6909 - SKF Thin Section Bearing - 45x68x12

The SKF 6909 is a slimline deep groove ball bearing with a standard radial internal clearance, designed for applications where space and weight are limited, but reliable performance is still essential. With a narrow 12mm width and compact 45mm bore, this SKF 6909 bearing is a popular choice in applications like electric motors, pumps, fans, and small gearboxes. Especially where space is limited, and consistent performance is key. The SKF 6909 has compact dimensions, making it suitable for robotics, automation systems, and lightweight assemblies. Despite its low profile, the 6909 handles both radial and axial loads with ease, offering smooth operation at high speeds. The bearing's dimensions are 45x68x12mm.

Key Features

Space-Saving Design

At just 12mm wide, the 6909 is ideal for tight assemblies or designs where every millimetre counts. Its thin-section profile allows for more compact component layouts without sacrificing load-handling capability.

High-Speed Capability

With a reference speed of 20,000 rpm and a limiting speed of 13,000 rpm, this bearing is built for fast-running applications. The open design also makes it easier to lubricate and monitor under high-speed conditions.

Reliable Load Support

The 6909 offers a dynamic load rating of 14 kN and a static rating of 10.8 kN. Its fatigue load rating of 0.465 kN ensures a steady lifespan under normal operating conditions.

Standard Clearance and Steel Cage

This bearing uses standard radial clearance, suitable for most general-purpose uses. The steel cage provides strength, helping to keep the rolling elements properly spaced and guided throughout rotation.
