W 61701 R Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 61701 R is a miniature single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision applications requiring compact design and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This bearing is designed to primarily handle radial loads and is characterized by its small cross-section, making it ideal for space-constrained assemblies. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options and facilitates high-speed operation, as indicated by its limiting speed of 48,000 rpm.

W 61701 R Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Flanged Outer Ring: The integrated flange provides axial location, simplifies housing design, and reduces assembly time and cost.
- All-Stainless Steel Construction: The use of stainless steel for the rings, balls, and cage ensures superior corrosion resistance and makes the bearing suitable for applications exposed to moisture or aggressive environments.
- High-Speed Capability: The open seal type and precision construction minimize friction and heat generation, enabling a high limiting speed of 48,000 rpm for its size.
- Precision Tolerances: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance and smooth operation in a wide range of applications.
- Compact and Lightweight: With a minimal width of 4 mm and a weight of just 0.0029 kg, it is an optimal solution for lightweight and miniaturized designs.
