R2-5-ZZ Inch Series Miniature Ball Bearing | High-Performance Precision | 3.175×7.938×3.571mm

R2-5-ZZ Inch Series Miniature Ball Bearing | High-Performance Precision | 3.175×7.938×3.571mm

The R2-5-ZZ is a precision-engineered, inch-series miniature deep groove ball bearing designed for applications where rotational stability and radial clearance control are paramount. With a 1/8" bore diameter, this model is slightly more robust than the ultra-micro series, offering a balanced power-to-size ratio. It is equipped with dual metallic shields (ZZ) that provide a physical barrier against workplace debris while maintaining a non-contact interface with the inner ring to prevent friction-induced heat. This specialized construction ensures the R2-5-ZZ remains the preferred choice for high-speed micro-motors and sensitive transmission systems.

R2-5-ZZ Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing 3.175 × 7.938 × 3.571 mm | Low Vibration & High Durability

Optimized for mechanical assemblies where precision and longevity cannot be compromised, the R2-5-ZZ excels in medium-to-high RPM environments. Its internal raceway geometry is honed to a mirror finish, significantly reducing the starting torque and operational noise. Whether integrated into a high-end RC brushless motor or a medical ventilation system, this bearing delivers consistent performance under both radial and axial loads.

Key Performance Features

01. GCr15 High-Carbon Chrome Steel Construction

Forged from premium SAE 52100 (GCr15) chrome steel, the rings and balls exhibit superior fatigue resistance and dimensional stability. The components undergo a rigorous heat treatment process to reach an optimal HRC 60-64 hardness, ensuring that the P5 (ABEC-5) precision grade is maintained even under continuous industrial cycling.

02. Dual Metal Shielding System (ZZ)

The R2-5-ZZ utilizes a non-rubbing metallic shield configuration. This design allows the bearing to reach significantly higher speeds than sealed variants by eliminating contact friction. The shields are precisely pressed into the outer ring, creating a labyrinth path that retains the factory-fill grease while effectively blocking larger contaminants.

03. Optimized Inch-Series Geometry

With a 1/8-inch bore and 5/16-inch outer diameter, the R2-5-ZZ fits the "mid-range" of the miniature category. This sizing provides greater load-bearing capacity than smaller micro-bearings while remaining compact enough for handheld devices. Its lightweight profile minimizes the moment of inertia, facilitating rapid acceleration and deceleration.
