W 618/9 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 618/9 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision radial load applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its compact design, with a 9 mm bore and 4 mm width, provides a high-precision, space-saving solution for instruments and small machinery requiring reliable performance under radial dynamic loads up to 171 lbf. The open design and P0 tolerance class ensure smooth operation and consistent performance.
