Product Overview: The 6917 Thin Section Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 6917 bearing is a specialized, extra-light single-row ball bearing and a key component of our 6900 Series. With dimensions of 85x120x18mm, this bearing features a significantly thinner cross-section compared to standard bearings with the same bore size. This design makes it an ideal solution for applications where space is limited and weight reduction is critical. As part of the versatile Deep Groove Ball Bearings family, it is engineered to handle radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, all while maintaining high-speed capabilities.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 6917 bearing offers reliable and efficient performance in compact machinery. Its unique thin-section profile allows for innovative and streamlined equipment design without compromising rotational performance. It is a preferred choice in high-tech industries requiring precision and minimal component footprint.
