R3A-ZZ Precision Inch Ball Bearing for Micro-Mechanisms & Instrumentation | 3/16×5/8×0.196 in

R3A-ZZ Precision Inch Ball Bearing for Micro-Mechanisms & Instrumentation | 3/16×5/8×0.196 in

Built for high-precision operations in compact fractional-inch assemblies, the R3A-ZZ stands out as a top-tier double-shielded deep groove ball bearing. Equipped with twin metallic shields (ZZ), it forms a highly effective barrier against airborne dust and contaminants while securing the factory-applied lubricant inside. Because these metal shields are engineered to hover just above the inner ring without physical contact, the R3A-ZZ ensures minimal rotational drag and virtually zero start-up friction. This makes it a critical component for 3/16-inch bore applications like aerospace avionics, delicate medical instruments, and miniature gearboxes.

R3A-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 3/16 x 5/8 x 0.196 in | Heavy-Duty Fractional Profile | Double Metal Shields

Manufactured to stringent industrial tolerances, this inch-sized bearing features an expanded 5/8-inch outer diameter (unlike the standard R3), granting it enhanced radial load capacity and superior durability in demanding environments. The dual non-contact steel shields defend the micro-polished internal raceways from particle intrusion without causing the heat buildup typically associated with rubber friction seals. Consequently, the R3A-ZZ is fully optimized for sustained, high-speed rotations, offering long-lasting reliability for automated robotics, precision measuring devices, and RC hobby applications.

Key Performance Features

01. Low-Torque Non-Contact Shielding

The dual pressed-steel shields (ZZ) guard the rolling elements against debris without touching the inner ring. This frictionless sealing architecture prevents high-speed heat generation, thereby conserving energy and maximizing the operational lifespan of battery-powered devices.

02. Industrial-Grade Chrome Steel (GCr15)

Constructed from ultra-pure, vacuum-degassed 52100 chrome steel, both the races and the balls are meticulously heat-treated to ensure maximum Rockwell hardness and resistance to mechanical fatigue. The result is a highly durable, whisper-quiet rotational experience.

03. Upgraded Fractional-Inch Geometry

With its 3/16-inch bore, 5/8-inch OD, and 0.196-inch width, the R3A series provides a more substantial outer ring compared to standard R3 bearings. This design handles increased radial stresses and light bi-directional axial forces while maintaining a compact layout.

Design & Configuration

Every standard R3A-ZZ bearing is factory-lubricated with a premium, low-friction grease designed to excel in general industrial and high-speed applications. Should your project dictate highly specific parameters, we can provide this model with a C3 internal clearance to offset thermal expansion during extreme RPMs, or manufacture it in AISI 440C stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance. For operating environments exposed to splashing fluids or severe dust, inquire about our R3A-2RS (rubber-sealed) alternative.

"Delivering enhanced load tolerance within a micro-inch footprint, the R3A-ZZ empowers engineers to push the boundaries of high-speed miniaturization."
