W 625-2Z/VT378 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 625-2Z/VT378 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in compact spaces. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle radial loads efficiently while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. The shielded (2Z) design, combined with factory-applied grease lubrication, ensures long service life and reliable operation, making it a maintenance-free solution for applications demanding high reliability and cleanliness.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W 625 | Basic bearing designation, indicating a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 5 mm bore and 16 mm outside diameter. |
| -2Z | Bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against contamination while minimizing friction, contributing to the bearing's high limiting speed. |
| /VT378 | Specifies the type of high-performance grease used for lubrication. This grease is suitable for the specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C, ensuring consistent performance. |
W 625-2Z/VT378 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Stainless Steel Construction: All components, including rings, balls, and cage, are made of stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and making it ideal for harsh environments or applications requiring washdown.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and single-row design are engineered to support significant radial dynamic and static loads (321 lbf and 142 lbf respectively) within its compact bearing dimensions (5x16x5 mm).
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a low-friction stainless steel cage and non-contact shields allows for a limiting speed of 50,000 rpm, qualifying it as a high-speed bearing for miniature applications.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The sealed unit with pre-applied grease is lubricated for life, eliminating the need for re-lubrication and reducing total cost of ownership.
