The R156-2RS features a sophisticated double-seal architecture. These rubber seals are reinforced with a steel core to prevent deformation and ensure a constant contact pressure against the inner ring. This design effectively prevents grease leakage and protects the bearing from premature wear caused by fine particulate ingress.

02. High-Carbon GCr15 Chrome Steel (SAE 52100)

Constructed from premium GCr15 vacuum-degassed chrome steel, this bearing offers superior fatigue strength and hardness. Every component is precision-ground to P5 (Abec-5) standards to minimize vibration and maximize rotational accuracy, even during rapid acceleration cycles.

03. Optimized Ultra-Slim Imperial Design

With a 4.762 mm (3/16") bore and an outer diameter of only 7.938 mm (5/16"), the R156-2RS provides a high power-to-size ratio. Its 3.175 mm (1/8") width allows it to be integrated into ultra-thin housings where larger bearings simply cannot fit, providing a robust solution for miniaturized engineering.
