W 618/8-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 618/8-2Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for precision applications requiring high reliability. This metric bearing features stainless steel construction throughout (rings, balls, and cage) and integrated shields (2Z) for contamination protection. Its compact design, with a 4 mm width and 8 mm bore, provides excellent space-saving solutions while maintaining robust radial load capacity. Pre-lubricated with grease, it offers immediate operation and is suitable for a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C, making it ideal for applications demanding corrosion resistance and consistent performance.

W 618/8-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Complete stainless steel construction (AISI 440 rings and balls, stainless steel cage) ensures excellent performance in harsh, corrosive environments and meets ROHS/REACH compliance.
- Optimized Radial Load Capacity: The deep groove geometry and precision-ground components enable efficient handling of radial dynamic loads up to 161 lbf and static loads up to 67 lbf.
- Enhanced Contamination Protection: The non-contact shields (2Z) effectively exclude contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to the limiting speed of 45,000 rpm.
- Low Maintenance & Long Service Life: Pre-lubricated with high-quality grease and featuring standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing requires no relubrication under normal operating conditions, reducing maintenance needs.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class with tight dimensional tolerances (bore/OD: -0.008mm to 0), ensuring smooth operation and precise shaft positioning.
