696zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 696ZZ is a metric miniature ball bearing featuring a single row design and shielded construction, engineered for high-performance applications where space is limited. This precision bearing is designed to primarily accommodate radial loads efficiently. Its compact dimensions (6mm bore, 15mm OD, 5mm width) and use of high-grade chrome steel components make it an ideal choice for applications demanding reliability, smooth operation, and long service life. The inclusion of stainless steel shields protects the internal components from contamination, enhancing its operational integrity.
696zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 696 | The basic bearing series number, indicating the specific size and internal design. |
| ZZ | Signifies that the bearing is equipped with non-contact metal shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against dust and debris while minimizing friction, making it suitable for high-speed operation. |
696zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single-row deep groove geometry is precision-engineered to handle significant radial dynamic load ratings (256 lbf), ensuring stable performance under stress.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 40,000 rpm, the bearing is suitable for demanding, high-velocity applications. The low-friction stainless steel cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to this exceptional performance.
- Enhanced Contamination Resistance: The 300 series stainless steel shields on both sides effectively seal the bearing interior from particulate contaminants, significantly extending service life and reducing maintenance needs.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3: 0.002mm to 0.013mm), this bearing delivers consistent, smooth, and quiet operation essential for precision mechanisms.
696zz Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 696ZZ miniature ball bearing is widely used in various compact and high-speed devices, including:
- Small Electric Motors (e.g., drone motors, RC vehicles)
- Precision Instruments and Optical Devices
- Computer Cooling Fans and Spindle Drives
- Office Automation Equipment (printers, scanners)
- Medical and Dental Hand Tools
