Standard Flanged Ball Bearings
Flanged ball bearings have an integral flange on the outer ring that helps locate the bearing against a housing shoulder or mounting face. TFL supplies single-row flanged ball bearings in metric and inch sizes, including F6700, F63800, F6800, F6900, F6000 and F6200 series options, plus FR8ZZ and FR10ZZ. The range includes open and shielded designs, with metric bores from 6 to 50 mm. Buyers can compare bore, outside diameter, width, flange diameter and flange thickness to identify the required model. TFL supports bearing distributors, importers and industrial resellers with replacement options, mixed-model quotations, custom specifications, OEM or neutral packaging, inspection requirements and consolidated shipment. Price, MOQ and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.

Flanged Ball Bearing Selection and Distributor Sourcing Guide
For replacement enquiries, start with the complete bearing number and quantity. If the original number is unavailable, five dimensions help identify the correct flanged ball bearing: bore diameter, outside diameter, bearing width, flange outside diameter and flange thickness. The outer-ring flange provides a locating surface against the housing. Closure, material and other specifications can be confirmed where required.
How to Choose from the Product List
Start with the bearing number on the existing part, drawing or stock list. If the number is incomplete, compare bore diameter (d), outside diameter (D) and width (B), followed by flange outside diameter (Df) and flange thickness. These five dimensions are important for replacement matching because two bearings with the same basic dimensions may have different flange sizes.
The flange helps locate the bearing against a housing face, but it does not automatically increase axial load capacity or compensate for shaft misalignment. Mounting fit, load, speed and lubrication can be checked when the original specification is unavailable or the operating requirements differ. Our flanged ball bearing size-check guide provides additional dimensional guidance.
Common Series and Model Range
TFL supplies F6700, F63800, F6800, F6900, F6000 and F6200 series flanged ball bearings, along with selected SF variants, F636ZZ and inch-size FR8ZZ and FR10ZZ models. Metric bore sizes range from 6 to 50 mm. Different series and configurations may share the same bore while having different outside diameters, widths and flange dimensions.
| Listed Model | Bore × OD × Width | Flange OD | Flange Thickness | Closure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F6700ZZ | 10 × 15 × 4 mm | 16.5 mm | 0.8 mm | Shielded |
| F6800ZZ | 10 × 19 × 5 mm | 21 mm | 1 mm | Shielded |
| F6900ZZ | 10 × 22 × 6 mm | 25 mm | 1.5 mm | Shielded |
| F6200ZZ | 10 × 30 × 9 mm | 32.25 mm | 2.25 mm | Shielded |
| FR8ZZ | 0.5 × 1.125 × 0.3125 in | 1.225 in | 0.062 in | Shielded |
Open vs ZZ Selection and 2RS Requirements
Open bearings allow direct access for oil or grease lubrication and are commonly used in clean assemblies with separate contamination protection. ZZ versions have metal shields on both sides to help retain lubricant and reduce light contamination with low running friction. These shields are not waterproof seals.
The standard range includes open and ZZ shielded models. For a rubber-sealed 2RS requirement, send the complete bearing number or required dimensions and quantity. Seal type, dimensions, operating speed and availability can then be confirmed for the proposed configuration.
Open and Shielded Versions Can Have Different Dimensions
For example, the listed F6700 measures 10 × 15 × 3 mm with a 16 mm flange OD, while F6700ZZ measures 10 × 15 × 4 mm with a 16.5 mm flange OD. Although both share the same bore and bearing body diameter, their widths and flange dimensions differ. The complete dimensions are therefore important when replacing one version with another.
Model Code Example: F6800ZZ
The F6800ZZ flanged ball bearing is an example of a common flanged bearing designation. F identifies the flanged version, 6800 identifies the base bearing series and size, and ZZ indicates metal shields on both sides. The listed dimensions are 10 × 19 × 5 mm, with a 21 mm flange OD and 1 mm flange thickness. Material, clearance, tolerance and lubrication requirements can be confirmed from the full product specification.
Key Specifications for a Quotation
You do not need to provide every detail before requesting a quote. A complete bearing number and quantity are often enough to begin. If the original number is missing or a replacement needs further confirmation, additional dimensions, drawings or operating requirements help identify the correct model more quickly.
| Information | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Complete bearing number | Provides the starting point for series, size and closure identification. |
| Quantity | Allows price, MOQ and lead time to be confirmed for the requested order. |
| Bore × OD × width | Confirms the main bearing dimensions and mounting space. |
| Flange OD and thickness | Helps confirm the fit against the housing face or mounting shoulder. |
| Open, ZZ or other closure | Identifies the required contamination protection and lubrication arrangement. |
| Material and clearance | Useful when the replacement requires a specific ring material or internal clearance. |
| Drawing or sample photo | Helps identify an unmarked bearing or confirm differences between similar models. |
| Packaging requirements | Allows OEM, private-label or neutral packaging to be included in the quotation. |
EZO and NMB Replacement and Cross-Reference Notes
TFL supplies alternatives for EZO, NMB and other flanged bearing references. Send the complete original part number and quantity whenever available. Our flanged ball bearing cross-reference chart can help identify possible matches. The proposed TFL bearing is confirmed against the relevant dimensions, flange geometry, clearance, material, closure and other specification requirements before the order is finalized.
Common Applications and Operating Requirements
Flanged ball bearings are commonly used in packaging machinery, conveyor rollers, printing equipment, feed mechanisms, compact drives and automation systems where an outer-ring flange provides convenient bearing location. Load, speed, lubrication and environmental conditions remain relevant when selecting a new configuration or confirming a replacement. Our flanged ball bearing application selection guide covers these considerations in more detail.
Representative Models for Distributor RFQs
Common reference examples include F6700ZZ with a 10 × 15 × 4 mm bearing size, F6800ZZ with a 10 × 19 × 5 mm bearing size, and FR8ZZ with a 0.5-inch bore. These models illustrate different sizes within the range and can be included alongside other bearing numbers in a mixed-model RFQ.
Mixed-Model Orders and Distributor Supply
TFL supports bearing distributors, importers and industrial resellers purchasing multiple flanged bearing models or other bearing types in one order. Send a model list or BOM with quantities, original brand references and any special requirements. The quotation can cover the proposed TFL models, specification differences, price, MOQ and lead time.
Custom specifications, OEM or neutral packaging, inspection requirements and consolidated shipment can be coordinated for confirmed orders. Model numbers, quantities, visible condition and agreed packing requirements are checked before shipment. Additional products from our wider ball bearing product range can be included in the same enquiry.
Send Your Flanged Bearing List
Send the complete part numbers and quantities to request a quote. For unidentified bearings, add the five key dimensions, a drawing or a sample photo to help confirm the replacement.
EZO, NMB and other referenced brand names or part numbers are used only to identify replacement requirements. TFL supplies its own alternative bearing options and does not imply original-brand manufacture or authorized distribution. Final interchangeability is confirmed against the relevant dimensions and product specifications.
