A single-row deep groove ball bearing, 90 mm bore by 140 mm outside diameter by 24 mm wide, with pressed steel shields on both sides and factory grease sealed inside. Deep groove ball bearings carry radial load plus axial load in either direction. This double-shielded form is the standard fit-and-forget bearing for electric motors, gearbox end supports, fans, blowers and pump drives.

A single Z is one shield only; 2RS1 would be contact rubber seals, 2RZ low-friction non-contact sealsNo clearance suffix – normal (CN) radial internal clearance
6018ZZ is the same closure written in the Japanese style, and the two designations describe the same bearing.
Shields are the spec to get right, because they are not seals. Each shield is a stamped steel disc running with a small gap at the inner ring, so it adds almost no friction and does not limit speed — but it holds back dry dust and coarse debris only. It will not keep out washdown water, coolant mist or fine wet grit; a 2RS1 with contact rubber seals is the right part for that, at the price of more running torque and a lower speed ceiling.
Equally, this is not the same part as a 6018-Z with one shield. The double-shielded bearing carries its own grease charge and is closed to the housing on both sides, so it neither needs nor accepts lubricant from the gearbox. A single-shielded bearing depends on that feed. And an open 6018 is different again: it arrives dry and leaves both sealing and lubrication to the housing.
Clearance is normal (CN), which suits a shaft and housing at similar temperatures with a standard interference fit. If the original was a 6018-2Z/C3, fit that.

Sold as 1 piece, one double-shielded bearing. No snap ring, no housing.
At 90 mm bore, heat mounting to about 80 to 100 °C is easier than a cold press. Load only the ring being fitted and never across the balls — a shield knocked out of true will rub for the rest of the bearing’s life. Do not pry the shields out to add grease; the factory fill is matched to the bearing.
Genuine interchanges are same-envelope bearings shielded on both sides: FAG 6018-2Z, NSK 6018ZZ, NTN 6018ZZ, Koyo 6018ZZ and Nachi 6018ZZ. A 6018-Z (one shield), a 6018-2RS1 (contact seals), an open 6018 and a 6018-2Z/C3 (greater clearance) all change lubrication, sealing or fit-up — related parts, not drop-in equivalents.

Tapered, cylindrical, and spherical roller bearings all solve the same basic problem, carrying more load
If you pulled a bearing off general industrial equipment at random, there’s a good chance
