Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the Z designation mean on the BS 6207 Z bearing?
A: The Z designation indicates a single metal shield on one side of the bearing. This provides light contamination protection while allowing partial access for inspection and maintenance. This contrasts with ZZ (double shield) or 2RS (sealed) variants.
Q: When should I use BS 6207 Z instead of BS 6207 ZZ or 2RS?
A: Use the BS 6207 Z in cleaner, drier environments where bearing access is beneficial. The single shield reduces sealing friction and allows easier inspection. Avoid wet floors or dusty conditions; use 2RS or ZZ variants instead.
Q: What material is the BS 6207 Z manufactured from?
A: The BS 6207 Z uses chrome steel (SAE 52100) for the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling elements. The single shield is typically stamped steel. This material composition provides durability in general warehouse equipment applications.
Q: Is the BS 6207 Z a direct replacement for other 6207 bearings?
A: Yes, the BS 6207 Z maintains dimensional interchange with other 6207 variants at 35mm ID, 72mm OD, 17mm width. However, verify that your equipment tolerates single-shield protection rather than sealed or double-shield variants.
Q: What equipment uses the BS 6207 Z bearing?
A: The 6207 Z is commonly used in manual and electric pallet jacks, stackers, order pickers, and load/steer wheel assemblies from manufacturers including Yale, Hyster, Crown, Raymond, and Toyota lift trucks.
Q: How do I store BS 6207 Z bearings?
A: Store in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Keep bearings in original packaging or sealed containers to prevent contamination. Inspect bearings before use, and rotate stock using FIFO (first in, first out) methodology.
