SC160AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SC160AR0 is a single row angular contact ball bearing from the Reali-Slim Stainless Steel Bearings series designed for applications requiring high precision and compact design. This inch-series bearing features a 16" bore diameter with an extremely thin 0.375" cross-section, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. With its 30° contact angle, it excels at handling combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, while the all-stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.

Structural Features & Performance Advantages
Thin-Section Design: With only 0.375" width and minimal radial space requirement, this bearing enables compact machinery design while maintaining high load capacity.
Angular Contact Performance: The 30° contact angle provides superior axial load capacity (6,730 lbf static) while maintaining excellent radial load handling (2,533 lbf dynamic).
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight dimensional control (bore tolerance: -0.0016" to 0") ensuring high running accuracy and smooth operation.
Material Excellence: Stainless steel rings and balls combined with brass cage deliver corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance, and reliable performance across a wide temperature range (-30°C to 110°C).
High Moment Capacity: The optimized design provides exceptional static load moment rating of 27,950 lbf, ensuring stability under complex loading conditions.
