SF681xzz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF681xzz is a miniature single row deep groove ball bearing designed for applications requiring compact dimensions and reliable performance. Featuring a shielded design and constructed entirely from stainless steel, this bearing offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary advantages include the ability to handle radial loads efficiently within a compact 1.5mm bore and 4mm outer diameter footprint, making it ideal for high-precision, space-constrained mechanisms. The design ensures smooth operation and long service life in demanding environments.
SF681xzz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix / Prefix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SF681 | Base model number, defining the core dimensions (1.5mm bore, 4mm OD, 2mm width). |
| x | Placeholder for specific flange variations within the series. |
| zz | Indicates the bearing is shielded on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while minimizing friction compared to contact seals. |
SF681xzz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With a width of just 2mm and a weight of 0.17g, this bearing is engineered for miniature applications where space and weight are critical factors.
- Shielded Protection: The non-contact stainless steel shields (zz) help retain lubrication and exclude larger contaminants, enhancing bearing life without significantly increasing rotational torque.
- Stainless Steel Construction: All components, including rings, balls, and cage, are made from stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and suitability for a wide temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class, ensuring consistent and reliable operation for general precision requirements.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: The deep groove raceway and 7 stainless steel balls are designed for efficient radial load carrying capacity, rated at 19 lbf dynamically.
