SB042AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SB042AR0 is a high-performance thin section angular contact ball bearing engineered for precision applications requiring exceptional rigidity and accuracy. Manufactured with stainless steel rings and balls and a brass cage, this bearing is designed to handle combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Its ABEC-1 precision class and consistent 30° contact angle ensure reliable operation in demanding, compact assemblies where space and weight are critical constraints. The open design allows for custom lubrication strategies, making it a versatile choice for high-reliability systems.
SB042AR0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SB | Indicates a Stainless Steel thin section bearing from the Reali-Slim series. |
| 04 | Specifies the cross-section size/profile of the bearing. |
| 2 | Denotes the contact angle (30° in this specification). |
| AR | Signifies Angular Contact construction in a Single Row configuration. |
| 0 | Indicates an Open (unsealed) bearing, allowing for application-specific lubrication. |
SB042AR0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The single row angular contact design with a 30° contact angle provides excellent resistance to combined loads, supporting a radial dynamic load of 891 lbf and a static moment load of 6200 lbf.
- Precision Engineering: Built to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight dimensional control on bore, outside diameter, and width for predictable performance in high-accuracy applications.
- Corrosion Resistance & Durability: The use of stainless steel for all bearing components ensures superior corrosion resistance and reliable operation within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
- Optimized Cage Design: The brass cage provides stable ball guidance, contributing to smooth operation and extended service life.
- Lightweight & Compact: As part of the Reali-Slim series, this bearing offers a large bore relative to its cross-section, enabling significant weight (0.31 lbs) and space savings in complex machinery.
