The SS6004 2RS Asahi is a stainless steel deep groove ball bearing. Stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant. This makes stainless steel bearings suitable for environments where the presence of moisture or chemicals is a factor. These environments include the food industry, and pharmaceutical- and chemical applications. Moreover, stainless steel can withstand relatively high temperatures. However, stainless steel bearings do have slightly lower load carrying capacities compared to chrome-steel bearings.
Other than that, the characteristics of the SS6004 2RS Asahi are similar to those of standard chrome-steel deep groove ball bearings. Like all single-row deep groove ball bearings, they are of simple and sturdy design. They are practically maintenance-free. Deep groove ball bearings are especially suitable for accommodating radial loads. To a lesser extent, they can also be axially loaded in both directions. Their ability to operate under both light axial and moderate radial loads ensures versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of uses, from industrial machinery to precision instruments.
In addition to their corrosion resistance, stainless steel deep groove ball bearings are also known for their durability in challenging environments. They are frequently used in applications where hygiene and cleanliness are crucial, such as medical equipment and food processing machinery. These bearings also perform well in high-humidity or wet conditions, offering reliable, long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
