MR128-ZZ Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing | High-Speed Shielded Micro Bearing | 8×12×3.5 mm

The MR128-ZZ is a precision-engineered miniature ball bearing designed for high-velocity mechanical systems where low starting torque and minimal heat generation are essential. Featuring dual non-contact metal shields (ZZ), this micro-bearing provides reliable protection against larger debris while allowing the internal lubricant to operate at maximum efficiency. With an 8mm bore, a 12mm outer diameter, and a 3.5mm width, it serves as a critical high-performance component for cooling fans, high-frequency micro motors, and precision hobbyist electronics.



MR128-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 8x12x3.5 mm | Metric Miniature Series | Dual Metal Shields

A high-speed rolling element optimized for low-vibration performance and extreme rotational accuracy. The MR128-ZZ utilizes refined raceway tracks and high-grade steel balls to support radial and bidirectional axial loads within a compact footprint. The non-contact shielding design eliminates the drag associated with rubber seals, enabling the bearing to reach significantly higher RPMs. This makes it a foundational component for advanced robotics, dental equipment, and sensitive instrumentation that requires nearly silent operation and a long service life.

Key Performance Features

01. Frictionless High-Speed Architecture

The defining advantage of the MR128-ZZ is its non-contact metal shield design. Unlike sealed versions, the ZZ configuration generates zero contact friction, allowing for much higher limiting speeds and lower operating temperatures. This is vital for battery-powered devices where energy efficiency and high RPM stability directly impact the product's performance.

02. Compact Space-Saving Geometry

With an 8mm bore and a thin 3.5mm profile, the MR128-ZZ is specifically built for assemblies with extreme space limitations. It provides the reliability of a deep groove ball bearing in a micro-package, allowing engineers to reduce the overall weight and dimensions of their mechanical housings without sacrificing precision.

03. Low-Noise & Vibration-Damping Design

Manufactured from high-purity GCr15 chrome steel and finished to P5 (ABEC-5) or P6 (ABEC-3) tolerances, these bearings ensure a remarkably quiet operation. The precise finishing of the inner and outer raceways minimizes vibration, which is critical for sensitive applications like high-speed dental tools or precision optical equipment.

Design & Configuration

The MR128-ZZ is supplied pre-lubricated with a high-speed synthetic grease, ensuring maintenance-free performance in clean environments. For applications involving high-frequency vibration or extreme temperatures, we offer customized lubrication and clearance (C3) options. If the application environment involves fine dust or moisture, we recommend choosing the MR128-2RS (contact rubber seals) for maximum protection.

"Delivering industrial-grade precision in a micro-envelope, the MR128-ZZ is the definitive solution for high-speed, low-torque mechanical designs."
