696 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 696 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in compact applications. Engineered with precision ABEC1 tolerance, it delivers consistent operation and is optimized for handling radial loads with high efficiency. Its compact dimensions (6mm bore, 15mm OD, 5mm width) and lightweight design (3.85g) make it ideal for space-constrained assemblies requiring a balance of performance and size. Manufactured from chrome steel for durability and featuring a stainless steel cage, this bearing offers robust service life in a wide operating temperature range.
696 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Element | Technical Significance |
|---|---|
| 696 | Standard series designation for a metric single row deep groove ball bearing. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields. Requires external sealing in contaminated environments and periodic lubrication. |
| MC3 | Specifies the radial internal clearance group (0.002mm to 0.013mm), suitable for general operating conditions. |
696 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Deep Groove Raceway & High-Capacity Design: The uninterrupted deep groove raceways on both rings enable smooth operation and efficient handling of radial loads, with a dynamic load rating of 256 lbf.
- Stainless Steel Cage for Stability: The stainless steel cage ensures precise ball guidance and contributes to stable operation, supporting the bearing's limiting speed of 40,000 rpm.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with tight dimensional control on bore, outside diameter, and width, ensuring reliable fit and performance in precision assemblies.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: Features 7 precision balls of 2.381 mm diameter, configured to maximize load distribution and minimize friction for smooth rotation.
