S696 2rs Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The S696 2RS is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high reliability in compact applications. Engineered with stainless steel rings, balls, and cage, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its sealed design (2RS), which provides robust protection against contaminants, making it suitable for applications requiring minimal maintenance. This bearing is optimized to handle primarily radial loads efficiently while offering a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to 110°C, ensuring stable performance in diverse environments.
S696 2rs Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| S696 | Basic bearing designation indicating a metric deep groove ball bearing with a 6 mm bore, 15 mm outside diameter, and 5 mm width. |
| 2RS | Signifies contact seals on both sides made of Nitrile Rubber (NBR). This provides superior protection against dust, moisture, and other contaminants, retaining lubrication effectively. |
S696 2rs Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Corrosion Resistance & Durability: Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is ideal for harsh or washdown environments where corrosion is a concern.
- Effective Sealing & Lubrication Retention: The double-sided contact seals (2RS) effectively shield the internal components, preserving the factory-applied grease and extending service life with minimal maintenance.
- Optimized Load Capacity & Speed: With a radial dynamic load rating of 231 lbf and a limiting speed of 36,000 rpm, it delivers reliable performance for its size class. The MC3 radial internal clearance (0.002mm to 0.013mm) ensures smooth operation under standard operating conditions.
- Precision & Consistency: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class, it guarantees consistent dimensional accuracy and running performance for general precision applications.
S696 2rs Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Small Electric Motors: Ideal for fans, blowers, and small precision motors due to its compact bearing dimensions and sealed construction.
- Medical and Laboratory Equipment: Its stainless steel construction and clean operation make it suitable for sensitive environments.
- Food Processing & Packaging Machinery: Corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand washdowns are critical advantages here.
- Precision Instruments and Office Automation Equipment: Such as scanners, copiers, and small drives where reliable, low-noise operation is essential.
