Product Overview & Key Advantages
The 618/7 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-precision applications requiring compact design and reliable performance. As an open-type bearing, it is optimized for radial loads and offers excellent operational characteristics within its designated speed and temperature ranges. Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class, this bearing ensures superior running accuracy, making it ideal for applications demanding minimal vibration and precise rotation. Its compact cross-section (3.5 mm width) allows for integration into space-constrained assemblies without compromising performance.
Model Code Breakdown

| /7 | Indicates a bore diameter of 7 mm. |
| (No Seal Suffix) | The bearing is open, allowing for high-speed operation and facilitating custom lubrication schemes if required. |
618/7 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Precision Design: Built to P6 tolerance class with tight dimensional control on bore, outside diameter, and width, ensuring excellent running accuracy and system stability.
- Robust Material Construction: Features rings and balls made from chrome steel for high load capacity and durability, combined with a stainless steel cage for superior corrosion resistance and cage integrity at high speeds.
- Optimized for Radial Loads: The deep groove raceway and single row design are engineered to efficiently handle radial dynamic and static loads (175 lbf and 58 lbf respectively).
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 63,000 rpm, suitable for demanding high-rotation applications.
- Standard Internal Clearance: The CN radial internal clearance is the standard group, providing a versatile fit for a wide range of operating conditions.
