Q: What is the difference between 6204ZZ and 6204-2RS sealing?

A: ZZ means double metal shields; 2RS means double rubber seals. ZZ resists dust, has lower friction and higher limiting speed—good for clean, dry environments. 2RS seals better against oil and water but with slightly higher friction and lower speed—better for dusty or wet duty. Both share identical boundary dimensions and are interchangeable in mounting.
