6703 Open Type Thin Section Ball Bearing | Unshielded Metric Bearing | 17×23×4 mm

6703 Open Type Thin Section Ball Bearing | Unshielded Metric Bearing | 17×23×4 mm

The 6703 is a premium open-type thin-section ball bearing designed for high-precision assemblies where external lubrication systems are utilized. By eliminating seals and shields, this model offers the absolute minimum starting torque and rotational resistance, allowing for seamless operation in high-speed oil-bath or oil-mist environments. Its 17mm bore and 23mm outer diameter provide a large inner diameter relative to its slim 4mm width, making it a favorite for hollow-shaft sensors and high-frequency instrumentation.

6703 Deep Groove Ball Bearing 17x23x4 mm | Extra Light Series | Unshielded for Oil Lubrication

Engineered for maximum mechanical efficiency, the 6703 utilizes refined GCr15 chrome steel raceways to deliver exceptional radial support within a compact footprint. The open configuration allows for direct visual inspection and immediate access for relubrication, which is critical for high-duty cycle industrial machinery. Without the drag of contact seals, the 6703 reaches significantly higher limiting speeds than its sealed counterparts, making it the ideal choice for precision optical scanners and high-speed robotic joints.

  • Advanced mechatronic drive systems
Specialized Optical & Scanning Devices
  • Motorized high-speed camera mounts
  • Mirror-rotating laser scanning units
  • High-frequency digital imaging platforms

Key Performance Features

01. Absolute Minimum Rotational Friction

As an open-type bearing, the 6703 has zero contact friction from shields or seals. This results in the lowest possible energy loss during operation, which is vital for sensitive measuring instruments and battery-operated robotic systems that require extreme precision.

02. Optimized Thermal Management

The open design facilitates superior heat dissipation. In oil-circulated systems, the lubricant flows directly through the raceways, carrying away heat more effectively than in closed bearings. This ensures stable performance even during prolonged high-speed operation.

03. Large Bore / Thin Section Efficiency

The 17mm bore allows for large shafts or wiring to pass through the center of the bearing, while the 23mm OD keeps the overall housing profile remarkably small. This "Extra Light" geometry is essential for designers aiming to downsize mechanical footprints without sacrificing shaft rigidity.
