W 617/8 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 617/8 is a metric 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 minimal cross-section and low weight make it an ideal solution for precision instruments and compact mechanisms where space is at a premium.
W 617/8 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- W: Designates a series of stainless steel deep groove ball bearings.
- 617: Indicates a specific bearing series with a very small cross-section.
- /8: Specifies the bore diameter of the bearing, which is 8 mm.
W 617/8 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are manufactured from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and suitability for harsh environments or washdown applications.
- Compact and Lightweight: With an outer diameter of just 12 mm and a width of 2.5 mm, this bearing is engineered for applications with severe space constraints, contributing to a lower overall system weight.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and precision manufacturing allow for a high limiting speed of 63,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed spindles and small motors.
- Radial Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and single-row design are optimized to efficiently support radial dynamic and static loads in compact assemblies.
