638/4-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 638/4-2Z is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for compact, high-performance applications. As a single row deep groove ball bearing with shielded construction, it excels at handling radial loads efficiently. Its metric design, featuring a very small 4 mm bore, makes it ideal for applications where space is at a premium and reliable rotational performance is critical. Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class, it offers superior running accuracy and is pre-lubricated with grease for immediate, long-lasting operation.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 638 | Standard series designation for miniature deep groove ball bearings. |
| /4 | Indicates a bore diameter of 4 mm. |

638/4-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Built to P6 tolerance class with tight dimensional tolerances, this bearing ensures smooth, precise, and vibration-free operation, contributing to overall system accuracy.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and chrome steel construction enable it to handle significant radial dynamic loads (95 lbf) for its compact size.
- Reliable High-Speed Performance: The combination of a low-friction stainless steel cage, shielded design, and pre-applied grease enables a limiting speed of 70,000 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing.
- Maintenance-Free & Long Service Life: The 2Z shields retain the factory-applied grease and protect the internal components from dust and debris, resulting in a sealed-for-life, maintenance-free solution ideal for hard-to-reach applications.
