SF180AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF180AR0 is a high-performance thin section angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding precision and reliability. As part of the Reali-Slim Stainless Steel Bearings series, it features a single row design with a 30° contact angle, optimized to handle combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Its compact cross-section, with a width of only 0.75 inches, makes it ideal for space-constrained assemblies while providing high rigidity and operational accuracy. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel components with a brass cage, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and is pre-lubricated for immediate use within a broad temperature range.
