MF128zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The MF128zz is a miniature metric ball bearing engineered for compact, high-precision applications. As a single row deep groove ball bearing, it is primarily designed to handle radial loads efficiently. Its defining features include a shielded design for contaminant protection and a compact cross-section, making it an ideal solution for applications demanding space savings, reliable performance, and high rotational accuracy within its ABEC1 tolerance class.
MF128zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| MF128 | Bearing series and size designation. | Identifies the specific bearing dimensions: 8mm bore, 12mm OD, 3.5mm width. |
| zz | Bearing is shielded on both sides. | The stainless steel shields protect the internal components from dust and other contaminants, enhancing bearing life and reliability. Note: Lubrication is required as this is not a contact seal. |
MF128zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from chrome steel for rings and balls, and a stainless steel cage, this bearing offers excellent durability and resistance to wear.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and complement of 12 precision balls provide a reliable radial dynamic load rating of 104 lbf, suitable for sustained operation under load.
- High-Speed Capability: The lightweight stainless steel cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to a limiting speed of 40,000 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing for its size.
- Precision & Stability: Built to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 group), ensuring smooth and consistent running, which is critical for precision mechanisms.
- Contaminant Protection: The non-contact ZZ shields help retain lubricant and exclude larger particulate contaminants, extending service intervals and improving operational reliability.
