603-2RS Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing For Precision Instruments | 3×9×5 mm

The 603-2RS is a Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing designed for high-precision applications where space is extremely limited and reliable sealing is critical. Featuring double rubber contact seals (2RS) , this variant provides superior protection against moisture, dust, and fine particulate contamination. With a tiny 3 mm bore, a 9 mm outer diameter, and a 5 mm width, it is the ideal choice for compact rotary assemblies requiring maintenance-free operation and low frictional torque.



603-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing 3x9x5 mm | ISO 69 Series – Extra Light | Double Rubber Sealed

Engineered with a standard deep groove raceway design, this bearing facilitates high-speed capabilities up to 38,000 r/min (Oil) . The 603-2RS is optimized to accommodate moderate radial loads and limited axial loads in confined spaces, ensuring operational reliability in medical devices, small-scale automation, and precision electronic instruments.

Key Performance Features

01. Compact Footprint, Robust Performance

Built to the extra-light 69 series standard in a 3×9×5mm profile, this bearing offers a surprising load capacity relative to its minimal size. It is the premier choice for engineers facing severe radial space constraints.

02. Integral Contact Sealing

Equipped with non-removable rubber contact seals (2RS) on both sides, the 603-2RS provides a labyrinthine barrier against contaminants. This design effectively retains factory grease, excludes process debris, and supports extended service intervals in demanding environments.

03. High-Grade Precision for Smooth Rotation

Manufactured to stringent geometric tolerances, this bearing ensures exceptionally low vibration and noise levels. Its consistent internal clearance makes it suitable for sensitive equipment where smooth start-up and quiet running are non-negotiable.

Design & Configuration

The 603-2RS is supplied as standard with lithium-based grease lubrication and dual rubber contact seals. This configuration ensures the bearing remains "maintenance-free" for the life of the assembly, making it ideal for sealed-for-life applications. For scenarios where minimal rotational torque is prioritized over absolute contaminant exclusion, the double shield variant (603-ZZ) is also available.

"Selected by design engineers for its exceptionally small form factor and reliable sealing, the 603-2RS ensures consistent performance in compact electromechanical assemblies where access for re-lubrication is impossible and operational cleanliness is mandatory."
