The GATES 68XX series represents a critical category of deep groove ball bearings engineered for applications where space and weight constraints are paramount. This specific 6805-2RS bearing features an extremely light cross-section while maintaining excellent radial and moderate axial load-carrying capabilities. Manufactured from high-purity, vacuum-degassed chrome steel (AISI 52100), the bearing races are precision-ground to P6 tolerances or better (ABEC 3 equivalent), ensuring low vibration, minimal running noise, and reduced thermal generation at high rotational speeds. The deep raceway grooves facilitate the insertion of a robust complement of high-precision steel balls, optimizing contact geometry for extended fatigue life in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for reliability and minimal maintenance, this 6805-2RS configuration incorporates two synthetic rubber contact seals (2RS) that provide superior protection against ingress of contaminants such as dust, moisture, and debris—the leading cause of premature bearing failure. These seals effectively retain the high-performance, industrial-grade grease for the life of the bearing, negating the need for relubrication in typical operations. Ideal applications include servo motors, instrumentation, robotics, compact gearbox assemblies, and medical equipment where reliability, high speed, and a reduced mounting envelope are non-negotiable performance requirements. GATES industrial bearings deliver sustained operational efficiency and significantly reduce unplanned downtime.
