SMF82x Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 2.5mm bore miniature ball bearing represents a precision-engineered single row radial ball bearing designed for compact applications requiring reliable performance. Featuring an open construction and manufactured entirely from stainless steel, this bearing offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to handle radial loads efficiently within a minimal space envelope, making it ideal for high-precision, small-scale mechanisms where size and weight are critical constraints.
SMF82x Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Feature | Designation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Seal Type | Open | No integral seals, allowing for higher potential speeds and custom lubrication solutions. Requires a clean operating environment. |
| Tolerance Class | ABEC1 | Defines standard precision levels for runout and dimensional accuracy, suitable for many general-purpose applications. |
| Internal Clearance | MC3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance group (0.002mm to 0.013mm) optimized for general operating conditions. |
| Flange | Integrated | Features a flange (Ø9.2mm) for simplified and secure axial location within a housing, easing installation. |
SMF82x Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The bearing rings, balls, and cage are manufactured from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and suitability for harsh or wash-down environments.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With dimensions of 2.5mm (bore) x 8mm (OD) x 2.5mm (width) and a weight of just 0.42 grams, it is engineered for applications where minimizing mass and size is paramount.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 63,900 rpm, enabling use in demanding, high-velocity scenarios.
- Precision Performance: The ABEC1 tolerance class and controlled MC3 internal clearance ensure smooth and consistent operation, reducing vibration and noise.
- Radial Load Capacity: Engineered to support radial dynamic loads up to 36 lbf and static loads up to 14 lbf, providing reliable performance in its size class.
