W 6006-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6006-2Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding applications. Engineered with stainless steel construction throughout its rings, balls, and cage, it offers superior corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle significant radial loads while being shielded (2Z) on both sides for contaminant protection and pre-lubricated for long service life. This combination makes it a compact, reliable, and low-maintenance solution for high-precision machinery.
W 6006-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a stainless steel bearing. |
| 6006 | The basic bearing series and size designation (30mm bore, 55mm OD, 13mm width). |
| -2Z | Indicates the bearing is fitted with non-contact steel shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to the high limiting speed. |
W 6006-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Stainless Steel Construction: All components are made from stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and making the bearing suitable for harsh environments, including those requiring washdown or exposure to certain chemicals.
- High Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and optimized geometry enable high radial dynamic and static load ratings, ensuring reliable performance under significant stress.
- Optimized for Speed: The combination of a low-friction stainless steel cage and non-contact shields allows for a high limiting speed of 14,000 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Pre-lubricated with grease and sealed by shields, the bearing is ready for use and requires no relubrication, reducing lifecycle costs and simplifying installation.
- Precision Tolerances: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class and standard radial internal clearance (CN), ensuring consistent performance and smooth operation in a wide range of applications.
