F6-13M Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The F6-13M is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for pure axial load applications. This compact, high-precision component is designed to accommodate high thrust loads in a minimal axial space. Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, it delivers excellent durability and reliable performance. Its design is ideal for applications demanding high limiting speeds and precise axial positioning, making it a critical component in high-reliability assemblies.
F6-13M Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| F6-13M | Basic designation for a metric thrust ball bearing with a 6mm bore and 13mm outside diameter. | Defines the core bearing dimensions and type. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields. | Allows for custom lubrication schemes but requires a clean operating environment. |
| Grooved Raceway | The washers feature a precision-ground groove for the balls. | Optimizes ball guidance and load distribution, contributing to smooth operation and high axial dynamic load rating. |
F6-13M Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity: Designed specifically to handle thrust loads, with a dynamic load rating of 360 lbf and a static load rating of 282 lbf. The grooved raceway on the washers ensures optimal stress distribution.
- High-Speed Capability: The brass cage accurately spaces the eight high-precision balls, enabling stable operation and achieving a high limiting speed of 5,000 rpm.
- Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured with tight tolerances on bore diameter, outside diameter, and width, this bearing provides precise axial location and high rigidity in compact assemblies.
- Material & Compliance: Constructed from chrome steel for all critical components, ensuring high wear resistance and long service life. The bearing is ROHS and REACH compliant.
F6-13M Bearing Typical Application Areas
This thrust ball bearing is ideally suited for a variety of compact mechanisms requiring high axial load support, including:
- Automotive components (e.g., clutches, steering systems)
- Office automation equipment (e.g., printers, scanners)
- Small gearboxes and transmission systems
- Precision instruments and medical devices
- Low-torque, high-speed spindles
