MR166ZZ / MR166-2ZC3 / MR166Z Deep Groove Ball Bearings with Metal Shields , 6*16*5mm
MR166Z, MR166ZZ and MR166-2ZC3 belong to the same miniature deep groove ball bearing series with unified mounting dimension 6×16×5mm, distinguished only by sealing structure and internal clearance suffix codes.
- MR166Z: Single side stamped metal dust shield (single Z)
- MR166ZZ: Double sides stamped non-contact metal dust shields (double ZZ), standard CN normal clearance
- MR166-2ZC3: Double metal ZZ shields + upgraded C3 enlarged radial clearance for high-temperature high-speed shafts
Adopt non-contact thin steel shield design with ultra-low rotational friction torque, excellent heat dissipation performance compared with rubber sealed bearings. Mirror superfinished raceway and precision steel balls support stable ultra-high-speed continuous rotation under light radial loads. The C3 clearance variant compensates thermal expansion of miniature motor spindles, avoiding bearing seizure after long-hour operation. Widely used for 3D printer extruder shafts, RC drone micro drive motors, small cooling fans, medical testing instruments, model aircraft and miniature automation transmission assemblies.

- Three model variants share identical 6×16×5mm installation size, only differ in shield quantity and clearance grade, meet different dust-proof and high-speed heat expansion demands in one product series.
- Non-contact metal ZZ dust shield structure creates tiny gap between shield and inner ring, greatly reduce rotation friction loss, guarantee superior heat dissipation for long-time high-speed micro motor operation.
- Upgraded MR166-2ZC3 C3 enlarged clearance design offsets thermal expansion of tiny high-speed spindles, effectively eliminate bearing locking and rotation lag caused by temperature rise.
- Ultra-smooth mirror superfinished inner/outer raceway and precision steel ball surface cut vibration and noise drastically, maintain silent stable running for precision testing instruments and RC model equipment.
- Lightweight thin-wall miniature structure occupies minimal installation space, ideal for compact narrow-shaft micro equipment with strict volume limits.
- Stable quenching & tempering heat treatment for GCr15 steel provides outstanding anti-fatigue performance, withstand frequent start-stop alternating light loads of miniature motors.
- Support customized clearance grade, high-speed low-viscosity special grease, OEM laser marking and neutral vacuum anti-rust packaging for global miniature machinery spare parts distributors.

They share the same 6×16×5mm mounting dimensions and can be installed mutually, but dust-proof capacity and internal clearance differ; select matched model according to working speed and environment dust level.
CN standard clearance fits low/medium speed normal temperature equipment; C3 enlarged clearance is reserved for continuous high-speed spindles to compensate thermal expansion and prevent seizure.
Continuous high-frequency buzzing noise at high RPM, miniature shaft obvious shaking, slow rotation and jamming after long running, metal dust leaking out from shield gap.
