Product Overview: The F 608 Flanged Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The F 608 is a high-precision miniature flanged ball bearing, combining the standard 608 bearing with an integrated flange on the outer ring. With core dimensions of 8x22x7mm, this bearing is a member of our Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearings and 6000 Series collections. The flange simplifies mounting by allowing the bearing to be located axially in a housing without the need for a separate shoulder or snap ring, making it a popular choice for compact and cost-sensitive designs. Its deep groove raceway geometry enables it to support both radial and axial loads at high speeds.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our F 608 bearings meet stringent quality standards. This versatile component is essential in a wide variety of light-duty mechanical and electronic applications where precise positioning and reliable rotation are critical. Explore our full range of deep groove ball bearings for all your project needs.
Key Features of the F 608 Bearing
- Integrated Flange: Facilitates easy and accurate mounting against a housing shoulder, providing positive axial location.
- Miniature Size: Compact 8x22x7mm dimensions make it ideal for applications with limited space.
- Deep Groove Raceways: Designed to accommodate radial loads, axial loads in both directions, and combined loads.
- High-Speed Operation: Engineered for low friction and smooth performance, making it suitable for high rotational speeds.
- Versatile Design: One of the most common bearing types, used across a vast range of industries and applications.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for excellent durability and extended service life.
Common Applications
- 3D Printers: Widely used in pulley systems, idlers, and filament guides for smooth linear and rotational motion.
- Robotics & Automation: Essential for small joints, actuators, and positioning systems requiring precision.
- RC Models: Ideal for wheels, motor shafts, and gearboxes in RC cars, drones, and helicopters.
- Small Electric Motors: Provides robust support for shafts in fractional horsepower motors and fans.
- Skateboards & Scooters: A standard size for wheels, where the flange can aid in alignment and spacing.
- Office Equipment: Used in printers, scanners, and copiers to guide rollers and moving parts.
- Medical & Lab Equipment: Suitable for precision instruments and devices requiring reliable, low-friction movement.
Benefits of Using the F 608 Bearing
- Simplified Assembly: The flange eliminates the need for snap rings or precisely machined housing shoulders, speeding up installation.
- Improved Positional Accuracy: Provides a secure and fixed axial position for the shaft and related components.
- Reduced Housing Costs: Allows for the use of simpler, straight-through bored housings, lowering manufacturing complexity and cost.
- Space-Efficient Design: The integrated flange offers a compact solution compared to using a separate bearing and retaining ring.
- Enhanced Reliability: Prevents axial movement of the bearing within the housing, contributing to more stable machine operation.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Combines the function of a bearing and a locator into a single, economical component.
