W 61701 R-2ZS Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 61701 R-2ZS is a metric miniature deep groove ball bearing designed for applications demanding high precision and reliability in compact spaces. As a single row bearing with dual shielded (2ZS) construction, it offers effective protection against contamination while retaining lubrication. Its primary advantage lies in handling radial loads efficiently, making it ideal for high-speed operations with a limiting speed of 38,000 rpm. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it provides excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C. This bearing is pre-lubricated with grease, ensuring maintenance-free operation and long service life, compliant with ROHS and REACH standards.

W 61701 R-2ZS Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With a bore diameter of 12 mm, outside diameter of 18 mm, and a narrow width of 4 mm, this bearing is ideal for space-constrained applications. The flanged outer ring (flange OD: 19.5 mm) facilitates easy and secure mounting, reducing assembly time and cost.
- Robust Load Capacity: Engineered to handle radial dynamic load rating of 118 lbf and radial static load rating of 60 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under various operational stresses.
- High-Speed Capability: The stainless steel cage and optimized design enable a limiting speed of 38,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed miniature machinery.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The dual contact seals (2ZS) effectively shield against dust and moisture, while the pre-applied grease lubrication ensures long-term, maintenance-free performance, even in demanding environments.
- Corrosion Resistance & Compliance: Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and is compliant with ROHS and REACH standards, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for sensitive applications.
