R3-ZZ Miniature Shielded Ball Bearing | High-Speed Low-Friction Metal Shield Performance | 4.762×12.700×4.978 mm (3/16×1/2×0.196 in)

R3-ZZ Miniature Shielded Ball Bearing | High-Speed Low-Friction Metal Shield Performance | 4.762×12.700×4.978 mm (3/16×1/2×0.196 in)

The R3-ZZ is a high-precision, double-shielded single-row miniature ball bearing engineered for exceptional rotational performance in applications where low starting torque and high speeds are critical. Unlike contact rubber seals, this model features dual non-contact pressed steel shields (ZZ) that effectively retain the factory grease and block larger dust particles without generating additional frictional resistance. Designed with fractional inch dimensions—a 3/16-inch bore, 1/2-inch outer diameter, and 0.196-inch width—the R3-ZZ provides a perfect mechanical solution for compact devices, micro-motors, and high-frequency appliances.

R3-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 4.762x12.700x4.978 mm | Dual Metal Shielded | High RPM Precision Layout

Engineered to deliver "low-friction, high-velocity" efficiency, the ZZ configuration relies on precise non-contact metal closures. This layout protects the internal rolling elements and micro-raceways from airborne particulates while allowing the bearing to spin freely up to its maximum rated capacity. It is the preferred choice for instrumentation, specialized electronics, and drone assemblies where minimizing drag is just as important as structural reliability.

Key Performance Features

01. Non-Contact Low-Torque Shielding

The dual pressed-steel shields (ZZ) are anchored into the outer ring and form a non-contact clearance loop over the inner ring. This blocks particulate entry without introducing mechanical drag, enabling ultra-low power consumption.

02. Optimized High-RPM Performance

Forged from ultra-pure GCr15 Chrome Steel, the micro-raceways are meticulously polished to a mirror-grade finish. This significantly lowers heat build-up and structural vibration, allowing the bearing to sustain extreme operational velocities safely.

03. Dual Lubed Versatility

Each bearing comes factory-calibrated and pre-lubricated with high-stability grease for general longevity. However, the non-contact shield design also makes it highly responsive to secondary high-viscosity oil lubrication networks when maximum rotational limits are required.

Interchange Part Numbers

The R3-ZZ is fully standardized globally and can replace or substitute the following industry designations:

  • SKF: R3-2Z / R3ZZ
  • NSK: R3ZZ / MR3ZZ
  • FAG: R3-2Z
  • NMB: R-3ZZ
  • KOYO: EE1S ZZ / R3ZZ
  • Timken: R3-ZZ / 77R3

Design & Configuration

The engineering architecture of the R3-ZZ focuses on reducing rolling resistance inside compact dynamic frameworks. Unlike rubber-sealed variants that push against the inner ring, the metal shields are positioned with a micrometric non-contact gap. This allows the internal high-speed grease matrix to stay confined within the rolling pathway without inducing drag.

It is the optimal upgrade choice for sub-miniature systems where minimal space is available and running hot must be avoided, such as high-output cooling fans, RC models, and micro-stepper motors.

"An ultra-precise, low-friction miniature mechanical core designed to support excessive operational speeds while ensuring smooth, drag-free energy transfer for small-scale applications."
