S6901 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The S6901 is a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance applications requiring precision and reliability. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This bearing is designed to primarily accommodate radial loads and is manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, ensuring smooth operation and consistent performance. Its compact design, with a 12 mm bore and 6 mm width, makes it ideal for space-constrained assemblies demanding high rotational accuracy.
S6901 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| S6901 | Basic Model Number | Denotes a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 12mm bore and 24mm outside diameter. |
| (Open) | Seal Type | The bearing is supplied without seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and requiring external lubrication. |
| (C0) | Radial Internal Clearance | Specifies a standard, normal internal clearance group (0.003mm to 0.018mm), suitable for most general applications. |
S6901 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and stainless steel cage provide superior corrosion resistance, making the bearing suitable for harsh environments and ensuring long service life.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and precision-ground components contribute to a high limiting speed of 25,200 rpm, enabling use in demanding high-speed applications.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class, this bearing ensures low noise, low vibration, and smooth rotation, which is critical for precision instruments.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 585 lbf and a static load rating of 295 lbf, it offers reliable performance under significant radial loads.
