Value Collection SRW156 Miniature Ball Bearing Open Style

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SRW156 is a single-row miniature ball bearing designed for applications requiring precise, low-friction rotational support in a compact envelope. With a 0.1875 inch bore diameter and a 0.3125 inch outside diameter, this open-style bearing fits tight-clearance assemblies where space is at a premium. Rated to an ABEC-5 precision class, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy suitable for instrumentation, light machinery, and small motor applications. The stainless steel housing material provides corrosion resistance in environments where moisture or mild chemicals may be present. Installation and sourcing require no minimum order beyond a single unit.

This bearing is well suited for use in compact rotating assemblies found in HVAC equipment, small electric motors, fans, pump shafts, and precision instruments. Its open style makes it appropriate for applications where external lubrication access is needed or where low drag is preferred. The 0.1094 inch overall width and flanged-free design allow it to seat directly into standard housing bores without additional hardware. Technicians working on light-duty rotating equipment will find this bearing a straightforward drop-in option for miniature shaft support scenarios.

Key Features

• Stainless steel housing material resists corrosion in humid or mildly corrosive environments
• Single-row design with 81 lb dynamic load capacity and 29 lb static load capacity
• No flange and round bore type for straightforward press-fit installation into standard housings
• Compact dimensions: 0.1875 inches bore, 0.3125 inches OD, 0.1094 inches wide

Compatibility

Designed as a standard miniature ball bearing replacement for applications requiring a 3/16 inch bore, 0.3125 inch OD, single-row open-style bearing with ABEC-5 tolerances.

Installation Notes

Miniature ball bearings should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with precision bearing fitting practices. Power down and de-energize all equipment before servicing rotating assemblies. Use a proper bearing press or installation sleeve to apply even force to the bearing ring being seated — never strike the bearing directly or apply force across the rolling elements. Inspect the housing bore and shaft for burrs, scoring, or out-of-tolerance dimensions before installation to avoid premature bearing failure.
