R2zz Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The R2zz is a precision miniature ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring reliable performance in compact spaces. As a single row deep groove ball bearing with shielded construction, it is primarily designed to handle radial loads efficiently. Its inch-series dimensions, high-grade chrome steel components, and ABEC1 precision class make it an ideal choice for high-speed, low-noise operations in precision instruments and small machinery, offering an excellent balance of performance, durability, and value.
R2zz Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| R | Series designation for inch-size miniature bearings |
| 2 | Bore diameter code (0.125") |
| zz | Double-sided shields (non-contact) for contaminant protection while maintaining high-speed capability |
R2zz Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a stainless steel cage, precision-ground chrome steel balls, and non-contact shields enables a limiting speed of 56,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-rotation applications.
- Radial Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 121 lbf and static load rating of 39 lbf, this bearing provides reliable support for radial forces in compact assemblies.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3 group), ensuring smooth operation and reduced vibration.
- Durable Construction: Components made from chrome steel (rings and balls) and 300 series stainless steel shields offer excellent wear resistance and corrosion protection.
- Compact & Lightweight: With an overall weight of just 1.37 grams and compact bearing dimensions (0.125" bore x 0.375" OD x 0.1562" width), it is ideal for space-constrained designs.
