Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 609 -2Z

The SKF 609-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 9x24x7 mm, features a compact design and sheet metal end shields on both sides for protected shaft mounting.

The 609-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from classic standard 100Cr6 bearing steel in SKF’s Explorer series. This version has a bore of 9 mm, an outer diameter of 24 mm and a width of 7 mm. Thanks to the integrated sheet steel cage and the standard radial clearance, this deep groove ball bearing is suitable for applications with predominantly radial loads and low axial forces.

What is the 609-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in practical use?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians prefer to use this compact design for space-critical shaft mountings and small rotary drives. The bearing is protected from coarse dirt particles on both sides by non-contacting cover plates, without generating any additional friction torque. This design covers a temperature range from –20 to +120 degrees, enabling the rolling bearing to be used in many standard applications in continuous industrial operation.

What advantages do tolerance classes P6 and P5 offer with this bearing?

This model combines dimensional accuracy in accordance with tolerance class P6 with even finer running accuracy in accordance with class P5. The tighter manufacturing tolerances reduce runout deviations and ensure low-vibration operation of the shaft. During assembly, a precisely machined bearing seat is recommended to ensure that the bearing’s guiding accuracy is fully utilised. The smooth cylindrical outer ring, without a flange or groove, also facilitates flush mounting in cylindrical housing bores.
