R166zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The R166zz is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for applications demanding high reliability in compact spaces. As a single row radial ball bearing with integral shields, it offers excellent performance for radial loads and moderate axial loads in one direction. Its inch-series dimensions and ABEC1 precision class make it an ideal component for high-speed, low-noise operations where consistent performance is critical. The bearing is pre-lubricated and features stainless steel components for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

R166zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, eight precision balls, and optimized internal geometry enables a limiting speed of 50,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 136 lbf and a static load rating of 49 lbf, this bearing provides reliable support for significant radial loads in a compact form factor.
- Contaminant Protection: The non-contact zz shields on both sides effectively protect the bearing from dust and other contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to long service life and consistent performance.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance standards and featuring a controlled MC3 radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures smooth, low-vibration operation essential for precision instruments.
- Corrosion Resistance: The use of stainless steel for the cage and shields provides enhanced resistance to corrosion, suitable for a wide operating temperature range from -86 to 230 °F.
