FAQ What does the ‘2Z’ suffix signify on this bearing?The ‘2Z’ (or ‘ZZ’) suffix indicates that the bearing is fitted with non-contacting metal shields on both sides. These shields protect the internal components from larger particles without adding rotational friction, making them ideal for high-speed applications. Is the AKN 61701-2Z pre-lubricated?Yes, like most deep groove ball bearings of this type, it comes pre-lubricated with a high-quality grease, designed to last the lifetime of the bearing under normal operating conditions. Can I use a bearing with 2RS seals instead of this 2Z model?While the dimensions are identical, a 2RS bearing has rubber contact seals on both sides. 2RS provides better protection against fine dust and moisture but has a lower maximum speed limit due to friction. A 2Z bearing is preferable for higher speed, cleaner environments. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
