| R | Flange designator. This bearing features an integral outer ring flange for simplified mounting and axial location. |
D/W R166 R 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 operation in a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C. This ensures durability and reliability in challenging conditions.
- Flanged Outer Ring: The integrated flange (OD: 0.42201") allows for easy and secure mounting into a housing, simplifying assembly and providing accurate axial positioning without the need for complex housing shoulders.
- High-Precision Design: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (P0) tolerance class with a CN radial internal clearance, this bearing delivers consistent, low-vibration performance essential for precision applications.
- Open Design & High-Speed Capability: The open seal type minimizes friction, contributing to a high limiting speed of 80,000 rpm. This makes it suitable for high-speed spindles and rotors.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 91 lbf and a static load rating of 31 lbf, it provides reliable performance under significant radial loads for its size.
