R156-ZZ Shielded Miniature Ball Bearing | High-Speed Micro-Rotation | 4.762 × 7.938 × 3.175 mm

R156-ZZ Shielded Miniature Ball Bearing | High-Speed Micro-Rotation | 4.762 × 7.938 × 3.175 mm

Engineered for highly restricted spatial requirements, the R156-ZZ is an ultra-compact imperial ball bearing that delivers flawless rotational accuracy in a miniature footprint. By incorporating two non-contact steel shields ("ZZ"), this bearing effectively safeguards its internal raceways from dust and external particulates while permanently retaining its factory lubrication. With its exact 3/16-inch bore and exceptionally slim 5/16-inch outer diameter, the R156-ZZ is the definitive solution for engineers seeking to minimize weight and save critical space in micro-mechanical assemblies without sacrificing durability.

R156-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing Inch Series Bearing | Optimal Space Efficiency & Dust Resistance

Designed to thrive in small-scale, high-velocity environments, the closed-shield architecture of the R156-ZZ guarantees long-term stability and reduces the need for continuous maintenance. Because the metal shields hover just above the inner ring without physical friction, the bearing achieves excellent heat dissipation and maintains low torque resistance. Whether functioning inside a precision medical instrument or a miniaturized consumer electronic device, this bearing provides whisper-quiet operation and superior lifecycle performance.

Key Performance Features

01. Two-Piece Metal Shields (ZZ)

The inclusion of twin pressed-steel shields creates an effective barrier against airborne contaminants. This enclosure system ensures that the rolling elements remain thoroughly lubricated by the factory-injected grease, preventing dry-running and metal-on-metal wear, all while allowing the bearing to operate smoothly at extreme RPMs.

02. Premium GCr15 Bearing Steel

Crafted from high-grade GCr15 Chrome Steel (SAE 52100) and finished to rigorous P5 precision standards, the R156-ZZ boasts exceptional surface hardness. This optimized metallurgical profile grants the bearing superior radial load capacity and excellent resistance to structural fatigue during continuous, high-frequency operation.

03. Ultra-Compact Imperial Dimensions

Featuring a 4.762 mm (3/16") inner diameter and a tightly confined 7.938 mm (5/16") outer diameter, the R156-ZZ is noticeably more compact than standard 3/16-inch bore bearings. Its 3.175 mm (1/8") width makes it an incredibly versatile component for lightweight, ultra-thin housing enclosures where minimizing hardware bulk is a top priority.
