How the 6200-ZZ-FAG model number is decoded

6200-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 light 62xx section (diameter series 2 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 10 by five gives the 10 mm bore; the 30 mm outside diameter and 9 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 10 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a j5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. Schaeffler HR 1 catalogue order number: 6200-C-2Z (FAG suffix 2Z), two non-contact steel shields, mapped here from the industry-neutral -ZZ spelling.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• At 10 mm bore, induction heating to roughly 80–100 °C is the clean mounting method; never exceed 120 °C, and hold 6200 against the shaft shoulder while it cools so the ring cannot creep back.
• At 10 mm bore the 62xx light series is the workhorse section; its 30×9 mm envelope is what most motor and gearbox seats are machined for, so any alternative section must be checked against both this OD and this width, not the bore alone.
• Do not wash 6200-ZZ-FAG 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 6200-ZZ-FAG units are typically greased for life; prying the shields out for regreasing usually bends them and leaves a gap that throws grease in service.
• Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 30 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 6200-ZZ-FAG.
• Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 6200-ZZ-FAG-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
• Schaeffler HR 1 lists the shielded version as 6200-C-2Z — FAG suffix 2Z, two non-contact steel shields. The industry-neutral page spelling is -ZZ; quote the FAG order number when buying through a Schaeffler channel.
• The 34500 r/min mechanical limiting speed puts 6200 at the top of the HR 1 deep-groove speed range (thermal reference speed 26000 r/min); at these speeds cage design and grease shear dominate — run open with oil-mist or air-over-oil lubrication and verify the thermal reference speed for the actual load before committing.
• At 10 mm bore the 6200 sits in Schaeffler's miniature range; HR 1 ships these sizes with a pressed steel or plastic cage and P0 tolerance as standard — for instrument or spindle accuracy order the P6/P5 variant explicitly, since P0 runout figures will not hold.
• FAG rates 6200 at 7 kN dynamic (C) and 2.6 kN static (C0); this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C for conveying or gearbox duty with shock.
• At only 30 g, 6200 is a lightweight FAG 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 10×30×9 mm envelope of 6200 gives a D/d ratio of 3.00 and 10.0 mm radial section height — a heavy FAG section for high-load, lower-speed duty; specifying it in a high-rpm motor generates excess heat and shortens grease life, so prefer a 62/63-series there.
• The 7/2.6 kN load ratings, mass 30 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 6200-C-2Z on the 10×30×9 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6200 in a rated drive. Where FAG has since released an X-life version of this size, its expanded C/C0 ratings supersede the HR 1 print values quoted here.
• For hot shafts above roughly 100 °C continuous, consult Schaeffler about seal material and grease options for the 2RSR execution of 6200; the standard NBR lip is the economical general-duty choice, not the high-temperature one.
• Mixing old and new FAG generations of the same designation in one arrangement is dimensionally acceptable, but where ratings matter — preloaded or matched sets — order both positions from the same generation and lot.
