Miniature bearings
Miniature bearings play a crucial role in various industrial sectors, including the medical and food industries. Their compact size and high precision make them indespensable in applications where reliability and accuracy are required.
Materials and designs
| Material | Features |
|---|---|
| Chrome steel bearings (SAE52100) | High wear resistance and strength |
| Stainless steel bearings (AISI440C) | Ideal for environments with moisture and chemical exposure |
| Implementation | Description |
| Open bearings | Features for standard applications |
| ZZ seal (dust plate) | Protection against dust and light contaminants |
| 2RS seal (splash-proof) | Extra protection against moisture and dirt |
In addition, almost all miniature bearings are also available with a flange, which provides additional stability when mounted.
Precision class and special applications
Depending on the application, the choice is between:
- Precision class: For high-performance industrial applications where minimum tolerances are critical.
- Standard class: Suitable for less demanding applications with normal tolerances.
For special applications, miniature bearings can be customized with:
- Plastic cages such as POM or phenol, for lower weight and less friction.
- Special seals such as PTFE or Viton, for improved sealing properties.
- Ceramic balls, which provide less friction and longer lifespan.
- Extended inner ring, which facilitates assembly and provides better power transmission.
- Deviating grease types or modified amount of grease, tailored to extreme temperatures or special applications.
Applications of miniature bearings
Miniature bearings are widely used in industrial and technological sectors where precision and reliability are essential. Some applications:
- Medical equipment: High precision and hygiene requirements make miniature bearings suitable for MRI scanners, dental equipment and surgical instruments.
- Food industry: Stainless steel bearings are used in production machinery because of their corrosion resistance and food safety.
- Robotics and automation: Compact bearings with high precision are essential for robots and precision mechanical systems.
- Watch and precision engineering: Miniature bearings provide the accuracy needed for small, complex mechanisms.
