SFR3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SFR3 is a high-precision, single row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring reliable radial load capacity and smooth operation. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This bearing is characterized by its compact bearing dimensions (0.1875" bore, 0.5" OD) and is supplied as an open type, providing flexibility for custom lubrication schemes. Its ABEC1 precision class and robust construction make it an ideal choice for applications where consistent performance and longevity are critical.
SFR3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Significance |
|---|---|
| SFR3 | Standard series designation for a specific inch-sized, single row deep groove ball bearing. |
| Open | No integral seals or shields. This allows for higher limiting speeds and custom lubrication but requires a clean operating environment or external sealing. |
| Stainless Steel | Material for all core components (rings, balls, cage), providing superior corrosion resistance. |
| MC3 | Specifies the radial internal clearance group (0.00008" to 0.0005"), which is optimized for general operating conditions. |
SFR3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway and complement of seven precision balls enable efficient handling of radial loads (dynamic: 224 lbf, static: 79 lbf) and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The one-piece stainless steel cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to a high limiting speed of 38,700 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance standards with controlled radial internal clearance (MC3), ensuring smooth, low-vibration, and precise running.
- Corrosion Resistance & Durability: The all-stainless-steel construction ensures reliable performance in humid or corrosive environments, extending service life.
