TIMKEN 6206-2Z Double Metal Seal Bearings — 30x62x16 mm (Pack of 2)

A grinding or whining noise from a rotating component, play you can feel by hand, a hot housing, or grease leaking past a damaged seal — a worn ball bearing announces itself early. Ignore it, and it can damage the shaft or housing. Replacing worn bearings with this pack of two TIMKEN 6206-2Z bearings ensures smooth operation, stable performance, and cost-effective reliability.

These are TIMKEN 6206-2Z single-row deep groove radial ball bearings with double metal shields (ZZ) . They are pre-lubricated at the factory with high-quality grease for long-lasting, maintenance-free operation . The metal shields protect the bearing from dust, dirt, and moisture while retaining the grease inside . This listing includes two bearings.

 

When to Replace

• Grinding, whining, or rumbling noise from the bearing location
• Noticeable play or wobble in the shaft
• Housing running hot
• Grease leaking past a torn or damaged seal
• A bearing removed from a shaft should always be replaced — never reinstall a used bearing

FAQ

FAQ

Is this the same as SKF 6206-2Z or NSK 6206ZZ?
They are dimensional equivalents: the same 6206 size (30 × 62 × 16 mm) with two metal shields . The suffixes ZZ, 2Z, and 2ZR all denote the same shield configuration across brands. They interchange by size, but they are different manufacturers' parts.

What does "ZZ" mean?
Two metal shields (dust covers) — one on each side of the bearing . They keep the factory grease in and contamination out.

Do I need to grease it?
No. The bearing comes pre-greased and sealed; it is not designed to be re-lubricated .

Can I reuse a bearing after pulling it off a shaft?
No. A bearing removed from a shaft should be replaced — reinstalling it risks early failure.

How many bearings do I get?
Two TIMKEN 6206-2Z bearings are included in this listing .

How do I know this is the right size?
Check the number stamped on your old bearing: 6206-ZZ, or any of the interchange numbers listed above, confirms the fit.

What is the maximum speed I can run this bearing at?
The reference speed is ~12,000 rpm per technical specifications, but the maximum safe speed depends on load, temperature, and application conditions . Consult your equipment manual for guidance.

Can this bearing handle axial load?
Yes — deep groove ball bearings can handle moderate axial loads, but they are primarily designed for radial loads .

Does this bearing come with metal shields or rubber seals?
This is the ZZ version with metal shields. If you need rubber contact seals, look for the 2RS version (e.g., TIMKEN 6206-2RS).

Is this a good value for the money?
Yes — this 2-pack offers two high-quality TIMKEN bearings at a cost-effective price, making it an economical choice for maintenance and repairs.
