Tritan SS3838 ZZ FM222 Deep Groove Radial Ball Bearing collectible

Industrial Radial Ball Bearing

The Tritan SS3838 ZZ FM222 is a new deep groove radial ball bearing built to industry number 1616. It suits maintenance teams and OEMs who need a stainless steel bearing for chemical, food, beverage, pharmaceutical or poultry environments. The double shielded closure helps retain lubricant and exclude contaminants in those settings.

Inch Series Load And Speed Limits

This bearing follows the inch measurement system with a 1/2 in bore and 1 1/8 in outside diameter. Its ABEC 1 rating defines looser running tolerances than higher grades, limiting maximum rotational speed and precision. The dynamic radial load capacity is 800 lbf, and the bore tolerance is +0/-0.0003 in, so designers must verify these limits against their application requirements.

Straightforward Press Fit Installation

The 304 stainless steel rings and balls resist corrosion, while the 304 stainless cage maintains ball spacing without separate lubrication channels. Install by pressing evenly on the inner ring to avoid brinelling the raceways; pressing on the outer ring or shields often causes damage. Ensure the housing bore and shaft seat are clean and within tolerance before assembly.
