The R188 RICH is a precision miniature single row deep groove ball bearing, designed for high-speed operation and low friction in compact assemblies. Manufactured by RICH, this bearing features highly accurate metric dimensions of 6.35 x 12.7 x 3.175 mm.
Deep groove ball bearings are the most commonly used type, capable of handling both radial and light axial loads. The R188 RICH is constructed with a durable pressed steel cage to maintain optimal ball spacing and minimize friction. It is supplied with Normal Clearance (CN), making it suitable for standard operating conditions and moderate interference fits. Its miniature size and lightweight construction (0.002 kg) make it an ideal choice for instrumentation, small motors, and other high-precision equipment where space and weight are critical factors.
