Product Overview
High-Precision R144ZZ / R144Z Inch Series Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The R144ZZ (R144Z) Inch Series Miniature Ball Bearing is an imperial single-row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-precision, low-vibration, and high-speed rotary applications. Featuring a standard imperial bore size of 1/8″ (3.175mm), an outer diameter of 1/4″ (6.350mm), and a width of 7/64″ (2.779mm), the R144ZZ is a widely specified component in imperial micro-mechanical assemblies, optical encoders, dental equipment, and precision robotics.
High-Grade Chrome Steel & Dust Shielded Protection
Manufactured from high-carbon chromium bearing steel (GCr15 / AISI 52100), the inner ring, outer ring, and precision micro balls undergo specialized thermal heat treatment to achieve high surface hardness (HRC 60-65) and structural fatigue strength. Equipped with dual non-contact stamped metal shields (ZZ designation), the bearing retains factory grease and shields internal raceways against ambient dust and foreign particulates.
Ultra-Low Friction & Extreme RPM Capability
Equipped with precision-honed raceway grooves and a balanced ribbon cage, the R144ZZ bearing achieves exceptional rotational speeds up to 67,000 RPM under oil lubrication. Its sub-micron dimensional tolerances ensure smooth radial guidance and minimal axial play in micro-spindle assemblies.
Custom Manufacturing & Material Options
To support specialized industrial and OEM application environments, custom configurations are available upon request:
- Stainless Steel Options: Stainless steel (SUS440C / SUS304) construction for damp, corrosive, or medical-grade environments.
- Flanged Ring Design: Flanged outer ring model (FR144ZZ) available for simplified housing mounting and axial location.
- Ceramic Hybrid Options: Silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic ball options for ultra-high-speed, low-inertia performance.
- Precision Grading: Available in ABEC-1, ABEC-3, ABEC-5, and ABEC-7 tolerance classes.
