How the 61926-ZZ-NTN model number is decoded

In the 61900-series (diameter series 9 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 61926 carries bore code 26 = 130 mm. Outside diameter 180 mm and width 24 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 130 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. NTN catalogue order number: 6926ZZ (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 130 mm of 61926-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.
• The 619xx thin section (25.0 mm section height at 130 mm bore) trades load capacity for compactness; stiff, accurately aligned seats are essential or edge loading will spall the raceway early.
• ZZ shields are non-contact: 61926-ZZ-NTN blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 61926-2RS for that.
• Do not wash 61926-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.
• Grease compatibility is not guaranteed between fills: mixing lithium and polyurea thickeners in a 61900-series position can soften the mixture and leak — clean out the old fill before switching grease types.
• Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 180 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 61926-ZZ-NTN.
• NTN catalogues the shielded version as 6926ZZ — 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 130 mm bore places 61926 at the lower end of NTN's large-size range; at these diameters the pressed-steel cage is speed-limited and NTN commonly supplies a machined brass cage (suffix M) as an option. Verify cage material and relubrication interval with the NTN distributor, and do not extrapolate small-bore speed ratings to this size.
• NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 3500 r/min for 61926; 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 72 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 67.5 kN static (C0), 3.65 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 61926 is a heavy-load bearing for industrial gearboxes and large conveyors; NTN expects a machined brass cage (suffix M) at this rating for shock duty, and the static C0 must be checked against any mounting or lifting loads.
• At 1520 g (1.5 kg), 61926 needs mechanical handling for mounting; NTN recommends induction heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) rather than pressing cold, and a lifting eye if the housing is pre-assembled.
• The 130×180×24 mm envelope of 61926 gives a D/d ratio of 1.38 and only 25.0 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 72/67.5 kN load ratings, 3.65 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 3500 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 1520 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6926ZZ on the 130×180×24 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61926 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.
• NTN's pressed-steel cage (no cage suffix) is the quiet standard for this size; for sustained running close to the limiting speed or for heavy shock duty, ask the NTN channel whether a machined-cage execution of 61926 is listed.
