With a 0.25-inch bore diameter, 0.375-inch outside diameter, and 0.125-inch overall width, this single-row bearing fits applications where standard-size bearings cannot. The stainless steel housing resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments. It carries a static load capacity of 33 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 84 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty precision equipment. The ABEC-5 tolerance rating ensures dimensional accuracy for applications that demand consistent, repeatable performance. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians typically source this bearing for small motor shafts, pumps, and instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SFR168 is used in residential and light commercial equipment where miniature bearings are specified, including small fractional-horsepower motors, blower assemblies, metering pumps, and precision instruments. The flanged design locates the bearing axially in a housing bore without a separate retaining feature, simplifying installation in thin panel or bracket applications. The open configuration allows direct lubrication access during service. This bearing is a common replacement component for HVAC blower motors, pool equipment pumps, and similar trade-service machinery that uses sub-half-inch bore bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlanged outer ring with 0.422-inch flange outside diameter for positive axial location in housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eABEC-5 precision tolerance rating for consistent dimensional control in close-tolerance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel housing material for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen style allows direct lubrication access and suits dry or pre-lubricated applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-row design with round bore accommodates radial and light axial loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact envelope: 0.25-inch bore, 0.375-inch OD, 0.125-inch width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for miniature flanged ball bearings using the SFR168 bearing number designation in light-duty rotating equipment with a 0.25-inch shaft diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBearing installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with precision bearing practices. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the existing bearing. Press or seat the bearing by applying force to the ring being fitted to the interference surface — never drive force through the rolling elements. For open bearings, apply the appropriate lubricant for the operating environment before or immediately after installation per the equipment manufacturer's service manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SFR168\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Miniature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlanged\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: With Flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.422 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Rows\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatic Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 84 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABEC Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ABEC-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnap Ring Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SFR168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689393652018,"sku":"SFR168","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a13ad43abdd8845896f51a6efe70561c.jpg?v=1788258804","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-sfr168-miniature-flanged-ball-bearing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
