S6802 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The S6802 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision and reliability in compact applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. As an open-type bearing, it is designed for radial loads and requires lubrication, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for high-speed, low-noise operations. Its compact dimensions (15mm bore, 24mm OD, 5mm width) and ABEC-1 precision class make it ideal for applications demanding high rotational accuracy and smooth operation.
S6802 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| S | Stainless Steel | Indicates all critical components (rings, balls, cage) are made from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance. |
| 68 | Series Designation | Denotes a very thin-section, ultra-light series, optimized for space-constrained designs. |
| 02 | Bore Diameter | Specifies a 15 mm bore diameter. |
| (No suffix) | Open, No Seal/Shield | The bearing is supplied open, allowing for custom lubrication schemes but requiring protection from contaminants. |
S6802 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: Provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments, including those requiring washdown or exposure to certain chemicals.
- Deep Groove Raceway: The geometry of the raceway is optimized to support primarily radial loads but can also accommodate moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 23,400 rpm, this bearing is designed for demanding high-speed applications. The stainless steel cage contributes to smooth operation and dynamic stability.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with a standard C0 radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent running accuracy and low vibration.
- Compact and Lightweight: The 68-series design results in a very thin cross-section and a low weight of only 7.6 grams, ideal for minimizing inertia and saving space.
S6802 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Precision Instruments: Optical encoders, medical devices, and laboratory equipment.
- Small Electric Motors: High-speed spindles, miniature DC motors, and fan motors.
- Office Automation: Printers, scanners, and copiers.
- Food and Beverage Equipment: Where stainless steel's corrosion resistance is mandatory.
- Robotics and Automation: Small joints, guides, and drives requiring precise, reliable motion.
