6218 2S1 HC5C3GJN Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6218 2S1 HC5C3GJN is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for exceptional performance in demanding applications. This precision bearing is distinguished by its hybrid ceramic construction, featuring Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) balls and chrome steel rings, which significantly enhances its operational capabilities. It is designed to primarily handle high radial loads and is optimized for high-speed operation. Its key advantages include reduced friction, extended service life, and the ability to perform reliably across a wide temperature range from -30°C to 200°C, making it a superior choice for high-reliability scenarios.
6218 2S1 HC5C3GJN Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6218: Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 90mm bore and 160mm outside diameter.
- 2S1: Indicates the bearing is supplied with a special heat stabilization treatment, suitable for operating temperatures up to 200°C.
- HC5: Signifies the Hybrid Ceramic construction with Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) balls.
- C3: Denotes a greater than normal radial internal clearance, which is beneficial for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used.
- GJN: Specifies the use of a high-temperature, solid lubricant (Molybdenum Disulphide) fill.
6218 2S1 HC5C3GJN Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Hybrid Ceramic Design: The combination of chrome steel rings and Silicon Nitride balls results in lower density, reduced centrifugal forces, and higher stiffness. This directly contributes to superior high-speed performance, lower operating temperatures, and dramatically increased bearing life compared to all-steel equivalents.
- High Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 21,604 lbf and a static load rating of 16,074 lbf, this bearing is built to withstand significant radial loads.
- Optimized for High Speeds: The hybrid construction and C3 clearance allow for a high limiting speed of 4,000 rpm, making it ideal for demanding rotational applications.
- Robust & Reliable: The heat-stabilized rings (2S1) and solid lubricant fill (GJN) ensure dimensional stability and consistent performance even at elevated temperatures, offering a maintenance-free solution for many applications.
