SF6701 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF6701 is a miniature flanged ball bearing engineered for compact applications requiring high precision and reliable performance. As a single row radial bearing with an integral flange, it offers simplified mounting and precise axial location. Manufactured with stainless steel rings and a cage, it provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications where durability and long service life are critical. Its compact design (12mm bore, 18mm OD) is optimized for space-constrained assemblies.
SF6701 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SF6701 | Standard model designation for this specific flanged ball bearing series. |
| Open (Seal type) | The bearing is unsealed, allowing for high-speed operation and requiring external lubrication and protection from contaminants. |
| ABEC-1 | Specifies the tolerance class, indicating standard precision levels suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. |
| C0 (Radial internal clearance) | Denotes standard radial internal clearance (0.002mm to 0.013mm), suitable for most operating conditions. |
SF6701 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Integrated Flange Design: The flange (19mm OD) provides secure axial positioning and simplifies housing design, reducing assembly time and cost.
- High-Grade Material Construction: The combination of stainless steel rings and a stainless steel cage ensures superior corrosion resistance and operational integrity in harsh environments.
- Optimized Load Capacity: With a radial dynamic load rating of 188 lbf and a static load rating of 108 lbf, it handles significant radial loads for its compact size.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and precision construction enable a limiting speed of 11,700 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed miniature applications.
- Precision Engineering: The ABEC-1 tolerance class and controlled radial internal clearance ensure smooth, low-vibration operation.
SF6701 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Small Precision Motors: Ideal for spindle support in miniature DC motors and stepper motors.
- Medical Devices: Used in surgical handpieces, dental tools, and diagnostic equipment due to its compact size and corrosion resistance.
- Office Automation Equipment: Critical component in scanners, printers, and copiers.
- Robotics and Automation: Suitable for joints, guides, and small actuators in robotic systems.
- Instrumentation and Control Systems: Provides precise rotation in encoders, sensors, and gauges.
