Product Description


The MR913 Miniature Radial Ball Bearing represents the pinnacle of micro-engineering, meticulously crafted to deliver uncompromising rotational smoothness in the most space-constrained environments. When you hold this bearing, the superior craftsmanship is immediately apparent in its flawless, polished metallic finish and the seamless, frictionless glide of its inner ring. Manufactured from premium-grade GCr15 bearing steel or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it is subjected to advanced heat treatment processes that harden the raceways, ensuring exceptional fatigue resistance even under continuous, high-speed stress. In operation, the bearing produces a barely perceptible, low-decibel hum, a testament to its superior Z1 and Z2 noise level ratings. This acoustic refinement is critical for sensitive applications like medical devices and precision robotics, where auditory interference is strictly unacceptable. By integrating this component into your mechanical assemblies, you are not merely purchasing a structural part; you are securing a foundation of reliability that dramatically reduces maintenance downtime, enhances the lifecycle of your end products, and elevates the overall operational efficiency of your entire production output.

Key Features & Highlights

Engineered to resolve the most demanding mechanical challenges, the MR913 miniature bearing transforms how compact machinery operates, delivering tangible improvements to your assembly line and end-user satisfaction.

Unmatched Rotational Stability

Vibration and friction are the primary enemies of micro-machinery. This bearing is precisely calibrated to maintain perfect concentricity, drastically reducing wear and tear on adjacent components and extending the lifecycle of your entire assembly.

  • Eliminates micro-vibrations that can compromise sensitive electronic and optical equipment.

  • Ensures a fluid, frictionless glide that significantly reduces energy consumption in battery-operated devices.

  • Maintains absolute structural integrity even under sudden, unpredictable load shifts.

Acoustic Excellence

For applications where silence is a premium feature, the internal geometry of this bearing has been refined to suppress operational noise at its source.

  • Achieves strict Z1 and Z2 noise level standards, perfect for consumer electronics and quiet laboratory environments.

  • Polished raceways and precisely matched balls prevent the harsh grinding sounds typical of inferior alternatives.

  • Enhances the premium, high-quality feel of your final product through whisper-quiet operation.

Thermal and Environmental Resilience

Whether operating in freezing conditions or high-heat industrial environments, this component maintains its dimensional stability without seizing or degrading.

  • Guarantees flawless operation within a broad temperature spectrum of -20°C to +120°C.

  • Superior heat dissipation properties prevent thermal expansion during prolonged high-speed rotations.

  • Customizable lubrication options ensure the bearing never runs dry, regardless of the operating climate.


Comprehensive Application & Engineering Capabilities


Our engineering approach ensures that every MR913 bearing integrates flawlessly into your specific industrial requirements, providing a seamless bridge between raw specifications and real-world performance.

Core Dimensional Adaptability

The standardized 13mm x 30mm x 9mm profile provides engineers with a highly predictable, compact footprint. This exact sizing allows for effortless integration into tight housing spaces, streamlining the design phase for compact equipment and reducing time-to-market.

Advanced Material & Craftsmanship

By offering both GCr15 bearing steel and stainless steel, we empower you to choose the exact metallurgical properties your application demands. The advanced heat-treatment process hardens the steel to resist micro-fractures, ensuring long-term durability and dimensional consistency across massive production runs.

Precision and Speed Mastery

With precision grades scaling from ABEC-1 to ABEC-5, and a staggering limiting speed of up to 28,000 RPM, this bearing is the ultimate solution for micro-motors. It guarantees that high-speed rotations remain perfectly stable, safeguarding your expensive equipment against catastrophic high-speed failures.

Tailored Shielding and Lubrication

Environmental contamination can destroy internal mechanics. We provide versatile protection protocols to shield the internal rolling elements from dust, moisture, and debris.

  • Open Type: Maximizes speed capabilities and heat dissipation for clean-room environments.

  • ZZ Shield (Double Metal): Defends against particulate matter while allowing high-speed functionality up to 22,000 RPM.

  • 2RS Seal (Double Rubber): Creates an impenetrable barrier against liquids and fine dust, ideal for harsh environments.

Broad Industry Versatility

This component is the silent powerhouse behind numerous modern innovations. It serves as the critical joint in robotic arms, the smooth drive mechanism in laboratory centrifuges, and the reliable core in compact power tools and servo drives.

Deep Customization Integration

We understand that standard off-the-shelf solutions do not always suffice. Our production lines are equipped to adapt to your exact engineering blueprints.

  • Custom internal clearances (C0, C2, C3) to expertly manage thermal expansion in heat-intensive applications.

  • Laser-etched branding and part numbers for seamless inventory management and brand reinforcement.

  • Pre-production sample validation to guarantee perfect alignment with your stringent quality standards.

Supply Chain Reliability & Cost Efficiency

Sourcing directly from the manufacturing floor eliminates intermediary markups. We guarantee stable lead times for continuous projects and offer highly competitive pricing structures that protect your profit margins on both medium and large-scale orders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


To assist your engineering and procurement teams, we have compiled detailed answers to the most critical technical inquiries regarding the MR913 series.

What is the primary difference between the ZZ and 2RS sealing options for the MR913?

The ZZ variant utilizes double metal shields, which provide excellent protection against larger particulates while maintaining a very low friction coefficient, allowing for high speeds up to 22,000 RPM. The 2RS variant features double rubber seals that make physical contact with the inner ring. This creates a superior barrier against moisture and fine dust, though the slight increase in friction limits the maximum speed to approximately 15,000 RPM.

Can the internal clearance be adjusted for high-temperature applications?

Yes, we highly recommend customizing the internal clearance for environments prone to thermal expansion. While C0 is the standard clearance for normal operations, we can manufacture the MR913 with a C3 clearance. The C3 specification provides additional microscopic space between the balls and raceways, preventing the bearing from seizing when the metal expands under high heat.

How does the choice between GCr15 steel and stainless steel impact performance?

GCr15 bearing steel is the industry standard for high load capacity and exceptional fatigue life under normal environmental conditions. However, if your application exposes the bearing to corrosive elements, moisture, or requires frequent washdowns (such as in medical or laboratory machinery), stainless steel is the superior choice. It sacrifices a marginal amount of load capacity in exchange for unparalleled rust and corrosion resistance.

What lubrication options are available for low-noise requirements?

We offer specialized low-noise greases that are formulated with ultra-fine thickeners and premium base oils. These bespoke greases dampen the acoustic resonance of the rolling elements, ensuring the bearing operates smoothly within the strict Z1 or Z2 noise thresholds. We can pre-fill the bearings with the exact volume of grease required for your specific operational speed to prevent overheating.

Is it possible to receive custom laser engraving on the bearing shields?

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive branding services, which include precision laser marking on the metal shields (ZZ) or the outer ring. You can request custom logos, specific part numbers, or batch codes. This service greatly enhances your brand visibility and simplifies component traceability within your own assembly and supply chain processes.
