The 6318/C3VL0241 is an electrically insulated deep groove ball bearing (INSOCOAT ball bearing). A special coating on the outer ring (VL0241) protects against bearing damage and eventual failure due to the passage of electric current.

The 6318/C3VL0241 has an inner dimension or bore (d) of 90mm, an outer dimension (D) of 190mm, and a width or thickness (B) of 43mm. The 6318/C3VL0241 is open on both sides (it has no seals), has a brass cage, and an internal play greater than Normal.

Open deep groove ball bearings are suitable for high-speed or even extremely high-speed operation, and are very durable and do not require frequent maintenance. This type of bearing has a low friction coefficient, high limit speed, and various size ranges and forms. It is used in precision instruments, low-noise motors, automobiles, motorcycles, and general machinery industries. It is the most widely used type of bearing in the machinery industry. Mainly bear radial load, but also can bear a certain amount of axial load.
