R14 Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing | Open, ZZ, 2RS High Precision Bearings

The R14 deep groove ball bearing is a high-precision imperial miniature bearing designed for compact, space-constrained micro mechanical systems that require stable high-speed rotation, low noise and long operational lifespan. Manufactured with standard imperial dimensions, finely polished raceways and high-precision rolling elements, this single-row micro bearing delivers ultra-low friction, minimal vibration and excellent dimensional stability. Optimized for light-load and high-frequency cyclic operation, the R14 offers solid structural rigidity and consistent wear resistance, making it ideal for modern miniaturized precision electromechanical devices and compact automated systems. Available in three mainstream industrial configurations, including open type, R14ZZ double metal shield type and R14-2RS double rubber sealed type, this imperial bearing features five industrial-grade material options to suit economical, sanitary, high-wear and corrosive working environments for diverse micro-precision industrial applications.

R14 Open / ZZ / 2RS Structural Features

R14 Open Type: The unsealed open structure enables unobstructed air circulation and efficient heat dissipation, effectively preventing thermal accumulation during prolonged high-speed continuous operation. It supports convenient grease replenishment and tool-free routine maintenance without creating extra rotational resistance. Ideal for clean, dry indoor workshops and fully enclosed precision micro machinery, it maintains ultra-high running accuracy and stable long-cycle performance for lightweight micro mechanical assemblies.

R14ZZ Double Metal Shields: Equipped with dual non-contact steel shields, the R14ZZ miniature bearing effectively blocks fine dry dust, floating micro particles and tiny industrial debris. The non-contact protective design preserves original high-speed smoothness and micro precision with negligible friction loss. Offering reliable durability and outstanding cost performance, it is widely adopted in dry working conditions for micro high-speed motors, drone precision components, optical instruments and miniature transmission systems.

R14-2RS Double Rubber Seals: The fully sealed R14-2RS variant adopts double-sided contact rubber seals to comprehensively isolate moisture, water splashes, oil mist and corrosive fine dust. It securely locks internal micro lubricant to prevent leakage, oxidation and aging, enabling long-term maintenance-free operation. This versatile sealed model operates stably in humid, dusty and mildly harsh environments for portable micro precision devices and outdoor miniature electromechanical equipment.

R14 Bearing Material Performance

Carbon Steel: High cost-performance industrial base material with uniform hardness and stable anti-fatigue properties. It delivers reliable wear resistance and smooth high-speed rotation for standard micro precision machinery, perfect for mass batch production and cost-sensitive miniature equipment projects.
