D/W R166 R-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The D/W R166 R-2Z is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring high reliability and compact design. As a single row deep groove ball bearing with shielded construction, it excels at handling radial loads efficiently. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its compact dimensions, high limiting speed of 63,000 rpm, and pre-lubrication make it an ideal choice for high-speed, low-maintenance operations in precision instruments and compact mechanisms.
D/W R166 R-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| R166 | Basic bearing designation, defining the core dimensions and type. |
| R- | Prefix indicating a flanged outer ring, providing ease of mounting and axial location. |
| 2Z | Signifies bearings with shielded on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while allowing for high-speed operation with minimal friction increase. |
D/W R166 R-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, precision-ground components, and optimized grease lubrication enables a very high limiting speed of 63,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding high-rotation applications.
- Corrosion Resistance & Long Service Life: Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments and contributing to a long operational lifespan.
- Simplified Mounting with Flange: The integrated flange on the outer ring simplifies axial positioning and mounting within a housing, reducing assembly time and cost.
- Low Maintenance & Contamination Protection: The non-contact shields (2Z) on both sides effectively retain the factory-applied grease and protect the internal bearing components from dust and other contaminants, resulting in a maintenance-free design for the life of the application.
