SKF 626-Z Bearing Introduction

Overview:
The SKF 626-Z bearing is a high-precision, single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for applications that require reliable performance and low friction. It is part of the SKF's extensive range of bearings that cater to various industries and machinery requirements. This bearing is particularly known for its robust construction, which allows it to handle both radial and axial loads, albeit with a focus on radial loads.

Features:
1. Single-Row Design: The 626-Z features a single row of balls, which simplifies the design and enhances the load-carrying capacity for radial loads.
2. Deep Groove Geometry: The deep groove raceway design provides a raceway with a small cross-section, allowing high speeds and increased load-carrying capacity.
3. Open Type: The 'Z' in the model number indicates that the bearing has a single metal shield on one side to protect the balls and raceways from dust and other contaminants.
4. High-Quality Steel: Manufactured from high-grade steel, ensuring durability and reliability.
5. Pre-Lubricated: Comes pre-lubricated with SKF's proprietary grease, reducing the need for immediate re-lubrication after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

1. Q: What is the difference between the SKF 626-Z and other 626 models?
A: The 'Z' in the model number indicates the presence of a single metal shield, providing one-sided protection against dust and debris.

2. Q: Can I use the SKF 626-Z in high-speed applications?
A: Yes, the deep groove design and high-quality materials make it suitable for high-speed applications, but it's always best to consult the manufacturer for specific speed ratings.

3. Q: How do I know if the SKF 626-Z is the right bearing for my application?
A: Consider factors such as load requirements, speed, and environmental conditions. SKF's technical support can assist in making the right choice.

4. Q: Is maintenance required for the SKF 626-Z?
A: While the pre-lubricated nature of the bearing reduces the need for immediate maintenance, regular inspections and re-lubrication as per operational conditions are recommended to ensure longevity.

5. Q: Can I get the SKF 626-Z in a non-lubricated version?
A: While the standard offering is pre-lubricated, special orders for non-lubricated versions may be possible through SKF's customization services.
