R1-5-ZZ Miniature Shielded Ball Bearing | Precision Micro Performance | 3.967×8.731×2.799 mm

R1-5-ZZ Miniature Shielded Ball Bearing | Precision Micro Performance | 3.967×8.731×2.799 mm

The R1-5-ZZ is an imperial sub-miniature deep groove ball bearing specifically developed for high-precision instruments where space is extremely limited and low rotational torque is a priority. Featuring an inner diameter of 5/32 inches, this bearing is equipped with dual metallic shields (ZZ) to protect the internal raceways from fine dust and particles. Unlike contact seals, these shields operate without touching the inner ring, effectively eliminating friction drag. This makes the R1-5-ZZ an ideal selection for sensitive micro-mechanisms requiring fluid, high-frequency rotation and long-term reliability.

Key Performance Features

01. Dual Frictionless Metal Shields (ZZ)

The R1-5-ZZ utilizes non-contacting metal shields on both sides to retain internal lubrication and block environmental contaminants. This design ensures that the bearing can reach its maximum theoretical RPM by preventing the heat buildup and torque resistance associated with rubber seals, making it perfect for high-velocity micro-motors.

02. Specialized Sub-Miniature Imperial Dimensions

With its unique 3.967 mm (5/32") bore and 8.731 mm (11/32") outer diameter, the R1-5-ZZ fills a critical niche in imperial-standard micro-engineering. Its slim 2.799 mm width allows it to be integrated into ultra-thin housings where standard metric miniature bearings may not fit.

03. Heat-Treated GCr15 Chrome Steel

Crafted from premium GCr15 Chrome Steel (SAE 52100), all components are subjected to rigorous hardening processes. This provides the R1-5-ZZ with superior wear resistance and high fatigue strength. Our P5-grade manufacturing ensures that the rolling elements maintain strict tolerances for whisper-quiet performance.
