W 61808-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 61808-2Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable operation and long service life. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle radial loads efficiently while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. The inclusion of integrated shields (2Z) and pre-applied grease lubrication makes it a compact, ready-to-install, and largely maintenance-free solution, ideal for applications demanding precision and reliability within a standard P0 tolerance class.
W 61808-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- W: Manufacturer's prefix/series identifier.
- 61808: The basic bearing designation. "61" indicates a deep groove ball bearing series with a particularly thin cross-section. "08" specifies a 40 mm bore diameter (bore = 08 * 5 = 40 mm).
- 2Z: Signifies that the bearing is equipped with shields on both sides. These non-contact shields protect the bearing interior from coarse contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to the high limiting speed.
W 61808-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact and Lightweight Design: With a width of only 7 mm and a weight of just 0.03 kg, this bearing is engineered for space-constrained applications without compromising performance.
- Robust Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and optimized geometry enable a dynamic load rating of 877 lbf and a static load rating of 843 lbf, providing reliable support for radial loads.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a low-friction stainless steel cage, shields (2Z), and effective grease lubrication allows for a high limiting speed of 13,000 rpm.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The pre-lubricated and shielded (2Z) construction seals in the lubricant and seals out debris, enabling long-term operation without re-lubrication, especially within the specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
