SMR137 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SMR137 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision radial load applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Its compact design, with a 7mm bore and 13mm outside diameter, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability applications requiring smooth operation and consistent performance. The bearing is designed to accommodate primarily radial loads and operates effectively within a wide temperature range.
SMR137 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SMR | Manufacturer's series prefix for miniature/metric bearings. |
| 137 | Specific size designation indicating a 7mm bore, 13mm OD, and 3mm width. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields, allowing for high-speed operation and custom lubrication schemes. |
| ABEC1 | Standard precision tolerance class, ensuring reliable performance for general applications. |
| MC3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance group (0.002mm to 0.013mm) suitable for a wide range of operating conditions. |
SMR137 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: Provides superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments, washdown applications, and medical equipment. The one-piece stainless steel cage ensures mechanical stability and smooth operation.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and complement of 12 precision balls enable efficient handling of radial dynamic loads up to 93 lbf and radial static loads up to 45 lbf.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and low-friction stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 36,000 rpm, ideal for demanding high-speed applications.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerances with controlled internal clearance (MC3), ensuring consistent running accuracy and low vibration.
