SF696zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF696zz is a metric miniature ball bearing designed for high-precision, compact applications. As a single row deep groove ball bearing, it is engineered to primarily handle radial loads efficiently. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its shielded design helps retain lubrication and exclude contaminants, contributing to reliable performance and a long service life in demanding environments. This bearing is characterized by its compact dimensions (6mm bore, 15mm OD, 5mm width) and is suitable for applications requiring ABEC1 precision.
SF696zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| zz | Indicates the bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. This design offers effective protection against contamination while minimizing friction, making it suitable for higher rotational speeds. |
SF696zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Stainless Steel Construction: All components, including rings, balls, cage, and shields, are made from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability, ideal for harsh or wash-down environments.
- Optimized Deep Groove Raceway: The geometry of the raceways is designed for smooth operation and efficient handling of radial dynamic loads (rated at 231 lbf).
- Shielded for Protection: The zz shields help to retain the required grease lubrication and protect the internal components from dust and other particulates, enhancing operational reliability.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 group), ensuring consistent and precise running.
- Compact and Lightweight: With a minimal cross-section and a weight of only 4.04g, it is perfect for space-constrained and weight-sensitive designs.
