D/W R2A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The R2A is a precision miniature ball bearing designed for applications demanding high reliability and dimensional stability. As a single row deep groove ball bearing in an open configuration, it excels at handling radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its compact inch-series design and construction from stainless steel throughout make it an ideal choice for corrosive environments, offering excellent performance within a wide temperature range.
D/W R2A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| R2 | Standard series designation for this inch-size miniature bearing. |
| A | Indicates a 15° contact angle, optimizing it for combined radial and axial loads. |
| (No Seal Suffix) | Open (non-contact) seal type, minimizing friction for higher speeds. |
| (No Lubrication Suffix) | Lubrication: None, allowing for application-specific lubrication or dry running. |
D/W R2A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term performance in harsh or wash-down environments.
- Precision & Low Friction: The open design and deep groove raceway minimize friction and torque, contributing to smooth operation and supporting the high limiting speed of 80,000 rpm.
- Robust Load Capacity: Despite its miniature bearing dimensions (1/8" bore), it offers a substantial dynamic load rating of 82 lbf, providing reliable support for radial loads.
- Standard Precision & Clearance: Built to ABEC 1 (P0) tolerance class with standard radial internal clearance (CN), ensuring consistent and predictable performance for a wide range of general-purpose applications.
D/W R2A Bearing Typical Application Areas
This versatile miniature bearing is commonly specified in:
- Precision Instruments: Optical encoders, medical devices, and laboratory equipment.
- Small Motors and Gearboxes: Stepper motors, servo motors, and miniature drives.
- Office Automation: Printers, scanners, and copiers.
- Radio Control Models: Drones, RC cars, and aircraft.
- Any application requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant bearing with a 1/8" bore.
