AXIS 1606-ZZ Bearing | ABEC 3 Shielded 1606-ZZ Ball Bearing

AXIS Brand 1606-ZZ ball bearing is manufactured with precision, performance, and longevity in mind. specifically, size 1606-ZZ bearing utilizes the shielded design for keeping the premium Mobil Polyrex EM grease in, while keeping contents out, the benefit of this is longer performance and bearing protection. What sets AXIS brand deep groove 1606-ZZ bearings apart from others is the utilization of grade-10 balls, a high-strength steel retainer, being made to ABEC 3 precision standards, finely honed raceways, premium Exxon Mobil Polyrex EM grease, and noise and vibration testing at the factory on each bearing to ensure consistent quality.

AXIS 1606-ZZ Ball Bearing Benefits

Grade-10 Balls vs. Grade-25
Grade 10 balls, normally found in ABEC 5 (or better), instead of grade 25. The grade 10 balls have tighter tolerances (+/- 0.05 micrometers versus +/- 100 micrometers). This ensures a rounder, more precise diameter ball and gives a longer life because the balls share the load evenly.
Steel Retainer vs. Glass Filled Nylon Retainer
Steel retainers out-last and outperform nylon retainers that are typically found on other bearings within the same class. Steel retainers especially out-perform Nylon in high-temp applications.
ABEC 3 Precision vs. ABEC 1
ABEC 3 tolerances provide superior precision, efficiency, and greater speed capabilities.
Finley Honed Raceways vs. Non-Honed
This reduces friction and vibration which results in longer bearing life and better performance.
Exxon Mobil Polyrex EM Grease
The highest quality bearing grease on the market, Exxon engineers have put in countless hours and testing to come up with the new standard for premium bearing grease. All AXIS ball bearings come pre-supplied with this grease versus a lower-quality grease found in standard bearings.
Individual Noise and Vibration Testing
Testing both the noise and vibration levels on each and every ball bearing before packing ensure that the quality and consistency will be on par with the quality expected from AXIS bearings.
Electric Motor Quality
Electric motor quality, also known as EMQ for short is an industry designation for a higher precision, higher quality bearing than the standard.
