W 617/6 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 617/6 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high precision and reliable performance in compact spaces. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary function is to support radial loads efficiently. The bearing features an open design and comes without lubrication, providing flexibility for custom application-specific greasing. With its very small cross-section, it is an ideal solution for applications demanding minimal weight and space, such as miniature instruments and precision mechanisms.
W 617/6 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Indicates a specific manufacturer series or design for miniature deep groove ball bearings. |
| 617/6 | Denotes the bearing size series (61) and the bore diameter (6 mm). |
| No Seals/Suffixes | The absence of additional suffix codes confirms an open (unsealed) design and standard CN radial internal clearance. |
W 617/6 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are made of stainless steel, providing superior resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments and cleanroom applications.
- High Precision & Low Noise: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class with a CN clearance, this bearing ensures smooth, quiet, and precise operation, which is critical for sensitive equipment.
- Compact and Lightweight: With dimensions of just 6x10x2.5 mm and a weight of only 0.0006 kg, it is designed for applications where space and weight are at a premium.
- Versatile Lubrication Options: The open seal type and delivery in an unlubricated state allow engineers to select the optimal high-speed or specialty grease for their specific operating conditions, including the wide temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
W 617/6 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Precision Instruments (optical encoders, measuring devices)
- Small Electric Motors (for drones, medical devices, miniature fans)
- Office Automation Equipment (printers, scanners)
- Robotics and RC Models (small joints, gearboxes)
- Any application requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant, and compact radial bearing.
