R26 Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing | Open, ZZ, 2RS High Precision Bearings

The R26 deep groove ball bearing is a high-precision imperial miniature bearing designed for compact, space-constrained micro mechanical systems requiring stable high-speed rotation, low noise and long service life. Built with standard imperial dimensions, finely polished raceways and premium rolling elements, this single-row micro bearing delivers ultra-low friction, minimal vibration and reliable dimensional stability. Optimized for light-load, high-frequency cyclic operation, the R26 features solid structural rigidity and excellent wear resistance, maintaining consistent precision during long-term continuous operation. Available in three mainstream industrial versions including open type, R26ZZ double metal shield type and R26-2RS double rubber sealed type, this imperial micro bearing supports five industrial-grade materials to adapt to economical, sanitary, high-wear and corrosive working environments for diverse micro-precision industrial applications.

R26 Open / ZZ / 2RS Structural Features

R26 Open Type: The unsealed open structure enables unobstructed air circulation and efficient heat dissipation, effectively preventing thermal accumulation during prolonged high-speed operation. It supports convenient grease replenishment and simple tool-free maintenance without increasing rotational resistance. Ideal for clean, dry indoor workshops and fully enclosed micro precision machinery, it retains ultra-high running accuracy and stable long-cycle performance for lightweight micro mechanical assemblies.

R26ZZ Double Metal Shields: Equipped with dual non-contact steel shields, the R26ZZ 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. Featuring stable durability and outstanding cost performance, it is widely applied in dry working conditions for micro high-speed motors, drone precision components, optical instruments and miniature transmission systems.

R26-2RS Double Rubber Seals: The fully sealed R26-2RS 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.

R26 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, ideal for mass batch production and cost-sensitive miniature equipment projects.

304 Stainless Steel: Food-grade stainless steel with superior rust and oxidation resistance. It prevents micro corrosion in humid and open environments, perfectly suitable for food processing accessories and sanitary micro precision equipment.

316 Stainless Steel: Marine-grade corrosion-resistant material with strong tolerance to acid, alkali and salt spray erosion. It withstands coastal humidity and mild chemical exposure, applicable for marine micro instruments and light chemical miniature machinery.

420 Stainless Steel: High-toughness martensitic stainless steel balancing moderate corrosion resistance and high surface hardness. It maintains stable wear resistance and precise dimensional stability during continuous high-speed micro cyclic operation.

440 Stainless Steel: Ultra-high hardness stainless steel with top-tier abrasion resistance and structural stability. It ensures accurate and stable micro operation under severe wear and corrosive conditions, optimized for high-end micro precision mechanical systems.
