SER1038 2RS Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SER1038 2RS is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. A key feature is its integral 2RS double-contact rubber seals, which effectively retain lubricant and exclude contaminants, making it a low-maintenance solution. This bearing is engineered to handle primarily radial loads and is built to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, ensuring consistent operation and long service life in a wide temperature range from -86 to 230 °F.
SER1038 2RS Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Meaning | Technical Implication |
|---|---|---|
| SER1038 | Basic Bearing Designation | Specifies the inch-dimension series with a bore of 0.375", an outside diameter of 0.625", and a width of 0.1562". |
| 2RS | Seal Type | Indicates the bearing is fitted with Rubber Seals on both sides. The "2" denotes two seals, and "RS" specifies rubber contact seals for superior protection. |
SER1038 2RS Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Sealed Construction: The double-contact rubber seals (2RS) provide an effective barrier against contaminants like dust and moisture, while securely retaining the lubricant. This design significantly extends the bearing's operational life and enables maintenance-free operation in many environments.
- Stainless Steel Build: The use of stainless steel for all critical components ensures superior corrosion resistance, making this bearing ideal for applications exposed to humid or chemically aggressive atmospheres. It also complies with ROHS and REACH standards.
- Precision and Load Capacity: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class, the SER1038 2RS offers reliable running accuracy. With a dynamic load rating of 193 lbf and a static load rating of 98 lbf, it is well-suited for applications with moderate radial loads.
- Standard Internal Clearance: The bearing features a C0 radial internal clearance group, which is the standard for most general-purpose applications, ensuring proper fit and performance under normal operating conditions.
SER1038 2RS Bearing Typical Application Areas
The SER1038 2RS is versatile and finds use in various industries and equipment, including:
- Food and Beverage Processing Equipment (due to stainless steel construction and sealing)
- Medical and Laboratory Devices
- Small Electric Motors and Gearboxes
- Conveyor Systems (for idler rollers and guides)
- Agricultural Machinery (for components requiring corrosion resistance)
- Precision Instruments and Office Automation Equipment
