SR168zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SR168zz is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for precision and reliability in demanding applications. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its shielded design provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while maintaining high-speed capability. This bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads and is characterized by its compact inch dimensions (1/4" bore), making it an ideal choice for applications requiring a small footprint, high limiting speed, and consistent performance within a wide temperature range.

| SR | Standard Bearing Series | Indicates a common, widely available design. |
| 168 | Bore & Outer Diameter Code | Specifies the inch bearing dimensions (0.25" bore, 0.375" OD). |
| zz | Shielded on Both Sides | Offers protection from contaminants, preserving internal lubrication and bearing life. |
SR168zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Single Row Deep Groove Design: The fundamental geometry allows for efficient handling of radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Full Stainless Steel Construction: Rings, balls, and cage are all made from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for a wide temperature range from -86 to 230 °F.
- Shielded Protection: The non-contact shields help retain lubricant and exclude larger particulate contaminants, contributing to longer service life and reduced maintenance.
- ABEC1 Precision: As a standard tolerance class, it ensures consistent quality and reliable performance for a broad range of industrial applications.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: With 11 balls of 0.03941" diameter and an MC3 radial internal clearance, the bearing is configured for smooth, low-noise operation.
