Suffix Information

Suffix Code2Z
CategoryShield
MeaningMetal shields on both sides
DescriptionSheet-metal shields on both sides. The shield is fixed to the outer ring and does not touch the inner ring, so friction and heat stay close to an open bearing; it retains the grease and keeps coarse dirt out, but it does not seal against fine particles or moisture.

Manufacturer Ratings

Load-rating symbols are printed as each manufacturer writes them in its own catalogue, so the same quantity can carry a different symbol from brand to brand.
