Value Collection SFRW168-ZZ Miniature Ball Bearing Flanged

Product Description

The Value Collection SFRW168-ZZ is a miniature flanged ball bearing designed for precision motion applications requiring a compact, low-profile rolling element. Built with a stainless steel housing and a double-shield configuration, this single-row bearing provides reliable radial load support in tight spaces. It carries a dynamic load capacity of 84 pounds and a static load capacity of 33 pounds, making it well suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where dimensional accuracy is critical. The ABEC-5 tolerance rating reflects tighter-than-standard dimensional control, an important factor in applications where runout and noise must be minimized. Typical installers include mechanical technicians, equipment builders, and maintenance professionals working on precision machinery.

This bearing fits applications where a flanged mount is needed to locate and retain the bearing axially within a housing without a separate retaining ring. With a 0.25-inch bore, 0.375-inch OD, and an overall width of 0.125 inches, it is suitable for small motors, fans, pumps, instrumentation, and light industrial equipment where space is constrained. The flanged OD of 0.422 inches seats against a mating housing shoulder for positive axial positioning. The double-shield design keeps grease in and contaminants out, reducing maintenance intervals in accessible but moderately dirty environments.

Key Features

• ABEC-5 tolerance rating for tight dimensional control and reduced runout
• Double-shield design retains lubrication and resists contaminant ingress
• Flanged OD at 0.422 inches for positive axial location in housing bores
• Stainless steel housing material for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Single-row radial design with 84-pound dynamic and 33-pound static load capacity
• No snap ring required — flange provides integral axial retention

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or drop-in miniature flanged ball bearing for equipment specifying bearing number SFRW168ZZ with a 0.25-inch round bore, 0.375-inch OD, and 0.125-inch width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with precision bearing handling. Press or seat the bearing using a proper bearing press or installation tool applied only to the ring being pressed — never strike the bearing directly with a hammer or apply force through the rolling elements. Ensure the housing bore and shaft surfaces are clean and within tolerance before installation. Power down and de-energize any connected equipment completely before replacing bearings in electromechanical assemblies.
