Key Performance Features

01. Dual-Shielded Steel Architecture (ZZ)

The R2-6-ZZ is equipped with two non-contact metal shields that are pressed into the outer ring. This design protects the internal ball complement from dust and debris while ensuring the factory-applied grease remains contained within the raceways. This "shielded" configuration is perfect for high-speed applications where minimal torque is required.

02. Premium GCr15 Chrome Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-carbon GCr15 Chrome Steel (SAE 52100), the races and balls are heat-treated and precision-ground to P5 grade standards. This ensures high fatigue strength and dimensional accuracy, allowing the bearing to withstand significant rotational forces without losing its precise tolerances.

03. Robust Imperial Profile

With a 3.175 mm (1/8") bore and a 9.525 mm (3/8") outer diameter, the R2-6-ZZ follows standardized imperial dimensions. Its 3.967 mm (5/32") width provides a larger surface area for the raceways compared to standard miniature series, allowing for higher dynamic and static load ratings in heavy-duty micro-mechanisms.
