W 61700 X-2RS1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 61700 X-2RS1 is a sealed miniature deep groove ball bearing designed for precision applications requiring compact dimensions and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to handle radial loads efficiently while the integrated contact seals (2RS1) protect against contamination and retain lubrication, ensuring long service life and maintenance-free operation in demanding environments.
W 61700 X-2RS1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| W | Stainless Steel Bearing | Indicates the bearing rings, balls, and cage are made from stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. |
| 61700 | Series & Size Code | Denotes the miniature deep groove ball bearing series with a 10 mm bore, 15 mm OD, and 4 mm width. |
| X | Optional Design Change | A manufacturer-specific code, often indicating a design variation within the standard series. |
| 2RS1 | Sealing Type | Signifies contact seals on both sides. The RS1 seal type provides effective protection against dust and moisture while retaining grease. |
W 61700 X-2RS1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With a cross-section of just 4 mm and a weight of only 0.0018 kg, this bearing is ideal for applications with severe space and weight constraints.
- Robust Sealing: The 2RS1 contact seals on both sides effectively shield the internal components from contaminants and prevent lubricant leakage, enabling reliable operation in unclean environments.
- Stainless Steel Construction: All-wearing components (rings, balls, cage) are manufactured from stainless steel, providing superior resistance to rust and corrosion, which is critical for applications exposed to moisture or chemicals.
- Pre-Greased & Ready-to-Use: The bearing is pre-lubricated with grease, facilitating maintenance-free operation right from installation and supporting a limiting speed of 24,000 rpm.
- Standard Precision & Clearance: Manufactured to P0 (Normal) tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance for a wide range of general-purpose applications.
W 61700 X-2RS1 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The W 61700 X-2RS1 is engineered for compact, high-speed mechanisms requiring corrosion resistance and sealed protection. Its typical applications include:
- Precision Small Motors: Used in stepper motors, servo motors, and miniature DC motors.
- Medical and Dental Equipment: Ideal for handheld surgical tools, dental handpieces, and pump drives due to its stainless steel construction and reliability.
- Office Automation Equipment: Found in scanners, printers, and copiers.
- Instrumentation and Control Systems: Suitable for encoders, sensors, and small gearboxes.
- Food and Beverage Processing Machinery: Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for environments requiring washdowns.
