687-ZZ Extra Thin Section Ball Bearing | Double Shielded Precision Micro-Bearing | 7×14×5 mm

687-ZZ Extra Thin Section Ball Bearing | Double Shielded Precision Micro-Bearing | 7×14×5 mm

The 687-ZZ is a highly specialized thin-section miniature bearing engineered for demanding electromechanical systems where radial space is strictly limited but high rotational accuracy is mandatory. Equipped with dual non-contact metal shields (ZZ), this compact component effectively repels particulate contamination while retaining its internal lubrication. Featuring a 7mm bore, a 14mm outer diameter, and a 5mm width, it delivers exceptional operational stability for advanced robotics, high-speed UAV motors, and automated industrial tooling.

687-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 7x14x5 mm | Metric 68 Series | Dual Metal Shields

Designed specifically to bridge the gap between heavy-duty performance and ultra-lightweight construction, the 687-ZZ minimizes the cross-sectional area without compromising load capacities. By utilizing premium GCr15 chrome steel and highly polished raceways, this bearing effortlessly manages both radial forces and moderate axial loads in both directions. Because the metal shields do not physically contact the inner ring, rotational drag is entirely eliminated, paving the way for superior RPM capabilities, cooler running temperatures, and an extended, maintenance-free operational lifecycle.

Key Performance Features

01. Ultra-Low Friction Shielding (ZZ)

Operating efficiency is maximized through the use of twin non-contact metal shields. Because there is no physical rubbing between the shield and the inner ring—unlike standard rubber seals—the 687-ZZ avoids unnecessary heat buildup and parasitic torque loss. This frictionless barrier is ideal for high-speed machinery requiring continuous, uninterrupted performance.

02. Space-Optimized Thin-Section Profile

Belonging to the 68 (thin-section) series, this bearing is characterized by an exceptionally low cross-section relative to its bore size. With dimensions of 7x14x5 mm, it empowers design engineers to downsize motor housings, reduce overall system weight, and achieve compact assemblies without sacrificing structural rigidity.

03. Rigorous Acoustic and Runout Control

Manufactured to stringent P0 (ABEC-1) standards, with P6 (ABEC-3) and P5 (ABEC-5) available for specialized requirements, the 687-ZZ delivers whisper-quiet operation. The strict dimensional tolerances and high-purity steel construction drastically reduce mechanical runout and vibration, ensuring smooth torque delivery in sensitive optical and medical devices.

Design & Configuration

Every 687-ZZ bearing arrives factory-lubricated with premium high-speed grease, rendering it completely ready for installation and virtually maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. For custom requirements involving extreme heat or specialized low-noise applications, alternative lubricants and C3 internal clearances can be provided. If the bearing will be exposed to heavy moisture or fine particulate dust, we highly recommend upgrading to the 687-2RS (contact rubber seal) variant.

"Engineered for maximum efficiency in minimal spaces, the 687-ZZ is the premier choice for lightweight, high-speed rotary applications."
