W 618/2.5 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 618/2.5 is a metric miniature deep groove ball bearing designed for applications demanding compact size and reliable performance. As a single row, open type bearing, it excels in handling radial loads efficiently. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various industrial environments. Its P0 tolerance class and CN radial internal clearance ensure consistent operation, while its extremely lightweight design (0.0002 kg) is ideal for space-constrained and precision mechanisms.
W 618/2.5 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- W: Indicates a stainless steel bearing series.
- 618: Denotes the standard "618" series for miniature deep groove ball bearings.
- 2.5: Specifies the bore diameter of 2.5 mm.
- Seal type: Open - Allows for higher speeds and easy re-lubrication but requires a clean operating environment.
- Lubrication: None - Supplied without grease, providing flexibility for the user to apply a specialized lubricant suited for the specific application.
W 618/2.5 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from stainless steel rings, balls, and cage, the bearing is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity in harsh or washdown environments.
- Compact and Lightweight: With dimensions of 2.5 mm (bore) x 6 mm (OD) x 1.8 mm (width) and a minimal weight, it is engineered for miniature applications where size and mass are critical factors.
- Precision Performance: The P0 tolerance class (normal) and standardized CN radial internal clearance provide reliable and predictable running accuracy for a wide range of general-purpose applications.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and stainless steel construction contribute to a high limiting speed of 110,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed spindles and small motors.
