W 617/5 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 617/5 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision applications requiring compact dimensions and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this bearing offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary function is to support radial loads efficiently. With its miniature size (5mm bore, 8mm OD, 2mm width) and P0 tolerance class, it is an ideal choice for high-precision, space-constrained assemblies demanding consistent operation and long service life.

W 617/5 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are manufactured from stainless steel, providing superior resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments and clean applications.
- High-Speed Capability: The single-row deep groove raceway and stainless steel cage are optimized for smooth operation, supporting a limiting speed of 85,000 rpm.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to P0 (ABEC 1) tolerance class with tight bore and outside diameter tolerances, ensuring high running accuracy and minimal vibration for sensitive mechanisms.
- Radial Load Capacity: The deep groove geometry is designed to handle radial dynamic loads up to 39 lbf and static loads up to 14 lbf effectively.
- Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for operation in temperatures from -30°C to 120°C.
