SMR117 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SMR117 is a miniature single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for applications demanding compact design and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. As a radial bearing, it is primarily designed to support radial loads efficiently. Its key advantages include a very low weight of just 0.59 g, making it ideal for weight-sensitive assemblies, and a high limiting speed of 38,700 rpm, suitable for high-speed operation. The open design ensures low running torque and facilitates custom lubrication strategies.

| SMR | Series Prefix | Denotes a specific series of miniature stainless steel bearings. |
| 117 | Bore Size Code | Corresponds to a bore diameter of 7 mm. |
| (No Suffix) | Seal/Shield & Clearance | Indicates an open (unsealed) bearing with standard MC3 radial internal clearance. |
SMR117 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact and Lightweight Design: With dimensions of 7x11x2.5 mm and a weight of only 0.59 g, this bearing is perfect for space-constrained and weight-critical applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: The use of stainless steel for all components (rings, balls, cage) ensures reliable operation in humid or mildly corrosive environments.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, 9 precision balls of 1.2 mm diameter, and an open design allows for a high limiting speed of 38,700 rpm.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with controlled radial internal clearance (MC3: 0.002mm to 0.013mm), ensuring smooth and consistent operation.
- Broad Operating Range: Capable of operating within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C, offering versatility for various application conditions.
