SR166 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SR166 is a high-precision, single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This bearing is engineered to primarily support radial loads and is characterized by its compact bearing dimensions (0.1875" bore x 0.375" OD x 0.125" width), making it an ideal solution for space-constrained assemblies requiring dependable rotation and ABEC1 precision.
SR166 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| SR | Stainless Steel, Single Row deep groove design. |
| 166 | Standard industry size designation for a bearing with a 0.1875" bore diameter. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and custom lubrication schemes. Requires a clean operating environment or external sealing. |
SR166 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from stainless steel for both rings, balls, and cage, the SR166 is suitable for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or requiring wash-downs.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class, ensuring consistent running accuracy and reduced vibration for smooth operation.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: Features 8 precision balls for balanced load distribution and stable operation up to its limiting speed of 45,000 rpm.
- Controlled Internal Clearance: The standard MC3 radial internal clearance (0.00008" to 0.0005") is suitable for a wide range of operational conditions and fits.
- Material Consistency: The use of stainless steel for all key components ensures uniform thermal expansion and compatibility across a broad temperature range (-86 to 230 °F).
