D/W R2-6 R-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The D/W R2-6 R-2Z is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring high reliability and compact design. As a single row, deep groove ball bearing, it is engineered to primarily support radial loads. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantages include a compact flange for secure mounting, shielded design for contamination protection, and pre-lubrication for long service life, making it an ideal choice for high-speed, low-torque operations in confined spaces.
D/W R2-6 R-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| D/W | Manufacturer designation (Dunk/Whitney) |
| R2-6 | Bearing series and size code (0.125" bore, 0.375" OD) |
| R | Flanged outer ring |
| 2Z | Shielded on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while maintaining low friction and enabling high-speed operation. |
D/W R2-6 R-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Flanged Design & High Rigidity: The integrated flange on the outer ring simplifies mounting and positioning, enhancing system stability and rigidity. This is critical for maintaining precision in compact assemblies.
- Radial Load Capacity: As a deep groove ball bearing, it is optimized to carry significant radial loads (82 lbf dynamic, 26 lbf static) efficiently.
- High-Speed Performance: The combination of a stainless steel cage, precision-ground components, and shielded design allows for a high limiting speed of 63,000 rpm.
- Maintenance-Free & Long Life: The bearing is pre-lubricated with grease and features non-contact shields (2Z), creating a sealed-for-life unit that requires no relubrication, reducing maintenance costs.
- Corrosion Resistance: All components (rings, balls, cage) are made of stainless steel, ensuring reliable performance in humid or corrosive environments within the specified temperature range of -30° to 120 °C.
