MR52 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The MR52 metric miniature ball bearing is a single row radial ball bearing engineered for compact applications requiring reliable performance. Characterized by its open design and ABEC1 precision class, this bearing is optimized for high-speed operation up to 85,000 rpm. Its construction from chrome steel ensures durability and consistent operation under radial loads. The bearing's minimal weight of 0.14 g and small bearing dimensions (2mm bore, 5mm OD) make it an ideal component for precision mechanisms where space and weight are critical constraints.
MR52 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| MR52 | Standard model designation for this specific metric miniature bearing series. |
| Open (No Seal Code) | Indicates an open bearing without seals or shields, allowing for higher speeds and custom lubrication schemes. |
MR52 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, six precision balls, and an open design enables a limiting speed of 85,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed spindles and miniature motors.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled MC3 radial internal clearance (0.002mm to 0.013mm), ensuring smooth and precise rotation with minimal runout.
- Robust Load Capacity: Constructed entirely from chrome steel (rings and balls), providing a dynamic load rating of 32 lbf and a static load rating of 9 lbf for its size, offering reliable performance in demanding radial load applications.
- Application Flexibility: The open seal type allows for a wide operating temperature range (-30°C to 110°C) and the option for specialized lubricants to meet specific environmental or performance requirements.
MR52 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Small Precision Motors and DC Micromotors
