Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 609

The SKF 609 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 9x24x7 mm, an open design and P5 precision, provides precise support for confined installation spaces.

The 609 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing from SKF designed for space-saving applications. With a 9 mm bore, 24 mm outer diameter and 7 mm width, this open bearing accommodates radial and moderate axial loads. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the Explorer version is designed for high load-carrying capacity. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the SKF 609 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers primarily use the 609 deep groove ball bearing in compact shaft mountings with limited radial installation space. Thanks to its dimensions of 9x24x7 mm, the component fits into narrow housings without a flange or groove. As this is an open rolling bearing without integrated seals, installation requires a clean, protected environment. The absence of abrasive sealing lips keeps the friction torque to a minimum.

What are the benefits of P6 dimensional accuracy and P5 running accuracy?

SKF manufactures this bearing with P6 dimensional accuracy and a finer P5 running accuracy. The tighter tolerances of the raceways reduce radial deviations during operation and promote low-vibration running. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance, the bearing is suitable for use within a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. The open design also allows for flexible lubricant selection, using either oils or greases.
