Value Collection SFR1-4 Miniature Flanged Ball Bearing

Product Description

The Value Collection SFR1-4 is a miniature flanged ball bearing designed for compact rotating assemblies that require precise, low-friction support in tight spaces. This open-style, single-row bearing features a stainless steel housing and carries an ABEC-5 precision rating, making it suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy and smooth operation matter. It handles a static load capacity of 23 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 70 pounds. The flanged design allows for positive axial location within a housing bore, simplifying installation and preventing axial migration during operation. Technicians and assemblers working on small motors, instruments, or precision mechanical assemblies will find this bearing a direct fit for standard SFR1-4 configurations.

The SFR1-4 is intended for use in light-duty rotating equipment where miniature bearing sizes are required. Typical applications include small electric motors, dental and medical instruments, RC and hobby equipment, precision tools, and similar compact assemblies. The open construction keeps weight and profile minimal. The flange outside diameter of 0.296 inches provides a shoulder for secure seating against housing faces without additional hardware. This bearing is sold individually and is appropriate for both OEM build applications and maintenance replacement work.

Key Features

• Flanged design with 0.296 inch flange outside diameter for positive axial location
• ABEC-5 precision rating for tight dimensional tolerances and smooth rotation
• Stainless steel housing for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Open style construction reduces weight and profile in space-constrained assemblies
• Single-row design with 70 pound dynamic and 23 pound static load capacity
• Round bore accepts standard 0.0781 inch shaft diameters without modification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or build component for any application calling for a standard SFR1-4 miniature flanged ball bearing with a 0.0781 inch bore and 0.25 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with precision bearing work. Press or seat the bearing using a proper bearing press or driver applied only to the bearing race being pressed — never strike or load the rolling elements directly. Ensure the housing bore and shaft are clean and free of burrs before installation. Follow equipment manufacturer specifications for fit tolerances and any retained preload requirements.
