The Advantage of a Flange Bearing
The key feature of this bearing type is its outer ring, which is directly integrated with a flange that serves as a built-in retaining edge.
This allows for straightforward installation by fixing the bearing at the end or shoulder of the housing hole using the flange, eliminating the need for complex positioning grooves or additional components like covers or retaining rings. This simplification reduces both manufacturing costs and assembly time.
Suitable for Compact and Precision Applications
As a member of the miniature bearing family, the inch size miniature flanged ball bearing is extremely compact in size, with its inner diameter, outer diameter and width all controlled within a tiny range (marked in inch size).
This miniaturised feature makes it an ideal choice for precision equipment and miniaturised products where space is extremely limited. They are widely used in fields such as medical equipment (such as dental drills, surgical tools), small motors, robot joints, hard disk drives, model toys, and various automated equipment.
In these applications, high-speed, low-friction or precise rotational motion often needs to be achieved in a confined space, and the size advantage of miniature bearings precisely meets these demanding requirements.
Multiple Materials and Sealing Types
To meet the diverse demands of working environments, inch size miniature flanged ball bearings can be made from a variety of materials, such as standard bearing steel (high-carbon chromium steel, suitable for general environments) or stainless steel (with better corrosion resistance, suitable for humid or corrosive medium environments).
At the same time, we also offer different sealing or dust-proof forms, including open type, metal shield type, or rubber seal type. These options enable users to select the most suitable bearing type based on specific application scenarios, such as exposure to contaminants, humidity, or corrosive substances, thereby ensuring the performance and service life of the bearings.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I specify the bearing size I need?
Specify the bearing size by its bore diameter (d), outer diameter (D), flange OD (D1), and width (B) in inches. Check our product drawings for precise dimensions.
Are Inch Size Miniature Flanged Ball Bearings suitable for heavy loads?
No. As small bearings, they are designed primarily for light to moderate radial and thrust loads common in compact, high-precision applications.
What materials are Inch Size Miniature Flanged Ball Bearings made from?
Typically, they are available in 52100 Chrome Steel for general use or 440c Stainless Steel for better corrosion resistance in damp environments.
