Metric Size Miniature Flanged Ball Bearings
Metric Size Miniature Flanged Ball Bearings are single row ball bearings available from 1mm through 9mm bore sizes. Metric flanged ball bearings have a solid steel flange on the outer ring.
Simplified Installation with Flange
The key feature of these metric size miniature flanged ball bearings is the flange – an extended lip on the outer ring. This flange acts as a locating shoulder, simplifying housing design, because it often doesn’t require a precisely machined shoulder inside the housing bore.
This allows flange bearing installation to be easier, faster, and potentially more cost-effective, especially useful in high-volume assembly.
Choose these for streamlined mounting in your designs.
Ideal for Compact and Miniature Designs
As “miniature” bearings, these small bearings are perfect for applications where space is extremely limited.
Their tiny overall dimensions, including the miniature balls, allow designers to incorporate reliable rolling motion into very small devices like medical instruments, computer peripherals, or small motors.
The flange adds functionality without significantly increasing the radial space required compared to a non-flanged bearing of similar core bearing sizes.
Standard Metric Sizes for Easy Selection
These bearings are readily available in standardised metric bearing sizes. Common bore diameters range from 1mm up to about 10mm.
Using standard metric dimensions ensures interchangeability, making it easy for engineers to specify and source the correct bearing sizes for their designs using common part numbering systems.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What typical load types are these metric miniature bearings designed for?
They are primarily designed for light to moderate radial loads and some axial loads, typical of compact, high-precision devices and instruments.
Are Metric Size Miniature Flanged Ball Bearings suitable for high-speed rotation?
Yes, like other tiny ball bearings, they can handle high speeds, but the exact limit depends on size, lubrication, and application conditions.
Do these metric flanged bearings come with seals or shields?
Yes, many Metric Size Miniature Flanged Ball Bearings are available in Open, Shielded (ZZ), or Sealed (2RS) versions to protect the internal miniature ball elements.
Do you offer samples? What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Sample availability and Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) can vary by product model. Please check the specific product page or contact our sales team for details on the bearing you need.
