FAQ

The '2Z' suffix indicates that the bearing is equipped with a pressed steel shield on both sides. These non-contact shields protect the bearing's interior from larger contaminants without increasing friction, making them ideal for high-speed applications.

Yes, SKF Explorer bearings are manufactured to higher precision standards with improved steel purity and heat treatment processes. This results in a longer service life, higher load-carrying capacity, and reduced friction and noise compared to standard bearings.

This bearing comes pre-lubricated with a specific high-quality grease designed for a wide range of operating conditions and temperatures. Attempting to wash out and re-grease a shielded (2Z) bearing is not recommended as it can introduce contaminants and damage the shields. It is designed to be lubricated for life.
