D/W R3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The R3 bearing is a precision single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in compact applications. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for a wide operating temperature range. This bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads with high reliability. Its open design and P0 tolerance class make it an ideal, cost-effective solution for applications requiring smooth operation and long service life without the need for sealing.
D/W R3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Designation | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| R3 | Standard inch-series bearing designation, indicating specific bearing dimensions (Bore: 0.18748", OD: 0.5", Width: 0.15618"). |
| Open | No seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and easy re-lubrication if required. |
| P0 | Standard tolerance class (Normal), suitable for most general applications. |
| CN | Normal group radial internal clearance. |
D/W R3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are made from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and enabling use in harsh environments and clean applications.
- High-Speed Capability: The open bearing design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 70,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class with controlled radial internal clearance (CN) for consistent, smooth, and low-vibration operation.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a radial dynamic load rating of 167 lbf and a radial static load rating of 56 lbf, it provides reliable performance under significant radial loads.
