684ZZ Shielded Ball Bearing – 4×9×4mm FAQ 's

Frequently asked questions about the 684ZZ Shielded Ball Bearing – 4×9×4mm

What does the "ZZ" suffix actually stand for?

The ZZ (or 2Z) designation indicates that the bearing is equipped with metal shields on both sides. These shields are typically made of pressed steel and are fixed to the outer ring. Unlike "Open" bearings, ZZ bearings have a physical barrier that prevents large debris from entering the raceway and helps retain the factory-applied grease.

How do ZZ bearings differ from 2RS bearings?

The main difference lies in the sealing method and friction levels:

  • ZZ (Metal Shields): These are non-contact shields. Because they do not touch the inner ring, they generate almost no additional friction, making them ideal for high-speed applications.
  • 2RS (Rubber Seals): These are contact seals. They press against the inner ring, providing a much tighter seal against moisture and fine dust, but they create more friction and heat, which limits their maximum speed.
Are ZZ bearings waterproof?

No. ZZ bearings are designed to protect against dust and larger solid particles, but they are not watertight. Because the metal shields do not make physical contact with the inner ring, there is a tiny "labyrinth" gap through which liquids (like water or oil) and very fine vapors can pass. For washdown environments or underwater use, you should typically use 2RS (rubber-sealed) bearings.

What are the best applications for ZZ bearings?

Due to their low friction and high-speed capability, ZZ bearings are the standard choice for:

  • Electric Motors: Where high RPMs and low heat generation are critical.
  • Office Equipment: Such as printers and photocopiers.
  • Power Tools: Like drills and grinders.
  • Home Appliances: Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and fans.
  • Clean Environments: Where there is moderate dust but no risk of liquid splashing.
Do I need to lubricate a ZZ bearing?

In most cases, no. ZZ bearings are almost always "Lubricated for Life." They come pre-filled with high-quality grease at the factory, and the shields are designed to keep that grease inside. Because the shields are not easily removable without damaging them, these bearings are generally considered maintenance-free and should be replaced rather than relubricated once the grease expires or the bearing becomes noisy.
