FR168zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The FR168zz is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for applications demanding compact size and reliable performance. As a single row deep groove ball bearing, it is optimized to handle primarily radial loads efficiently. Its inch-series dimensions and shielded construction make it an ideal component for high-speed, small-scale mechanisms requiring consistent operation and protection from contamination.
FR168zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
The model number FR168zz provides key technical specifications:
- FR168: Denotes the specific bearing series and size in inches.
- zz: Indicates the bearing is equipped with shields on both sides. These non-contact shields help retain lubrication and protect the internal components from large particulate contaminants.
FR168zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
This bearing's design delivers several critical performance advantages:
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, precision-ground chrome steel components, and optimized internal geometry allows for a high limiting speed of 48,000 rpm.
- Radial Load Capacity: Engineered to handle a dynamic radial load of 71 lbf and a static radial load of 31 lbf, providing reliable performance under stress.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3), ensuring smooth and predictable operation.
- Durability & Corrosion Resistance: Components made from chrome steel and a 300 series stainless steel shield offer excellent wear resistance and protection against corrosion.
FR168zz Bearing Typical Application Areas
The FR168zz is widely used in compact, high-speed devices across various industries, including:
- Small Precision Motors and stepper motors
- Medical Devices and dental handpieces
- Robotics and miniature gearboxes
- Office Automation Equipment such as printers and scanners
