685zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 685zz is a miniature deep groove ball bearing designed for compact applications requiring reliable performance. This single row construction with shielded protection offers an excellent balance of size, load capacity, and durability. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, it is characterized by its small bore diameter of 5 mm and lightweight design, making it ideal for high-speed operations in confined spaces. Manufactured to ABEC1 precision class, it provides consistent performance for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

685zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With an outside diameter of just 11 mm and a width of 5 mm, this bearing is engineered for space-constrained applications. Its low weight of 1.93 g minimizes rotational inertia.
- Robust Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and chrome steel construction enable efficient handling of radial dynamic loads up to 137 lbf and radial static loads up to 51 lbf.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, precision-ground balls, and optimized internal geometry supports a limiting speed of 45,000 rpm.
- Enhanced Contamination Protection: The 300 series stainless steel shields on both sides help retain lubrication and exclude larger particulate matter, extending service life.
- Precision & Consistency: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance standards with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 group), ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
