673-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 3x6x2.5 mm | Metric Series | Double Shielded
A precision-engineered, miniature bearing built with standard deep groove geometry. Designed for high-speed operation and minimal maintenance in compact spaces. The 673-ZZ is capable of supporting light radial loads and bidirectional axial loads, making it a critical component for miniature transmissions, small fans, and automation equipment that demand low friction and a long service life in a small envelope.

Ideally suited for a broad spectrum of miniature and light-duty machinery:
The defining feature of the 673-ZZ is its minimal cross-section. With an ultra-thin width of just 2.5mm, this bearing is specifically designed for assemblies with severe space constraints. It allows engineers to incorporate rolling-element performance into designs where sleeve bearings might otherwise be the only option, providing the benefits of reduced friction and higher precision in a tiny package.
As a single-row miniature bearing, the 673-ZZ is optimized for light-load applications. Its small ball complement and precise raceway finishing ensure extremely low starting and running torque. This efficiency is vital for battery-powered devices and high-speed instruments where every watt of energy and gram of weight savings contribute to overall performance and longevity.
Manufactured to fine precision tolerances, these miniature bearings ensure minimal vibration and audible noise. The non-contact metal shields (ZZ) allow for very high rotational speeds without drag, while still protecting the precision balls and raceways from contamination. This makes the 673-ZZ suitable for sensitive applications like small spindles and dental tools where quiet, smooth rotation at high RPM is essential .
