NMT W 628/5-2RS1 Stainless Steel Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing – Japan NMT Double-Sealed Maintenance-Free High-Corrosion-Resistance Precision Bearing Solution
Product Overview
The NMT W 628/5-2RS1 is a double-sealed, single-row stainless steel miniature deep groove ball bearing. With a 5 mm bore, 11 mm outer diameter, and 4 mm width, this bearing is manufactured entirely from stainless steel (both rings and rolling elements) with a stainless steel stamped cage, equipped with contact rubber seals on both sides (2RS1) and pre-filled with high-quality grease. It integrates maintenance-free sealing, high corrosion resistance, compact design, and precision rotational accuracy into a single package, accommodating radial and bidirectional axial loads simultaneously.
The bearing offers a basic dynamic load rating of 0.403 kN (91 lbf) and a static load rating of 0.143 kN (32 lbf) . It achieves a limiting speed of 34,000 r/min. The bearing weighs only 0.0015 kg (1.5 g) with an operating temperature range of -30°C to 120°C. The tolerance class is P0 (Normal/ABEC 1) with CN radial clearance. Bore tolerance -0.008mm to 0, OD tolerance -0.008mm to 0, width tolerance -0.12mm to 0.
The 2RS1 double contact rubber seals are the key design feature – contact seals effectively prevent moisture, dust, and other contaminants from entering the bearing interior, and the bearing comes pre-lubricated from the factory for maintenance-free operation. The all-stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. The compact 5×11×4 mm dimensions make it ideal for space-constrained applications. The synergy of maintenance-free sealing, high corrosion resistance, compact design, and precision rotational accuracy makes this bearing the ideal bearing solution for miniature high-speed equipment.
Core Performance Advantages
1. Double Contact Rubber Seals – Maintenance-Free, Extended Life
The bearing features contact rubber seals on both sides (2RS1) that effectively prevent moisture, dust, and other contaminants from entering the bearing interior. The bearing is pre-filled with high-quality grease at the factory and is maintenance-free – no washing or relubrication is required. This ensures stable temperature performance even at 34,000 r/min high speeds, while the integral sealing significantly prolongs bearing service life.
2. All-Stainless Steel Construction – High Corrosion Resistance, Extended Life
Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage all stainless steel), this bearing provides excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. In humid, corrosive, or high-cleanliness environments, stainless steel bearings effectively resist rust and chemical attack, significantly extending service life. This makes them particularly suitable for medical devices, food machinery, optical instruments, and semiconductor equipment with strict cleanliness and corrosion resistance requirements.
3. Compact Miniaturization – 5×11×4 mm
With compact dimensions – 5 mm bore, 11 mm outer diameter, and 4 mm width – this bearing can be easily integrated into space-constrained precision equipment. Weighing only 1.5 g, it is particularly suitable for miniature devices with space and weight requirements, such as precision instruments, miniature motors, and optical scanners.
4. 34,000 r/min High-Speed Performance – Industry-Leading
This bearing achieves a limiting speed of 34,000 r/min. The low-friction design and optimized internal geometry(shoulder diameter d₁ ≈ 6.81 mm, recess diameter D₂ ≈ 9.9 mm, chamfer r₁,₂ min. 0.15 mm)ensure stable operation and low heat generation at high speeds. This speed level makes it the ideal choice for high-speed miniature motors, precision instrument spindles, dental handpieces, and other high-speed miniature devices.
5. Deep Groove Design – Bidirectional Load Capacity, Excellent Versatility
Deep groove ball bearings feature a simple structure, wide versatility, and low friction. This bearing can accommodate radial loads and bidirectional axial loads simultaneously, providing excellent load capacity in miniaturized designs. With a dynamic load rating of 0.403 kN (91 lbf) and static load rating of 0.143 kN (32 lbf) , it meets the load requirements of most miniature applications.
6. Ultra-Lightweight – Only 1.5 Grams
The bearing weighs only 0.0015 kg (1.5 g) . The extremely low rotating mass effectively reduces centrifugal loads and inertia moments at high speeds.
7. P0 Normal Precision (ABEC 1) + CN Radial Clearance – Versatility and Reliability Combined
This bearing features P0 normal precision class (ABEC 1) and CN normal radial internal clearance. Bore tolerance -0.008mm to 0, OD tolerance -0.008mm to 0, width tolerance -0.12mm to 0. This combination ensures reliable operation in the vast majority of general miniature applications, while facilitating easy installation and maintenance.
8. Wide Operating Temperature Range
This bearing operates within a temperature range of -30°C to 120°C, capable of adapting to various demanding environments from cold storage to high-temperature processing.
9. RoHS and REACH Compliant
This bearing is compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental standards, ensuring safe use even in regions with strict environmental regulations.
