Cross references & equivalents
| Equivalent model | Brand | Match level | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 628-7-ZZ | SKF | partial Main dimensions match; tolerances, seals or internal clearance differ. | Same 7×14×5 mm envelope, but the stainless and chrome-steel executions carry different catalogue ratings (0.663/0.26 kN vs 0.956/0.4 kN) — envelope match, not a load-rating equivalent; choose by corrosion versus load duty. |

How the W628-7-ZZ model number is decoded
The W prefix denotes SKF stainless steel deep-groove bearings (X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class rings). In the 62800-series, the bore is written directly after the slash as 7 mm (bores below 10 mm use the slash spelling). Envelope 7×14×5 mm (0.276×0.551×0.197 in), C 0.663 kN, C0 0.26 kN, Pu 0.011 kN; limiting speed 50000 r/min and mass 2.75 g. SKF spells the double shield W 628/7-2Z (suffix 2Z); the shields are non-contact, retain grease and block coarse debris but are not liquid-tight. Stainless is chosen for corrosion and washdown duty, not for extra load — the same-envelope chrome-steel bearing rates higher.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- medical and laboratory devices
- small pumps handling corrosive media
- bicycle and outdoor equipment
- appliances exposed to moisture
Known failure patterns
- seal and grease failure before the rings corrode in sustained washdown service
- surface staining and pitting when even the stainless steel is left unlubricated in salty or acidic duty
- fine-particle abrasion when non-contact shields let dust through in a dirty environment
- grease aging inside the shielded cavity with no relubrication path
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Food, pharmaceutical and washdown positions need food-grade grease (e.g. NSF H1 registered) inside W628-7-ZZ; standard fill is industrial grease unless specified otherwise.
- Corrosion resistance depends on clean, undamaged surfaces: never weld near W628-7-ZZ or scratch the raceways during mounting, since the damaged spot starts corrosion.
- Temperatures above roughly 300 °C temper the stainless races; even standard greases fail far earlier — keep W628-7-ZZ inside the quoted grease temperature range.
- W-prefix stainless rings (X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class) resist moisture and weak chemicals but will still rust in chloride-rich or salt-spray duty without protection — W628-7-ZZ is not marine-grade stainless.
- Catalogue ratings for W628-7-ZZ (C 0.663 kN, C0 0.26 kN) are SKF figures from PUB BU/P1 17000; geometry revisions can change ratings without changing the designation, so keep the catalogue edition with the specification.
- Deep-groove geometry tolerates only minutes of misalignment; if the 14 mm housing bore cannot be aligned, move to a self-aligning bearing rather than shimming W628-7-ZZ.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the stainless W628-7-ZZ?
SKF W 628/7-2Z measures 7×14×5 mm (0.276×0.551×0.197 in), about 2.75 g, C 0.663 kN.
What does the W in W 628/7-2Z mean?
W is the SKF prefix for stainless steel deep-groove bearings (rings in X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class); the rest of the designation follows the normal series and bore rules.
What grease is supplied in W628-7-ZZ?
Sealed units are pre-greased for life; for food or pharmaceutical duty order (or re-grease before service) with an NSF H1 registered food-grade grease.
Are W stainless bearings waterproof?
No — the stainless rings resist moisture and weak chemicals far better than 52100 chrome steel, but salt spray, strong chlorides and unlubricated washdown duty can still corrode W628-7-ZZ; add seals and food-grade grease for wet positions.
