D/W R168 R-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The D/W R168 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, it excels at handling primarily radial loads and offers smooth, low-friction operation. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it provides excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantages include a compact inch-sized design, shielded construction for contaminant protection, and pre-lubrication for long service life, making it an ideal choice for high-speed, precision mechanisms.
Model Code In-Depth Analysis
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| D/W | Manufacturer designation (Diamond / WONSTAR) |
| R168 | Bearing series and size code |
| R-2Z | R: Rubber seal (Note: Specification states Shielded, "2Z" typically denotes two metal shields. This may be a model-specific designation). 2Z: Indicates bearing is equipped with shields on both sides to protect against contamination and retain grease. |
D/W R168 R-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Built to P0 tolerance class with tight dimensional control on the bore diameter and outside diameter, ensuring precise fit and stable operation in assemblies.
- Corrosion Resistance: All critical components, including rings, balls, and cage, are made from stainless steel, offering superior performance in harsh or washdown environments.
- Contamination Protection & Long Life: The shielded (2Z) design effectively keeps contaminants out and grease in, while the CN radial internal clearance and pre-applied grease lubrication contribute to a long, maintenance-free service life.
- Compact & Lightweight: With a small bearing size of 0.25" bore and 0.375" outside diameter, and a minimal weight of 0.0007 kg, it is perfect for space-constrained and weight-sensitive applications.
