SKF 2Z/GJN series deep groove ball bearings are precision components designed to support moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. They incorporate two protective metal shields (2Z) that retain the pre-filled grease and protect against the ingress of particles, making them ideal for applications requiring low maintenance and high reliability. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its extensive bearing catalog.
The designation of these bearings follows the SKF system: the basic number indicates the size and series. The suffixes 2Z indicate that they have two steel shields on both sides, and GJN identifies the high-quality grease with which they are lubricated from the factory.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment: electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, machine tools and automotive applications. In Argentina, they are common in the food, chemical, petrochemical industries and in maintenance workshops. Their sealed design makes them suitable for environments with dust or moderate humidity, where the goal is to reduce lubrication tasks and extend component service life.
To select the right bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The 2Z sealing offers effective protection against solid contaminants, but it is not watertight against liquids; if there is exposure to water or vapors, consider variants with rubber seals. During mounting, ensure correct alignment between shaft and housing, and avoid striking the shields. The GJN lubrication is already applied and does not require replenishment under normal conditions.
Regarding equivalents, SKF bearings of this series can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same basic designation and equivalent suffixes, such as FAG, NSK or NTN. However, always verify tolerances and grease type, as they may vary between manufacturers. For replacements, the safest approach is to consult a specialist and provide the complete code engraved on the original bearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 6003-2Z/GJN bearing?
- The SKF 6003-2Z/GJN bearing has a 17 mm bore, a 35 mm outside diameter and a 10 mm width (17 x 35 x 10 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 6003.
- What does the 2Z suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The 2Z suffix indicates that the bearing has two metal protective shields, one on each side. These shields retain grease and prevent the ingress of dust and particles, but they are not watertight against liquids.
- Does GJN grease require maintenance?
- No, GJN grease is factory-filled for the entire service life of the bearing under normal operating conditions. Relubrication is not necessary, except in very severe or high-temperature applications.
- Can I replace an SKF 2Z/GJN bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the other brand has the same basic designation and equivalent suffixes. Verify tolerances and grease type, and if in doubt consult us with the complete code.
