BECO 6901 Stainless Thin Section Ball Bearing, Shielded, 12 x 24 x 6 mm
Available
The BECO stainless steel thin section shielded deep groove ball bearing is a light series for tight radial space. It is made from hardened stainless steel for the rotating parts, with an AISI 304 cage and stainless steel ZZ shields on both sides, and standard radial internal clearance. BECO lists this series as 61900, so for example the 6901 is BECO catalogue size 61901. This range has 2 sizes with bores from 12 to 45 mm.
It is lubricated for life with a grease BECO lists as suitable for the food industry under NSF H1, and is rated for -20°C to +100°C. BECO describes the tempered stainless construction as suited to mildly aggressive applications and does not recommend it where acids, salts or sea water are present. Contact AIMS Industrial if that is your application and we will help you choose.

Fitting and use
The bearing is lubricated for life and needs no additional lubrication.
Press the ring that has the interference fit onto its seat, and never push through the balls or the other ring.
