F2-6 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The F2-6 is a metric miniature thrust ball bearing engineered for applications requiring precise axial load handling in compact spaces. This open-type bearing delivers reliable performance in thrust load conditions, featuring a chrome steel construction for durability and a brass cage for stable operation. Its minimal weight of 0.6 g and compact dimensions make it ideal for precision instruments and small mechanisms where space and weight are critical constraints.
F2-6 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| F2-6 | Indicates a thrust ball bearing series with 2mm bore diameter and 6mm outside diameter |
| Open | No seals or shields, allowing for custom lubrication optimization |
| Flat Raceway | Washers feature flat raceways for consistent axial load distribution |
F2-6 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Precision Engineering: Manufactured with chrome steel rings and balls for excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability. The 6-ball configuration with 1mm ball diameter ensures smooth operation and consistent load distribution.
High-Speed Capability: The brass cage provides superior guidance and stability, enabling operation at limiting speeds up to 16,000 rpm. This makes the bearing suitable for high-speed miniature applications.
Axial Load Performance: Specifically designed for thrust load applications with axial dynamic load rating of 26 lbf and axial static load rating of 19 lbf. The flat raceway washers optimize contact area for improved load capacity.
Precision Tolerances: Features tight dimensional tolerances (bore and OD: -0.008mm to 0) ensuring precise fit and minimal runout in high-precision assemblies.
