RW188zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
This bearing's performance stems from its optimized construction. The single row deep groove raceway and 8 high-precision chrome steel balls ensure smooth rotation and efficient radial load handling. The stainless steel cage provides stability at the specified limiting speed of 40,000 rpm. The extended inner ring facilitates easier installation and positioning. With a radial dynamic load rating of 207 lbf and a wide operating temperature range from -86 to 230 °F, it delivers reliable performance in demanding conditions. The standard MC3 radial internal clearance (0.00008" to 0.0005") makes it suitable for most general applications.
