How the W628-9-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 9 mm (bores below 10 mm use the slash spelling). Envelope 9×17×5 mm (0.354×0.669×0.197 in), C 0.761 kN, C0 0.335 kN, Pu 0.014 kN; limiting speed 43000 r/min and mass 4.2 g. SKF spells the double shield W 628/9-2Z (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

  • bicycle and outdoor equipment
  • appliances exposed to moisture
  • food and beverage conveyors
  • pharmaceutical and packaging machines

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

  • The stainless steel is martensitic and MAGNETIC; do not reject W628-9-ZZ over magnetism — only austenitic grades are non-magnetic, and those are too soft for bearing raceways.
  • Stainless bearings carry lower load ratings than chrome steel of the same envelope: W628-9-ZZ is quoted at C 0.761 kN versus the 5 mm-wide 52100 version — do not swap on dimensions alone.
  • Food, pharmaceutical and washdown positions need food-grade grease (e.g. NSF H1 registered) inside W628-9-ZZ; standard fill is industrial grease unless specified otherwise.
  • Corrosion resistance depends on clean, undamaged surfaces: never weld near W628-9-ZZ or scratch the raceways during mounting, since the damaged spot starts corrosion.
  • Catalogue ratings for W628-9-ZZ (C 0.761 kN, C0 0.335 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.
  • Assign interference to the rotating ring: on a conventional shaft-mounted 9 mm position the inner ring rotates, so use a k5/m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing — reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the stainless W628-9-ZZ?

SKF W 628/9-2Z measures 9×17×5 mm (0.354×0.669×0.197 in), about 4.2 g, C 0.761 kN.

What does the W in W 628/9-2Z 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 W628-9-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 W628-9-ZZ; add seals and food-grade grease for wet positions.
