R6-2RS Ball Bearing

The R6-2RS Ball Bearing is an imperial-size deep groove ball bearing engineered for compact applications requiring continuous operation, lubrication protection, and efficient performance in high-speed equipment.

Part of the inch-series bearing family, the R6-2RS is widely used in American machinery, power tools, automated systems, and compact equipment designed with imperial dimensions. Its double rubber seals (2RS) help preserve internal grease while reducing exposure to light contaminants, contributing to improved operational stability.

Manufactured from chrome steel and supplied factory pre-lubricated, the R6-2RS delivers smooth operation, reduced vibration, and dependable efficiency in light continuous-duty industrial applications.

Common Applications for the R6-2RS

The R6-2RS is frequently used in compact systems requiring consistent rotation and dependable mechanical efficiency, including:

• Power tools
• Compact motors
• Automated equipment
• Light conveyor systems
• Machinery using imperial dimensions
• Agricultural equipment
• Industrial fans
• Hobby and RC applications

The R Series is recognized for combining compact dimensions, dependable radial load capacity, and strong adaptability in light industrial applications.
