Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BS 6206 ZZ and BS 6206 2RS?
A: Both have identical dimensions: OD 2.441 inch (62mm), ID 1.181 inch (30mm), Width 0.630 inch (16mm). ZZ uses metal shields, while 2RS uses rubber seals. ZZ shields are lighter and run cooler but offer less sealing. 2RS seals offer better protection but may generate slightly more friction.
Q: Is BS 6206 ZZ suitable for material handling equipment in dusty environments?
A: Metal shields on ZZ bearings provide moderate protection from dust and light debris but are not as effective as rubber seals. For warehouses with moderate dust or outdoor equipment exposed to significant dirt, the 2RS sealed version is a better choice.
Q: Can BS 6206 ZZ be used as a direct replacement for open BS 6206 bearings?
A: Yes, BS 6206 ZZ is a direct dimensional replacement for open BS 6206. The metal shields do not protrude beyond the bearing width, so installation clearance is identical. Choose ZZ for improved protection when replacing worn open bearings.
Q: Which pallet jack models use BS 6206 ZZ bearings?
A: The 6206 ZZ bearing is compatible with load wheel assemblies on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar pallet jack brands. Always verify the specific model and year to ensure this bearing matches your equipment before ordering.
Q: What is the service life of BS 6206 ZZ under typical material handling conditions?
A: Expected service life is typically 2-4 years in standard warehouse use. Life varies based on load cycles, speed, lubrication interval, and environmental conditions. High-traffic facilities or equipment moved multiple times daily may see shorter bearing life.
