6801-ZZ High-Speed Thin Section Ball Bearing | 12×21×5 mm for Robotics & Small Motors

6801-ZZ High-Speed Thin Section Ball Bearing | 12×21×5 mm for Robotics & Small Motors

The 6801-ZZ is a high-performance, extra-thin section ball bearing designed for precision assemblies where minimizing friction and weight is paramount. Equipped with dual-sided metal shields (ZZ), this bearing excels in high-speed environments by retaining factory-grade lubricant while offering lower rotational torque compared to rubber-sealed alternatives. With a 12mm bore and a compact 21mm outer diameter, the 6801-ZZ is the ideal solution for high-frequency spindles, lightweight drone motors, and sensitive medical instrumentation requiring consistent, low-vibration rotation.

6801-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 12x21x5 mm | Metric Thin Series | Double Shielded

Engineered to meet rigorous ISO standards, the 6801-ZZ utilizes a specialized thin-section architecture to provide reliable radial support within a very small footprint. The non-contact metal shields are specifically designed to protect the internal raceways from larger debris without sacrificing the bearing's maximum RPM potential. This makes it a top-tier choice for maintenance-free applications where thermal buildup must be kept to a minimum, such as in high-end RC racing components and precision optical equipment.

Key Performance Features

01. Low-Friction High-Speed Efficiency

The 6801-ZZ features dual-sided pressed steel shields that provide a "non-contact" seal. Unlike rubber seals that rub against the inner ring, these metal shields allow for significantly higher limiting speeds and lower startup torque. This is critical for battery-operated devices and high-speed motors where energy efficiency and heat dissipation are primary concerns.

02. Compact Thin-Section Profile

With a cross-section of only 4.5mm (distance between inner and outer ring), the 6801-ZZ allows engineers to design smaller, lighter housings. Despite its slim profile, the deep-groove geometry is precision-ground to handle radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, offering a high power-to-weight ratio for aerospace and portable tech.

03. Premium GCr15 Material Integrity

Forged from high-vacuum degassed GCr15 chrome steel, our 6801-ZZ bearings undergo rigorous heat treatment to achieve optimal Rockwell hardness. This ensures the raceways resist plastic deformation and fatigue. Each unit is pre-lubricated with premium high-temperature grease, ensuring smooth operation immediately out of the box.
