SFR168zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SFR168zz is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for precision applications requiring high reliability. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its compact inch dimensions (0.25" bore, 0.375" OD) and shielded design make it ideal for protecting against contaminant ingress while maintaining smooth operation. This bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads efficiently and is suitable for a wide operating temperature range, making it a robust and versatile component for demanding miniature and instrument-grade applications.
SFR168zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SFR | Manufacturer series designation for miniature flanged bearings. |
| 168 | Specifies the bearing size, corresponding to a 0.25" bore and 0.375" outside diameter. |
| zz | Indicates the bearing is fitted with shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against dust and other particulates, enhancing bearing life in contaminated environments. |
SFR168zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & Corrosion Resistance: The all-stainless steel construction (rings, balls, cage, and shield) ensures high resistance to rust and corrosion, which is critical for applications exposed to moisture or harsh chemicals.
- Effective Contamination Protection: The non-contact shields (zz) help retain lubricant and exclude larger contaminants, contributing to a longer, maintenance-free service life.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 43,200 rpm, this bearing is suitable for high-velocity applications. The stainless steel cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to stable operation at these high speeds.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3), this bearing provides consistent and smooth running for precision equipment.
- Flanged Design: The integral flange simplifies mounting and positioning, providing accurate axial location within a housing.
