| Open | No seals/shields - requires external lubrication |
F6-12M Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Precision Ground Components: The grooved raceway washers and chrome steel balls ensure smooth operation and minimal friction under axial loads.
Enhanced Stability: The brass cage maintains precise ball spacing, reducing friction and enabling stable operation at speeds up to 5,000 rpm.
High Load Capacity: With axial dynamic load rating of 360 lbf and static load rating of 282 lbf, this bearing delivers reliable performance in thrust applications.
Tight Tolerance Design: Bore and outside diameter tolerances of -0.008mm to 0 ensure precise fit and optimal performance in high-accuracy assemblies.
F6-12M Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Precision instruments and measuring devices
- Office automation equipment (printers, scanners)
- Small mechanical assemblies requiring axial load support
- Medical devices and laboratory equipment
- Low-torque applications where precise axial positioning is critical
