SMI Pack Tunnel Oven Bearing (MF801062) Cross Reference

Introduction

Packaging machinery depends on reliable bearings to ensure smooth conveyor movement and consistent production performance. During maintenance, identifying the correct replacement bearing is often more important than simply knowing the machine model.

This Industry Note introduces the OEM bearing used in an SMI Pack Tunnel Oven and provides general technical reference for bearing identification and possible aftermarket replacement options.

OEM Bearing Information

Equipment: SMI Pack Tunnel Oven

OEM Part Number: MF801062

Equivalent Bearing: 6202-ZZCM

Bearing Type: Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Dimensions: 15 × 35 × 11 mm

Shield Type: ZZ (Double Metal Shields)

Bearing Description

The 6202-ZZCM is a single-row deep groove ball bearing fitted with double metal shields (ZZ). The bearing has standard dimensions of 15 × 35 × 11 mm and is specified by the equipment manufacturer for this application.

Note:

CM is a manufacturer-specified motor-grade internal clearance commonly used in electric motor bearings. It is generally designed to provide stable running characteristics with low vibration and low noise. The exact clearance specification may vary between bearing manufacturers.

When replacing an OEM bearing, the internal clearance, shield type, operating temperature, rotational speed, lubrication, shaft and housing fits should all be considered.

Possible Aftermarket Bearing Options

Depending on the operating environment and maintenance requirements, possible aftermarket replacement options may include:

• Standard Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearings

• Stainless Steel Bearings

• Hybrid Ceramic Bearings

• Full Ceramic Bearings

Each bearing material offers different advantages in terms of corrosion resistance, friction, operating speed, lubrication requirements and service life.

The most appropriate bearing should be selected according to the actual application and operating conditions.

Disclaimer

This article is provided for general technical reference only.

The OEM part number and equivalent bearing designation are intended to assist with bearing identification. Possible aftermarket bearing options are provided as general engineering references and should not be interpreted as direct replacement recommendations for every application.

Final bearing selection should always be determined by qualified engineers or maintenance personnel after evaluating the equipment design, operating temperature, rotational speed, shaft and housing fits, lubrication, load conditions, and the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
