MR Miniature Ball Bearings: Metric Sizes from 1 to 8 mm Bore

MR bearings are metric miniature deep groove ball bearings. They have a thinner section than the 6xx miniature sizes with the same bore, so they fit small motors and instruments where space is very tight.

Typical applications: small motors, instruments, galvo scanners, robot vacuum brushes, 3D printers, gimbals and models.

Same 5 mm bore, six outside diameters

At a 5 mm bore the MR series gives four thin envelopes. The 69x and 62x sizes with the same bore are larger. The cross-section height is (D − d) / 2.

How MR bearing numbers are built

Number or suffixMeaningExample
MR + D + dMR, then the outside diameter, then the bore, in millimetres.MR105 = 5 × 10 × 4
XThe bore is not a whole millimetre.MR41X = 1.2 × 4 × 1.8
MR5-2.5Decimal bores are written after a hyphen.MR5-2.5 = 2.5 × 5 × 1.5
BA width variant of the same bore and OD. Check B in the table.MR52 = 2 × 5 × 2.5, MR52B = 2 × 5 × 2

MR miniature bearing size charts

Each row is one size. Open, shielded and sealed versions that share the size are listed together and link to their model pages, where load ratings and drawings are given. Dimensions are in millimetres.

Bore 1 to 2.5 mm

Bore 3 to 4 mm

Bore 5 to 8 mm

Dimensions are the same as on each model page. In several sizes the shielded version is wider than the open one, so it is listed in its own row. Flanged MF bearings and inch R bearings have their own pages.

Design checks for miniature bearings

Custom MR bearings

We make MR bearings in chrome or stainless steel, with steel or ceramic balls, in open, ZZ or 2RS versions. Send the size, closure, clearance, grease, speed and quantity. Non-catalog miniature sizes can be made to drawing after a feasibility check.

Frequently asked questions

What does MR105 mean?

MR105 is a metric miniature bearing with a 10 mm outside diameter and a 5 mm bore. Its width is 4 mm.

What is the difference between MR105 and 695?

Both have a 5 mm bore. A 695 has a 13 mm outside diameter, so it has a thicker section and carries more load. An MR105 needs less radial space.

Should I choose ZZ or 2RS for a miniature bearing?

ZZ metal shields run with low friction. 2RS rubber seals give better protection where dust and moisture are the main risk.

Are MR bearings the same as R bearings?

No. MR bearings are metric. R bearings are inch sizes, for example R2 = 1/8 × 3/8 inch. They are not interchangeable.
