W 618/6 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 618/6 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision radial load applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in demanding environments. Its compact design, with a 6 mm bore and 3.5 mm width, provides a high-performance solution where space is limited. This bearing is characterized by its open design for high-speed operation and is supplied without lubrication, allowing for custom greasing to meet specific application requirements.
Model Code Breakdown
- W: Designates a series of stainless steel deep groove ball bearings.
- 618: Indicates the bearing series, defining the cross-sectional dimensions.
- /6: Specifies the bore diameter of the bearing, which is 6 mm.
W 618/6 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The use of stainless steel for all critical components ensures superior corrosion resistance and makes the bearing ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or requiring frequent washdowns.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design, combined with a precision-stamped stainless steel cage, minimizes friction and allows for a high limiting speed of 67,000 rpm.
- Radial Load Capacity: Engineered to handle significant radial dynamic loads (139 lbf) efficiently, providing reliable performance in compact assemblies.
- Standard Tolerance & Clearance: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class and CN radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance and interchangeability.
W 618/6 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Precision instruments and measuring devices
- Small electric motors and gearboxes
- Medical and dental equipment
- Food processing machinery (due to its stainless steel construction)
- Office automation equipment and small fans
