SMR95 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SMR95 is a metric miniature deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision applications requiring compact dimensions and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. As a single row radial bearing, it is primarily designed to support radial loads efficiently. Its small footprint, with a 5mm bore and 9mm outside diameter, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-precision assemblies where consistent operation and material integrity are paramount.
SMR95 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Feature | Code/Specification | Technical Meaning & Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Seal Type | Open | No integral seals, allowing for higher limiting speeds and minimal friction torque. Requires external sealing in contaminated environments. |
| Tolerance Class | ABEC1 | Defines standard precision levels for bore, outside diameter, and width, ensuring consistent bearing dimensions and reliable fit. |
| Internal Clearance | MC3 (0.002mm to 0.013mm) | Specifies a greater-than-normal radial internal clearance, beneficial for applications with significant thermal gradients or where interference fits are used. |
| Lubrication | Required | The bearing is supplied without grease, providing flexibility for the user to apply a specialist lubricant optimized for specific operational conditions (e.g., temperature, speed). |
SMR95 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Full Stainless Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and stainless steel cage provide superior corrosion resistance, making the bearing suitable for harsh environments, including those requiring wash-down or exposure to mild chemicals.
- Deep Groove Raceway: This geometry is optimized for handling radial loads and also accommodates moderate axial loads in both directions, offering versatile load-carrying capability for a single row ball bearing.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and precision-ground components contribute to a high limiting speed of 45,000 rpm, essential for small, fast-rotating shafts.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerances, this precision bearing ensures smooth, low-vibration operation, which is critical for the accuracy and longevity of sensitive equipment.
SMR95 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Small Precision Motors: Ideal for spindle support in miniature DC motors and stepper motors used in robotics, drones, and optical drives.
- Medical and Dental Devices: Used in surgical handpieces, dental drills, and pump mechanisms where corrosion resistance, reliability, and compact bearing dimensions are critical.
- Instrumentation and Control Systems: Suitable for encoders, sensors, gauges, and other precision instruments requiring smooth, low-friction rotation.
- Office Automation Equipment: Commonly found in printers, scanners, and copiers for guiding and supporting small rollers and shafts.
