686 13 mm 6 mm 3.5 mm Frequently Asked Questions about 686 Metric Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Find key technical answers regarding dimensions, specifications, and replacement options for this model.
To ensure optimum performance of CHG Bearing 686 Metric Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearings under general rotational loads, our application engineers advise an inner-ring shaft tolerance of m5 or k5 for the 6 mm bore. For the 13 mm outer ring, an H7 or J7 housing bore fit is recommended to eliminate creep while accommodating normal thermal gradient expansion.
Quality starts with raw material selection: CHG Bearing crafts 686 inner and outer rings from high-purity High-Quality Chrome Steel (GCr15/100Cr6). Our raw billets undergo vacuum degassing and secondary ESR (electroslag remelting) processes to drastically eliminate non-metallic sulfide and oxide inclusions, elevating subsurface contact fatigue resistance.
Beyond standard alloy steel, CHG Bearing can customize the 686 Metric Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearings using AISI 440C stainless steel, black oxide coating, zinc-nickel plating, or hybrid ceramic (Si3N4) balls for applications involving chemical exposure, marine salt fog, or galvanic current hazards.
In its sealed configuration (Open Type), CHG Bearing pre-charges 686 with premium wide-temperature lithium-complex or polyurea grease, calibrated to a 30%–35% cavity volume ratio. For open-type variants, synthetic PAO or refined mineral lubricating oils with appropriate EP (Extreme Pressure) additives should be circulated.
