W 61808 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 61808 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-precision applications requiring reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantages include a compact design with a 7 mm width, making it ideal for space-constrained assemblies, and the ability to accommodate primarily radial loads. Manufactured to P0 tolerance class, it ensures consistent and precise operation, suitable for applications demanding high reliability and dimensional stability.
W 61808 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a stainless steel deep groove ball bearing. |
| 61 | Indicates the bearing series, defining the cross-sectional dimensions. |
| 808 | Specifies the bore diameter (40 mm) and the external dimensions. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and easy re-lubrication, but requiring a clean operating environment. |
| None (Lubrication) | Supplied without lubrication, providing flexibility for the user to apply a lubricant suitable for the specific application. |
W 61808 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are made from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and making the bearing suitable for harsh environments, including those with exposure to water or chemicals.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 16,000 rpm, enabling use in demanding high-rotation applications.
- Radial Load Capacity: Engineered to handle significant radial dynamic load ratings (877 lbf), ensuring durability and long service life under load.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to P0 tolerance and standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing guarantees smooth, low-vibration, and precise running, which is critical for accuracy in sensitive equipment.
- Compact & Lightweight: With a slim 7 mm width and a weight of only 0.029 kg, it is an excellent choice for applications where saving space and reducing weight are priorities.
