SFR188zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SFR188zz is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for precision applications requiring reliable performance. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel components, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability. This bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads and features integral shields (ZZ) to protect against contamination. Its compact inch-series design, combined with ABEC1 precision tolerances, makes it an ideal choice for applications demanding high reliability and consistent operation in challenging environments.
SFR188zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SFR | Manufacturer series designation for a specific line of miniature and instrument ball bearings. |
| 188 | Bore size code corresponding to a 0.25" bore diameter. |
| zz | Indicates the bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against dust and debris while minimizing friction and allowing for higher speeds compared to contact seals. |
SFR188zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Stainless Steel Construction: All components, including rings, balls, cage, and shields, are made from 300 series stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and enabling operation in a wide temperature range from -86 to 230 °F.
- Optimized Deep Groove Raceway: The deep groove geometry of the inner and outer rings is designed for efficient radial load handling, ensuring smooth rotation and long service life.
- Shielded Contamination Protection: The ZZ shields are a key feature, protecting the internal bearing components from particulate contamination without significantly increasing rotational torque, contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 36,000 rpm.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled MC3 radial internal clearance, this bearing delivers consistent and predictable performance, reducing vibration and noise in precision assemblies.
