How the 6010-ZZ-NTN model number is decoded

In the 6000-series (diameter series 0 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 6010 carries bore code 10 = 50 mm. Outside diameter 80 mm and width 16 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. Suffix -ZZ denotes two non-contact metallic shields; they retain grease and block coarse debris but are not liquid-tight. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 50 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. NTN catalogue order number: 6010ZZ (suffix ZZ), two non-contact steel shields, mapped here from the industry-neutral -ZZ spelling.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Interference on a 50 mm shaft plus running heat consumes radial clearance: where the shaft runs hot or the fit is tight, order 6010 with C3 clearance and re-check the residual value after mounting.
• The 60xx extra-light section at 50 mm bore uses a smaller 80 mm OD than a 6210; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 62-series bearing with a 60-series without re-rating the load.
• Do not wash 6010-ZZ-NTN in solvent before mounting: the grease inside the shielded cavity is the service fill, and solvent creeping past the shield gap strips it out.
• Shielded 6010-ZZ-NTN units are typically greased for life; prying the shields out for regreasing usually bends them and leaves a gap that throws grease in service.
• Vibration during standstill brinells the raceways of a 50 mm bearing at ball spacing; if the machine sits idle next to running equipment, turn the shaft over periodically or isolate the arrangement.
• Measure the shaft, do not trust the drawing: a 50 mm nominal journal worn by even 0.02 mm turns an interference seat into a creeping fit that frets the bore of 6010-ZZ-NTN.
• NTN catalogues the shielded version as 6010ZZ — suffix ZZ, two non-contact steel shields. The industry-neutral page spelling is -ZZ; quote the NTN order number when buying through an NTN channel.
• The 50 mm bore puts 6010 in NTN's general-purpose industrial range; the standard pressed-steel cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, but for continuous high-speed use specify the LLH low-torque seal (not LLU) and confirm the housing allows the listed limiting speed.
• At 6000 r/min the grease limiting speed for 6010 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the open or shielded execution can run continuously at this speed with standard lithium-soap grease.
• At 24.2 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 16.6 kN static (C0), 1.24 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 6010 is a medium-load bearing suitable for most electric-motor and pump duty; the C0/C0r ratio matters for preloaded or thrust-loaded arrangements, so confirm the static safety factor with the NTN catalogue.
• At 261 g, 6010 requires a soft-jaw vise or arbor press for mounting — never hammer it onto the shaft, and support the opposite ring to avoid brinelling the raceways.
• The 50×80×16 mm envelope of 6010 gives a D/d ratio of 1.60 and 15.0 mm radial section height — this thin section saves space but is sensitive to misalignment and shock; confirm the housing stays round within IT7 and the shaft does not deflect past the raceway contact angle under load.
• The 24.2/16.6 kN load ratings, 1.24 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 6000 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 261 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6010ZZ on the 50×80×16 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6010 in a rated drive.
• Factory-fill grease in NTN sealed units is a general-duty lithium-soap grease; food-grade, low-temperature and high-temperature fills are request options at order time, because LLU/LLB units are not meant to be opened and re-greased in the field.
• Standard catalogue stock of 6010 is the general-purpose execution; for low-noise motor duty NTN offers low-torque seal and special-grease variants in this size class, which are separate order numbers.
