Product Overview and Core Advantages
The SMR148zz is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for applications demanding high reliability and compact design. As a single row, shielded metric bearing, it is engineered to handle primarily radial loads efficiently. Its construction from stainless steel throughout provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments. The bearing is characterized by its small bore diameter of 8 mm and overall compact dimensions, offering a robust solution for high-speed operation up to 34,200 rpm, as defined by its limiting speed.
SMR148zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- SMR: Indicates the manufacturer series for miniature stainless steel bearings.
- 14: Specifies the bore diameter code, corresponding to an 8 mm bore.
- 8: Represents the outside diameter code, corresponding to a 14 mm OD.
- zz: Denotes that the bearing is equipped with shields on both sides (non-contact). This helps protect the internal components from large particulate contaminants while minimizing friction.
Structural Features and Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, 10 precision balls, and shielded design contributes to a high limiting speed of 34,200 rpm, making it an effective high-speed bearing.
- Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, cage, and shields), this bearing is ideal for applications exposed to moisture or corrosive agents.
- Precision and Low Noise: Built to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 / 0.002mm to 0.013mm), it ensures smooth and quiet operation, which is critical in precision instruments.
- Compact and Lightweight: With a width of just 4 mm and a weight of only 2.19 grams, it is perfectly suited for space-constrained applications without sacrificing performance.
