FR1-4 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The FR1-4 is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for applications demanding high reliability in compact spaces. As a single row radial ball bearing with an open design, it excels in handling radial loads efficiently. Its inch dimensions and ABEC1 tolerance class make it a robust and cost-effective solution for high-speed operation, with a limiting speed of 67,000 rpm. The bearing requires lubrication and operates across a wide temperature range from -86 to 230 °F.
FR1-4 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| FR1-4 | The base model number, indicating the specific bearing size and series. |
| Open (Construction) | No seals or shields, allowing for higher speeds and easy re-lubrication, but requiring a clean operating environment. |
| ABEC1 | The tolerance class, defining standard precision levels for runout and dimensional accuracy. |
| MC3 | Specifies the radial internal clearance group (0.00008" to 0.0005"), suitable for general applications. |
FR1-4 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The open construction and stainless steel cage minimize friction and drag, enabling a high limiting speed of 67,000 rpm, making it an excellent high-speed bearing.
- Robust Load Capacity: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers a radial dynamic load rating of 54 lbf and a static rating of 17 lbf, ensuring durability under load.
- Precision Engineering: The ABEC1 tolerance class guarantees consistent dimensional accuracy and smooth operation, which is critical for precision applications.
- Compact and Lightweight: With an ultra-compact design (0.07813" bore, 0.25" OD) and a weight of only 0.46 grams, it is ideal for space-constrained assemblies.
