Value Collection SFR144 Miniature Ball Bearing Flanged

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SFR144 is an open, flanged miniature ball bearing designed for precision rotating applications where compact size and load reliability are critical. Built with a stainless steel housing, this single-row bearing carries a 64-pound dynamic load capacity and a 20-pound static load capacity. Its flanged design simplifies axial retention within a housing bore, and the ABEC-5 precision rating ensures tight dimensional tolerances. Typical installers include mechanical technicians and equipment assemblers working on small motors, instruments, or precision machinery where consistent rotational performance in a small envelope is required.

The SFR144 fits applications calling for a 0.125-inch bore, 0.25-inch outside diameter, and a 0.0937-inch overall width. Its open style allows for direct lubrication in the field and suits dry or lightly lubricated environments. Common use cases include small electric motors, medical devices, dental equipment, textile machinery, and other precision assemblies that demand a miniature bearing with a flange for positive axial location. The stainless steel housing makes it suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is a consideration.

Key Features

• Flanged design provides positive axial retention without additional hardware
• ABEC-5 precision rating delivers tight tolerances for smooth, accurate rotation
• Stainless steel housing offers corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Open style allows direct field lubrication and suits lightly lubricated applications
• 64-pound dynamic and 20-pound static load capacities for reliable performance in miniature assemblies
• Single-row construction in a compact 0.0937-inch width minimizes axial space requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit miniature ball bearing for assemblies requiring bearing number SFR144 specifications: 0.125-inch bore, 0.25-inch OD, and a flanged, open single-row configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical technicians familiar with precision bearing fits and tolerances. Power down and de-energize all equipment before removing or installing bearings. Press or seat the bearing by applying force to the correct race only — never drive force through the rolling elements. Ensure the housing bore and shaft are clean and within specified tolerances before installation to avoid preloading or misalignment damage.
