Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 607 -Z

The SKF 607-Z deep groove ball bearing, measuring 7x19x6 mm, offers compact dimensions for precise shaft support in spaces where installation clearance is minimal.

The 607-Z deep groove ball bearing provides designers with a single-row miniature rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. The component primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial loads. Manufactured to a dimensional accuracy of P6 and a running accuracy of P5, this bearing supports assemblies with high demands on precise concentricity and guidance accuracy. A robust sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements reliably within a temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees Celsius.

In which applications does the 607-Z deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This miniature bearing is primarily used where compact dimensions must be combined with precise guidance. Typical applications include compact shaft mountings, precision mechanical drives and devices with limited installation space. Thanks to its standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for standard operating conditions without excessive thermal expansion of the shaft. The cylindrical outer ring, which has no flange or groove, allows for flush mounting in smooth housing bores.

What are the distinctive features of the single-sided Z cover plate?

The ‘-Z’ designation stands for a non-contacting sheet metal cover on one side of the bearing. This cover keeps coarse dirt particles away from the rolling elements without generating additional frictional resistance or measurable heat build-up. At the same time, the opposite side remains open. This allows for targeted relubrication or supply via the housing’s lubrication circuit. During installation, it is recommended that the protected side be oriented towards the source of contamination.
