6203-Z Deep Groove Ball Bearing 17x40x12 mm | Standard 6200-Series | Single Metal Shield (Z)
A widely specified bearing variant featuring the proven deep groove raceway design. Engineered for dependable and quiet operation at speeds up to 17,000 r/min (Grease) . The 6203-Z delivers substantial load capacity within a space-efficient envelope, making it a preferred component for pumps, agricultural machinery, and general mechanical assemblies where one-side shielding is sufficient .

Ideal for light industrial equipment and rotating components:
Produced to ISO dimensional tolerances with carefully controlled raceway surface finish. The precision-ground balls and optimized internal clearance ensure reduced frictional torque, minimal vibration, and quiet operation, contributing to reliable long-term performance in continuous-duty applications.
Features one metal shield (Z) on the designated side, providing effective protection against particle ingress while leaving the opposite side open. This design allows for easy re-lubrication and is ideal for applications where one-sided exposure is acceptable or where grease replenishment is part of routine maintenance.
The 6203-Z incorporates an optimized internal raceway curvature that maximizes ball contact area for enhanced radial load distribution. Manufactured from premium chrome steel alloy (SAE 52100), it delivers consistent mechanical performance and extended fatigue life under moderate operating conditions.
