Value Collection SFR168ZZS Miniature Flanged Ball Bearing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SFR168ZZS is a miniature flanged ball bearing built for applications where space is limited but load capacity and precision still matter. With a 0.25 inch bore diameter, 0.375 inch outside diameter, and 0.125 inch overall width, this single-row bearing operates in an extremely compact envelope. The double-shield design keeps contaminants out of the raceway without requiring external seals. Rated to ABEC-5 precision tolerances, it delivers consistent rotational accuracy in light machinery, instruments, and small motor assemblies. Installation is straightforward for any mechanical or maintenance technician familiar with miniature bearing fits.

This bearing is suited for light industrial, instrumentation, and small equipment applications where a flanged design is needed to locate or retain the bearing axially within a housing. The integral flange, measuring 0.422 inches in outside diameter, eliminates the need for a separate retaining shoulder. With a 33 lb static load capacity and 84 lb dynamic load capacity, it handles the modest radial loads typical of small motors, fans, pulleys, and precision instruments. The stainless steel housing material makes it appropriate for environments with mild moisture or chemical exposure concerns.

Key Features

• Miniature form factor: 0.25 inch bore, 0.375 inch OD, 0.125 inch width
• Integral flange with 0.422 inch flange OD for positive axial positioning in housing
• Double-shield construction reduces contamination ingress without additional sealing
• ABEC-5 precision rating for consistent dimensional accuracy and reduced runout
• Stainless steel housing material for corrosion resistance in light-duty wet or humid environments
• 33 lb static load capacity and 84 lb dynamic load capacity for light radial load applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for bearings using bearing number SFR168ZZ in miniature flanged applications requiring a 0.25 inch bore, 0.375 inch OD, and 0.125 inch width with a double-shield, single-row configuration.

Installation Notes

Miniature bearings should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians using proper bearing press tools or arbor presses to avoid applying force through the rolling elements. Never hammer directly on the bearing ring. Ensure the housing bore and shaft are clean, within dimensional tolerance, and free of burrs before pressing. Power down and de-energize all equipment before removing or installing bearings.
