The SR1-4 2rs is a miniature radial ball bearing, measuring just 0.078″ in bore and 0.25″ in outer diameter. Made entirely of stainless steel, it’s lightweight at 0.53g and designed for small, precise applications.
With a sealed design using nitrile rubber, it keeps dirt out and lubrication in, making it low-maintenance. It handles radial loads up to 49 lbf and spins smoothly at speeds over 60,000 RPM.
Its ABEC1 tolerance ensures reliable performance in tight spaces. Ideal for small motors, medical devices, or delicate instruments where precision is key.
The bearing operates in temperatures from -86°F to 230°F and meets RoHS and REACH standards for safety. A practical choice for compact, high-speed needs.
Why Choose SR1-4 2rs Bearing for Precision Tasks?
SR1-4 2rs Bearing is crafted with stainless steel rings and balls, ensuring precise radial load handling.
Its compact size of 0.07813″×0.25″×0.1406″ makes it ideal for miniature applications.
The sealed design with nitrile rubber shields protects against contaminants, enhancing durability.
With a maximum speed of 60,300 rpm, it delivers smooth performance in high-speed operations.
Where Is SR1-4 2rs Bearing Used?
SR1-4 2rs Bearing is commonly used in small electric motors, such as those found in drones or RC cars, where its compact size and sealed design prevent dust ingress. The stainless steel construction ensures longevity even in humid conditions.
