RW3zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The RW3zz is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable radial load capacity and consistent operation. This inch-series bearing features a shielded design for contaminant protection and is constructed from high-grade chrome steel for durability. Its compact dimensions and extended inner ring facilitate easy installation and secure positioning, making it an ideal choice for applications demanding precision and long service life in challenging environments.
RW3zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| RW3 | The base bearing designation, indicating the specific inch size series. |
| zz | Signifies that the bearing is equipped with shields on both sides (2Z). This provides effective protection against solid contaminants while allowing for higher rotational speeds compared to contact seals. |
RW3zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway and seven precision chrome steel balls provide excellent radial load handling, with a dynamic rating of 249 lbf and a static rating of 88 lbf.
- Shielded Protection: The stainless steel shields (zz) retain lubricant and exclude larger contaminants, enhancing bearing life and reliability without the significant speed penalty of contact seals.
- High-Speed Capability: The lightweight stainless steel cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to a high limiting speed of 43,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding high-speed applications.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3), ensuring smooth and precise operation with minimal vibration and noise.
- Extended Inner Ring: The extended inner ring design simplifies axial location and provides a larger contact surface for secure mounting.
