: Why is the double shield (ZZ) design preferred for pallet jacks over open bearings?
A: Double steel shields (ZZ) protect against dirt, moisture, and salt contamination from warehouse floors, outdoor use, and cold storage. They contain the original grease lubricant, eliminating the need for maintenance. Open bearings require periodic re-greasing and are more prone to premature failure in harsh environments.
Q: What material is the steel cage, and how long will the 6206-ZZ last?
A: The 6206-ZZ uses a pressed steel cage retainer and is made from high-carbon chromium steel (SAE 52100). Under normal manual pallet jack use, sealed pre-lubricated bearings last 3 to 5 years or longer. Replace if noise, resistance, or rough rotation develops. Sealed design eliminates maintenance and extends lifespan.
