FR2 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The FR2 series represents a high-precision inch-series ball bearing engineered for demanding radial load applications. This single row deep groove ball bearing features an open design and is manufactured to ABEC1 precision class standards, ensuring reliable performance in compact assemblies. Its primary advantages include a high limiting speed of 56,000 rpm and a robust radial dynamic load rating of 121 lbf, making it an ideal solution for applications requiring high rotational accuracy and durability in a minimal footprint.
FR2 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Element | Technical Significance |
|---|---|
| FR2 | Series designation for this specific inch-size, open deep groove ball bearing. |
| Open | No integral seals or shields, allowing for higher speeds and custom lubrication schemes. |
| ABEC1 | Defines the precision tolerance class for bore, outer diameter, and width. |
| MC3 | Specifies the radial internal clearance group (0.00008" to 0.0005"). |
FR2 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Internal Geometry: The deep groove raceway and complement of seven precision chrome steel balls enable efficient handling of radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The lightweight stainless steel cage and open construction minimize friction and turbulence, directly contributing to the high limiting speed.
- Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to ABEC1 standards with tight dimensional tolerances, this bearing provides consistent running accuracy and contributes to overall system stiffness.
- Material Integrity: Constructed from chrome steel rings and balls, the bearing offers excellent wear resistance and long-term dimensional stability across its operating temperature range of -86 to 230 °F.
