Product Overview: The 682 Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 682 bearing is a compact, high-precision component from our 6800 Series of extra-thin section Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 2mm bore diameter, 5mm outer diameter, and 2.3mm thickness, this bearing is engineered for applications where space is extremely limited, but reliable rotational performance is essential. Its single-row, deep groove geometry allows it to handle radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of small-scale mechanical systems.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 682 bearing offers low friction and quiet operation, essential for delicate instruments and high-speed devices. As a key part of our Deep Groove Ball Bearings catalog, it represents a durable and efficient solution for designers and hobbyists alike. Whether you're building a precision robot, a high-performance RC model, or a small electric motor, the 682 provides the reliability you need in a miniature package.
