Choosing the Right Miniature Precision Ball Bearing

Miniature Precision Ball Bearings are used in a wide range of applications, from medical and dental instruments, including dental hand-pieces and syncrometers, to fuel controls, encoders, servo motors, meters, radio controlled vehicles, gyros, and other precision instruments. If you’re working on any of these applications or an application with similar functions, the Miniature Precision Bearing might be a great option for you.

While Miniature Precision Bearings contain the same components used in standard radial ball bearings, what makes them different is their internal diameter which measures less than 3/8 inches or 9.5 mm. The Miniature Precision Bearings are manufactured with rings made from chrome or stainless steel and super finished raceways in order to operate at very high rotational speeds.

Miniature Precision Bearings

• are available with shields and seals to protect from contamination
• utilize extremely precise tolerances
• are designed to handle loads and reduce friction
• offer a wide variety of additional design variations
• are capable of being tailored to your specific application

Selecting the correct Miniature Precision Bearing for your specific application can be difficult. When choosing the correct bearing, you will want to consider radial clearance, precision level, and grease for your application.
