SF697 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SF697 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision radial load applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its compact design, with a 7 mm bore and 5 mm width, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability assemblies. The bearing operates effectively within a temperature range of -30° to 110 °C and is compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, ensuring suitability for demanding industrial and technical applications.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SF697 | Basic bearing designation indicating specific bearing dimensions (7x17x5 mm). |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields. Requires external sealing in contaminated environments and application-specific lubrication. |
| ABEC1 | Specifies the precision class, denoting standard tolerances for runout and dimensions. |
| MC3 | Indicates the standard radial internal clearance group (0.002mm to 0.013mm). |
SF697 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Stainless Steel Construction: All components, including the one-piece stainless steel cage, are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring long service life and reliability in harsh environments.
- Optimized Radial Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is designed to support significant radial dynamic loads (276 lbf) and radial static loads (117 lbf).
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 32,400 rpm, this bearing is suitable for high-velocity applications, facilitated by its smooth raceways and stable cage design.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class, it provides consistent and reliable performance for a wide range of precision bearing applications.
