SF693zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF693zz is a miniature single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision applications requiring compact design and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This shielded bearing is pre-lubricated for immediate use and is designed to primarily handle radial loads. Its small footprint, with a 3mm bore and 8mm outside diameter, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-speed mechanisms demanding consistent operation and long service life.
SF693zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SF693 | The base bearing number, indicating a specific miniature bearing series with a 3mm bore. |
| zz | Signifies that the bearing is equipped with shields on both sides (2Z). These non-contact shields protect the internal components from large particulate contamination while minimizing friction, contributing to the high limiting speed. |
SF693zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With a width of just 4mm and a weight of only 0.94g, this bearing is perfect for miniaturized applications without sacrificing performance.
- Corrosion Resistance: All components, including rings, balls, cage, and shields, are made from stainless steel, ensuring reliable operation in humid or mildly corrosive environments.
- Contaminant Protection: The double-shielded (zz) design effectively retains lubrication and excludes larger contaminants, enhancing bearing life and reliability.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, six precision balls, and optimized internal geometry allows for a high limiting speed of 54,000 rpm.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 group), ensuring smooth and quiet running.
