How the 6310-ZZ-NTN model number is decoded

In the 6300-series (diameter series 3 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 6310 carries bore code 10 = 50 mm. Outside diameter 110 mm and width 27 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 50 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. NTN catalogue order number: 6310ZZ (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

• At 50 mm bore, induction heating to roughly 80–100 °C is the clean mounting method; never exceed 120 °C, and hold 6310 against the shaft shoulder while it cools so the ring cannot creep back.
• The 63xx medium section at 50 mm bore gains dynamic rating through larger rolling elements on a 110 mm OD; the penalty is mass and a lower limiting speed than the 6210 — do not specify it for speed-critical shafts.
• ZZ shields are non-contact: 6310-ZZ-NTN blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 6310-2RS for that.
• Shielded 6310-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.
• A 50 mm bore listing showing the right d/D/B but no standard or precision-class reference may be a loose-tolerance import; measure bore/OD spread before fitting it to a machined shaft.
• Vibration during standstill brinells the raceways of a 50 mm bearing at ball spacing; if the machine sits idle next to running equipment, turn the shaft over periodically or isolate the arrangement.
• NTN catalogues the shielded version as 6310ZZ — 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 50 mm bore puts 6310 in NTN's general-purpose industrial range; the standard pressed-steel cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, but for continuous high-speed use specify the LLH low-torque seal (not LLU) and confirm the housing allows the listed limiting speed.
• At 5000 r/min the grease limiting speed for 6310 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the open or shielded execution can run continuously at this speed with standard lithium-soap grease.
• NTN rates 6310 at 68.5 kN dynamic (C) and 38.5 kN static (C0), 2.99 kN fatigue load limit Cu; this upper-medium rating covers conveyor and gearbox drives, but at these loads the pressed-steel cage can be the limiting factor under shock — consider the machined brass cage (suffix M) for impact duty.
• At 1070 g (1.1 kg), 6310 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 50×110×27 mm envelope of 6310 gives a D/d ratio of 2.20 and 30.0 mm radial section height — a heavy section built 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 68.5/38.5 kN load ratings, 2.99 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 5000 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 1070 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6310ZZ on the 50×110×27 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6310 in a rated drive.
• NTN date-codes its packaging; rotate stock first-in-first-out, because the grease inside sealed units ages on the shelf — after three to five years of storage, check the grease condition before putting the bearing into service.
• 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 6310 is listed.
