How the 61822-ZZ-NTN model number is decoded

61822-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 22 by five gives the 110 mm bore; the 140 mm outside diameter and 16 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 110 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a m6 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. NTN catalogue order number: 6822ZZ (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

• Large bores like the 110 mm of 61822-ZZ-NTN demand clean, burr-free seats; one raised burr under a ring this size cocks the bearing and concentrates load at the raceway edge, cutting life drastically.
• Only 15.0 mm of radial section separates bore and OD on the 618xx series at 110 mm: ring flex from clamping or an oval housing bore transfers straight into raceway stress, so seat roundness matters more here than on a 6222.
• ZZ shields are non-contact: 61822-ZZ-NTN blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 61822-2RS for that.
• Shielded 61822-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.
• Axial location must clamp the ring face, not the seal area: a shoulder or circlip bearing on the seal side of the 16 mm-wide ring of 61822-ZZ-NTN drags the lip and overheats it.
• Assign fits by which ring rotates: an interference shaft fit for a rotating inner ring; if the outer ring rotates instead, reverse the logic — a loose rotating ring creeps and frets its seat.
• NTN catalogues the shielded version as 6822ZZ — 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.
• At 110 mm bore 61822 is in NTN's medium industrial range; the pressed-steel cage is standard but large-section 63xx/64xx sizes at this bore can be ordered with a machined brass cage (suffix M) for heavy-shock or very-low-speed duty — confirm cage material with the NTN channel if the application sees impact loads.
• NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 4300 r/min for 61822; this is a large or heavy-section size where centrifugal force and cage inertia cap the speed — for higher shaft speeds either step to a smaller bearing on the same bore or consult NTN for an oil-lubricated, machined-cage variant.
• At 27.5 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 28.2 kN static (C0), 1.68 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 61822 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 515 g, 61822 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 110×140×16 mm envelope of 61822 gives a D/d ratio of 1.27 and only 15.0 mm radial section height — this is an ultra-thin section 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 27.5/28.2 kN load ratings, 1.68 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 4300 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 515 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6822ZZ on the 110×140×16 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61822 in a rated drive.
• Order the C3 internal-clearance version (61822 with C3 after the seal code) when the shaft fit is tight or the shaft-to-housing temperature gradient exceeds roughly 10 °C — the residual clearance after mounting, not the catalogue CN figure, decides service life.
• NTN date-codes its packaging; rotate stock first-in-first-out, because the grease inside sealed units ages on the shelf — after three to five years of storage, check the grease condition before putting the bearing into service.
