6820 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing for Low Heat Generation a+pplications | 100×125×13 mm

With a 100 mm bore and a slim 13 mm cross-section, this open configuration eliminates the friction and speed limitations of shields or seals, allowing for higher operating speeds and direct access for oil lubrication. The 6820 Open is a thin-section deep groove ball bearing designed for applications requiring maximum rotational speed, custom lubrication strategies, or integration into assemblies with external sealing provisions. It is the preferred choice for precision spindles, high-speed machinery, and systems where the housing itself provides contamination protection.

6820 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing 100x125x13 mm | Metric Thin Section | Open Type

The open design allows engineers to select the optimal lubricant, oil or grease based on operating conditions, and facilitates easy inspection and relubrication. Manufactured to ISO dimensional standards, this bearing features classic deep groove geometry optimized for high radial loads and moderate bidirectional axial loads. This configuration is ideal for applications where speed, low heat generation, and maintenance accessibility are critical.

Key Performance Features

01. Maximum Speed Capability

Without the frictional drag of shields or contact seals, the 6820 Open achieves significantly higher limiting speeds compared to shielded or sealed variants. This makes it suitable for applications where rotational speed is a primary performance parameter. The open configuration allows efficient heat dissipation and accommodates both grease and oil lubrication methods, including oil-air or oil-mist systems for ultra-high-speed operation.

02. Flexible Lubrication & Maintenance

The open design provides direct access to the internal raceways and rolling elements, enabling custom lubrication schedules tailored to specific operating conditions. Engineers can select high-performance greases for general use or switch to circulating oil for high-speed, high-temperature environments. Easy visual inspection and relubrication reduce total cost of ownership in critical machinery.

03. Precision Construction for Smooth Operation

Manufactured from high-carbon chromium steel (GCr15/SAE 52100) with precision-ground raceways and high-quality steel balls, the 6820 Open delivers low vibration and quiet operation. Its thin-section geometry provides stable support in compact assemblies, while the pressed steel cage ensures accurate ball guidance even under variable loads. This combination of precision and speed makes it a reliable component for demanding applications.

Design & Configuration

The 6820 Open bearing is supplied without shields or seals, offering maximum speed potential and lubrication flexibility. It is typically mounted in housings that provide external sealing or in systems where contamination control is managed by the surrounding assembly. For applications requiring very high speeds, polyamide cages and higher precision grades (P5 or P6) are available. Stainless steel variants are offered for corrosive environments, and C3 internal clearance is recommended for applications with elevated operating temperatures or interference fits.

"Engineered for speed and precision, the 6820 Open bearing delivers maximum rotational capability and lubrication flexibility in a compact thin-section design."
