How the 61807-ZZ model number is decoded

61807-ZZ carries two non-contact sheet-steel shields that hold the factory grease in and keep coarse debris out; they do not seal against liquids. Within the extra-thin 618xx section (diameter series 8 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 07 by five gives the 35 mm bore; the 47 mm outside diameter and 7 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a k5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. NSK catalogue order number: 6807ZZ (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

• At a 35 mm bore, a shaft-seat burr or an overtight setscrew can score the thin inner ring of 61807-ZZ; check shaft finish and runout (target Ra ≤ 1.6 µm) before pressing it home.
• Only 6.0 mm of radial section separates bore and OD on the 618xx series at 35 mm: ring flex from clamping or an oval housing bore transfers straight into raceway stress, so seat roundness matters more here than on a 6207.
• ZZ shields are non-contact: 61807-ZZ blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 61807-2RS for that.
• Shielded 61807-ZZ 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 35 mm bearing at ball spacing; if the machine sits idle next to running equipment, turn the shaft over periodically or isolate the arrangement.
• Do not quieten a noisy bearing by preloading it: the 61800-series is a deep-groove design, not angular-contact; axial preload raises temperature and shortens grease life.
• NSK catalogues the shielded version as 6807ZZ — suffix ZZ, two non-contact steel shields. The industry-neutral page spelling is -ZZ; quote the NSK order number when buying through an NSK channel.
• The 35 mm bore puts 61807 in NSK's general-purpose industrial range; the standard pressed-steel cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty. NSK's VV non-contact seal is the high-speed choice here — DDU contact seal costs roughly 30–40% of the open-bearing speed ceiling.
• NSK rates 61807 at 5.4 kN dynamic (C) and 4.1 kN static (C0); this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — for conveying or gearbox duty with shock loads, verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C.
• At only 27 g, 61807 is a lightweight NSK bearing that can be handled by hand; still, press it onto the shaft with a sleeve against the inner ring — never through the balls or outer ring.
• The 35×47×7 mm envelope of 61807 gives a D/d ratio of 1.34 and only 6.0 mm radial section height — this is an ultra-thin section in NSK's E1103 catalogue where shaft deflection and housing ovality directly load the ball-raceway contact; verify shaft stiffness (target deflection under 0.05 mm) before specifying it over a 62-series.
• The 5.4/4.1 kN load ratings, mass 27 g here are NSK Rolling Bearings E1103 Part C catalogue figures for 6807ZZ on the 35×47×7 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61807 in a rated drive. NSK does not tabulate reference or limiting speeds in the E1103 Part C dimension tables used for this page — consult NSK's separate speed-rating tables before high-speed service.
• Keep NSK bearings in the original packaging until fitting: the wrapper carries the production lot, and the unopened shelf life of greased sealed units is typically quoted at three to five years in dry, vibration-free storage.
• When replacing a failed unit, inspect the shaft and housing seats before fitting the new 61807 — a new bearing pressed onto a worn or oval seat reproduces the original failure mode in a fraction of its expected life.
