The 6905 is a slim, single-row ball bearing with a 25mm bore and 42mm outer diameter, designed for radial loads. Its compact 9mm width makes it ideal for tight spaces, while chrome steel construction ensures durability.
It handles radial loads up to 1577 lbf and spins smoothly at speeds up to 19,000 RPM. The open design allows for easy lubrication, and the stainless steel cage keeps everything in place during operation.
With a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C, this bearing suits various environments. Its ABEC-1 tolerance and C0 radial clearance provide reliable performance without being overly precise.
Weighing just 47g, it’s lightweight yet sturdy. Compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, it’s a practical choice for machinery where space and radial load capacity matter.
Performance Features of 6905 Bearing
6905 Bearing is designed with a compact size of 25 mm×42 mm×9 mm, making it suitable for applications where space is limited.
Its chrome steel rings and balls provide reliable radial load support, with a dynamic radial load capacity of 1577 lbf.
The stainless steel cage ensures smooth operation and reduces wear, even at high speeds up to 19,000 rpm.
With a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C, 6905 Bearing performs well in various environmental conditions.
Common Applications of 6905 Bearing
6905 Bearing is widely used in industrial equipment like small conveyor rollers and packaging machines, where its slim profile saves space without compromising load capacity. The open design simplifies lubrication, ideal for dusty workshops.
In automotive applications, 6905 Bearing fits compact components such as alternators or cooling fans, handling radial loads efficiently. Its ABEC-1 tolerance ensures smooth rotation even at moderate speeds.
For consumer electronics, 6905 Bearing’s lightweight construction works well in printers or small appliances. The chrome steel rings provide lasting performance in daily use scenarios.
Automation systems benefit from 6905 Bearing’s reliability in robotic joint mechanisms, where precise movement matters. The C0 clearance offers a good balance between rigidity and smooth operation.
