SF681 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF681 is a miniature metric ball bearing engineered for applications demanding compact dimensions and reliable performance. As a single row deep groove ball bearing with an open design, it excels in handling radial loads efficiently. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various industrial and precision instruments. Its small bearing size (1mm bore, 3mm OD) and lightweight construction (0.04g) are ideal for space-constrained assemblies.
SF681 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Element | Technical Significance |
|---|---|
| SF681 | Basic bearing designation indicating specific dimensions (1x3x1mm). |
| Open | No seals or shields, allowing for higher possible speeds and easy re-lubrication. |
| ABEC1 | Specifies the precision class, defining standard tolerances for runout and dimensions. |
| MC3 | Indicates the radial internal clearance group (0.002mm to 0.013mm), suitable for most general applications. |
SF681 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
