686-2RS Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing | Precision Metric Miniature Series | 6×13×5 mm

The 686-2RS is a high-performance miniature ball bearing engineered for versatility and durability in compact mechanical assemblies. Featuring a 6mm bore and 13mm outer diameter, this model is equipped with dual-contact rubber seals (2RS) that provide an airtight defense against contaminants while locking in premium synthetic lubrication. Designed for engineers and manufacturers who require a balance of low torque and high protection, the 686-2RS excels in environments where precision and maintenance-free operation are paramount.



686-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing 6×13×5 mm | ISO 618 Series – Slim Profile | Dual Nitrile Rubber Seals

This metric deep groove bearing is built to manage radial loads and light axial forces with extreme efficiency. The 686-2RS configuration is particularly valued for its "Sealed for Life" design, which eliminates the need for manual regreasing and protects the internal raceways from dust, grit, and moisture. With a limiting speed of 24,000 r/min under grease lubrication, it serves as a critical component for high-speed small-scale motors, handheld electronics, and automated robotics systems.

Key Performance Features

01. Precision-Grade Smoothness

Manufactured using high-quality GCr15 Chrome Steel, the 686-2RS features super-finished raceways that minimize friction and vibration. This ensures an ultra-quiet operation, which is essential for consumer electronics and medical devices where noise reduction is a key selling point.

02. High Power-to-Size Ratio

Despite its miniature 13mm footprint, the 686-2RS offers a robust dynamic load rating of 1.08 kN. Its optimized internal geometry allows it to handle high-speed rotations without excessive heat buildup, making it a reliable choice for intensive duty cycles.

03. Enhanced Environmental Sealing

The dual 2RS nitrile rubber seals are designed to create a secure contact barrier. This setup is superior for applications exposed to the elements, preventing premature bearing failure caused by particle ingress and ensuring the factory-applied grease remains effective throughout the bearing’s lifecycle.
