602 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 602 metric ball bearing is a fundamental single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable radial load support. Characterized by its compact dimensions (2mm bore, 7mm OD) and lightweight construction (0.5g), this open-type bearing offers versatile mounting options and efficient operation. Manufactured from chrome steel with an ABEC1 tolerance class, it provides a cost-effective solution for applications demanding consistent performance and high rotational speeds up to 60,000 rpm.
602 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Element | Technical Significance |
|---|---|
| 60 | Series designation indicating a deep groove ball bearing with a specific cross-section. |
| 2 | Bore diameter code, corresponding to a 2 mm bore. |
| Open (No Seal Suffix) | No integral seals or shields, allowing for high-speed operation and custom lubrication schemes. Requires external sealing in contaminated environments. |
602 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Deep Groove Raceway: The deep, continuous raceways on both rings enable smooth operation and efficient handling of radial loads, as evidenced by its 74 lbf dynamic load rating.
- High-Speed Stainless Steel Cage: The stainless steel cage precisely guides the seven balls, ensuring stability and low friction at the limiting speed of 60,000 rpm.
- Precision Chrome Steel Construction: Both rings and balls are made from chrome steel, providing high hardness, wear resistance, and durability for long service life.
- Controlled Internal Clearance: The specified MC3 radial internal clearance (0.002mm to 0.013mm) ensures optimal performance by accommodating thermal expansion in various operating conditions.
602 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Small Precision Motors: Spindle support in miniature DC motors and stepper motors.
- Medical Devices & Instrumentation: Critical components in dental handpieces, miniature pumps, and optical scanners.
- Office Automation Equipment: Guide rollers and drive mechanisms in printers, scanners, and copiers.
- Robotics & RC Models: Joints, gearboxes, and wheel hubs requiring lightweight and responsive bearings.
