How the W6300-ZZ model number is decoded
The W prefix denotes SKF stainless steel deep-groove bearings (X108CrMo17 / AISI 440C class rings). In the 6300-series, bore code 00 follows the 10/12/15/17 mm exception table, so 6300 fits a 10 mm shaft. Envelope 10×35×11 mm (0.394×1.378×0.433 in), C 7.02 kN, C0 3.4 kN, Pu 0.146 kN; limiting speed 26000 r/min and mass 53 g. SKF spells the double shield W 6300-2Z (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
- chemical and marine atmospheres
- medical and laboratory devices
- small pumps handling corrosive media
- bicycle and outdoor equipment
Known failure patterns
- surface staining and pitting when even the stainless steel is left unlubricated in salty or acidic duty
- seal and grease failure before the rings corrode in sustained washdown service
- 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
- 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 — W6300-ZZ is not marine-grade stainless.
- The stainless steel is martensitic and MAGNETIC; do not reject W6300-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: W6300-ZZ is quoted at C 7.02 kN versus the 11 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 W6300-ZZ; standard fill is industrial grease unless specified otherwise.
- Fillet radii must clear the W6300-ZZ chamfer so the 11 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
- Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving W6300-ZZ home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the stainless W6300-ZZ?
SKF W 6300-2Z measures 10×35×11 mm (0.394×1.378×0.433 in), about 53 g, C 7.02 kN.
What does the W in W 6300-2Z 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.
Where is W6300-ZZ typically used?
Food and packaging machines, pharmaceutical equipment, washdown conveyors, chemical and marine-atmosphere drives and appliances exposed to moisture.
What grease is supplied in W6300-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.
