S691x Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The S691x is a miniature deep groove ball bearing designed for applications demanding compact size and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. As a single row bearing with an open design, it is optimized for high-speed operation and primarily handles radial loads. Its extremely small dimensions, with a bore of just 1.5 mm and a weight of only 0.2 g, make it an ideal solution for precision instruments and compact mechanisms where space and weight are critical constraints.
S691x Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| S691 | Indicates the core bearing series, defining the basic dimensions and internal geometry. |
| x | A placeholder for the shield or seal suffix. The "Open" specification means no shield or seal is present, allowing for higher limiting speeds and easy re-lubrication. |
S691x Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The open construction and stainless steel cage minimize friction and drag, enabling a high limiting speed of 76,500 rpm. This makes it suitable for very fast-rotating spindles and motors.
- Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is well-suited for applications exposed to moisture or corrosive environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Precision & Low Noise: Built to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 / 0.002mm to 0.013mm), it provides smooth and quiet operation, which is essential for sensitive electronic and medical devices.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With ultra-small bearing dimensions (1.5mm bore, 5mm OD, 2mm width) and a minimal weight of 0.2 g, it enables the design of smaller and lighter end products.
S691x Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Precision Medical Devices: Surgical hand tools, dental drills, and miniature pumps.
- Small Motors and Gearboxes: Stepper motors, coreless motors, and miniature DC motors used in drones, robotics, and optical drives.
- Instrumentation and Sensors: High-speed encoders, gyroscopes, and precision measuring equipment.
- Office Automation Equipment: Small fans, scanners, and printers.
- Electronic Shutters and Actuators: Camera mechanisms and miniature positioning systems.
