R2-5 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The R2-5 is a high-precision, single row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring reliable performance in compact spaces. Manufactured to ABEC1 precision standards, it offers excellent radial load capacity and smooth operation. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery and precision instruments. The use of high-grade chrome steel for rings and balls ensures durability and long service life.
R2-5 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Element | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| R2-5 | Standard inch series designation, indicating a bore diameter of 1/8" (0.125") |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields, allowing for custom lubrication schemes and higher potential speeds |
| ABEC1 | Precision tolerance class ensuring consistent running accuracy |
| MC3 | Specified radial internal clearance group (0.00008" to 0.0005") |
R2-5 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Radial Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and six precisely sized balls enable efficient handling of the 107 lbf dynamic radial load rating, making it ideal for applications with significant radial forces.
- High-Speed Capability: The stainless steel cage ensures ball guidance and stability, contributing to a limiting speed of 60,000 rpm. The open construction minimizes friction and heat generation at high rotational velocities.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerances with tight dimensional control on the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width, ensuring predictable performance and ease of installation.
- Material Integrity: Components made from chrome steel offer high hardness and wear resistance, while the stainless steel cage provides excellent corrosion resistance, enhancing overall bearing longevity.
