Miniature Ball Bearings with Extended Inner Ring
The Extended Inner Ring Simplifies Installation
Miniaturized Size for Narrow Spaces
Better Shaft Support and Stability
Miniature Extended Inner Ring Bearing Selection Guide
How to Choose This Bearing Type
Choose this category when the bearing must provide a built-in shaft spacer, an easier positioning surface, or wider inner-ring support in a compact assembly. If your design also needs an outer-ring flange for housing location, use miniature flanged ball bearings with extended inner ring instead. For standard miniature bearings without the extended inner ring, compare inch size miniature ball bearings.
Common Series and Model Range
| Series / Option | Typical Meaning | Selection Notes |
|---|---|---|
| RW series | Chrome steel miniature ball bearings with extended inner ring | Common choice for clean, dry precision assemblies where cost and radial load capacity matter. |
| SRW series | Stainless steel version of RW-style extended inner ring bearings | Better for humid, lightly corrosive, or cleanliness-sensitive applications. |
| Open / ZZ | Open or metal shielded versions | Open type supports external lubrication; ZZ shields help retain grease and reduce light contamination. |
| Size coverage | 0.04688″ to 0.3125″ bore, 0.15625″ to 0.625″ OD | Confirm bore, OD, inner-ring width, inner-ring OD, and shaft layout before replacement. |
How to Read a Model Number: Example SRW0ZZ
In SRW0ZZ, “S” indicates stainless steel, “RW” identifies the miniature extended inner ring bearing series, “0” is the size code, and “ZZ” means two metal shields. This model has a 0.04688″ bore, 0.15625″ OD, 0.0937″ width, and 0.1249″ inner ring width.
Open vs ZZ Selection
Open bearings are suitable when the assembly allows relubrication and low drag is important. ZZ shielded bearings are better when the bearing needs light dust protection and grease retention in small motors, instruments, printers, or compact mechanisms. This product list mainly covers open and ZZ shielded options; if a sealed 2RS version is required, confirm whether it can be sourced or customized.
Key Specifications to Confirm Before Quotation
For this bearing type, do not confirm only bore and OD. Also check the inner ring width, inner-ring OD, outer-ring width, shaft fit, adjacent gear or pulley position, radial clearance, material, speed, and load. These details determine whether the extended inner ring can replace a spacer or simplify the shaft assembly correctly.
EZO-Style Replacement Notes
RW and SRW model numbers are often searched as EZO-style replacement or cross-reference numbers. TFL can help customers source suitable alternatives after confirming the bearing number, drawing, sample, or application requirements. Brand names and part numbers should be used for identification and interchange checking only.
Common Applications
Common applications include dental tools, optical instruments, micro motors, compact pumps, valves, printers, scanners, office automation equipment, card readers, robotics joints, RC models, drones, and miniature gearboxes where a wider inner ring helps improve shaft positioning and assembly stability.
Popular Models / High-Demand Models
| Model Example | Typical Size / Feature | Common Buying Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| SRW0ZZ | 0.04688″ bore, stainless steel, ZZ shielded | Good priority model for very small EZO-style SRW0ZZ replacement searches and urgent sourcing cases. |
| RW1ZZ / SRW1ZZ | 0.05556″ bore, compact shielded RW/SRW option | Useful for very small precision devices requiring a wider inner ring and light contamination protection. |
| RW2ZZ / SRW2ZZ | 0.125″ bore, 0.375″ OD, shielded option | Common small-size extended inner ring option for compact motors and instruments. |
| RW4ZZ | 0.25″ bore, 0.625″ OD, higher radial load range | Useful when the design still needs miniature dimensions but requires more radial load capacity. |
