W 638/4 X-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 638/4 X-2Z is a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high performance in compact spaces. Engineered from stainless steel and featuring integral shields (2Z) with pre-applied grease lubrication, this bearing is built for reliable operation, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and contamination. Its primary strengths include a high limiting speed and the ability to handle significant radial loads, making it an ideal choice for applications demanding precision, longevity, and minimal maintenance.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W 638/4 | Bearing series and size designation (4mm bore, 10mm OD). |
| X | Designates a specific internal design or variant. |
| 2Z | Signifies bearings with shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against contamination while allowing for higher speeds compared to contact seals. |
W 638/4 X-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway and stainless steel construction provide a robust solution for handling radial dynamic loads up to 124 lbf, ensuring stable performance.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage and optimized grease lubrication enables a high limiting speed of 63,000 rpm, suitable for demanding high-speed applications.
- Maintenance-Free & Corrosion Resistant: The 2Z shields retain the lubricant and effectively exclude contaminants. Combined with the all-stainless-steel components, this results in a long-service-life, maintenance-free bearing that operates reliably within a temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
- Precision & Consistency: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures consistent running accuracy and smooth operation.
