Product Overview: The 6820 Thin Section Ball Bearing
The 6820 bearing is a specialized component within our 6800 Series, a family of thin section Deep Groove Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 100x125x13mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is engineered for applications where space is limited and low weight is critical. Its defining feature is an extremely thin cross-section, allowing for compact and lightweight machinery design without compromising on performance. The deep groove raceway geometry enables the 6820 bearing to accommodate both radial and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of precision applications.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure that our 6820 bearings meet stringent quality standards. This guarantees reliable, low-friction operation essential for high-tech and precision equipment.
