How the 61928-ZZ-NTN model number is decoded
In the 61900-series (diameter series 9 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 61928 carries bore code 28 = 140 mm. Outside diameter 190 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 140 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: 6928ZZ (suffix ZZ), two non-contact steel shields, mapped here from the industry-neutral -ZZ spelling.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- robotics and automation joints
- lay shafts and idler shafts
- textile machinery
- packaging machinery
Known failure patterns
- fine-particle abrasion when non-contact shields let dust past in dirty duty
- grease aging in the shield-for-life cavity with no relubrication path
- cage damage from operation beyond the limiting speed
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without grounding protection
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount this 140 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
- The 619xx thin section (25.0 mm section height at 140 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: 61928-ZZ-NTN blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 61928-2RS for that.
- Shielded 61928-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.
- Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 61928-ZZ-NTN-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
- Measure the shaft, do not trust the drawing: a 140 mm nominal journal worn by even 0.02 mm turns an interference seat into a creeping fit that frets the bore of 61928-ZZ-NTN.
- NTN catalogues the shielded version as 6928ZZ — 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 140 mm bore places 61928 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 3200 r/min for 61928; 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 74 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 71.5 kN static (C0), 3.7 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 61928 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 1620 g (1.6 kg), 61928 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 140×190×24 mm envelope of 61928 gives a D/d ratio of 1.36 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 74/71.5 kN load ratings, 3.7 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 3200 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 1620 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6928ZZ on the 140×190×24 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61928 in a rated drive.
- Standard catalogue stock of 61928 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.
- Order the C3 internal-clearance version (61928 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 61928-ZZ-NTN bearing?
A 61928-ZZ-NTN deep-groove ball bearing has a 140 mm bore, 190 mm outer diameter and 24 mm width (5.512 × 7.48 × 0.945 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is fitted with two non-contact metallic shields.
Are 61928 bearings from different brands interchangeable?
For boundary dimensions, yes: every brand's 61928 uses the same ISO 15 envelope (140×190×24 mm). Load ratings, limiting speeds, clearance, precision class and sealing design can differ, so verify those in the supplier catalogue when substituting. Seal suffixes also differ by brand (2RS, DDU, LLU, 2RSL and similar).
What internal clearance does 61928-ZZ-NTN have?
Unless a clearance suffix says otherwise, 61928-ZZ-NTN is manufactured to normal (CN) radial internal clearance. Tight fits and hot shafts consume clearance in service — for those conditions order the C3 execution of 61928 and verify the residual clearance after mounting.
What is the NTN suffix for a sealed 61928?
NTN uses suffix LLU for the contact rubber seal (catalogue number 6928ZZ), LLB/LLF for non-contact rubber seals, LLH for the low-torque contact seal and ZZ for steel shields. The industry-neutral spellings on this page (-2RS / -RSR / -ZZ) map to those NTN suffixes while keeping the 140×190×24 mm ISO 15 envelope.
Is 6928ZZ a current NTN production size?
The NTN 2203-series catalogue lists it as a standard size; availability of specific seal executions (ZZ, LLB/LLF, LLH, LLU) varies by region and stock — confirm with an NTN distributor before specifying spares.
