1/16 inch Plastic Bearing Balls 200pcs G2 POM Precision by uxcell

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell 1/16 inch plastic bearing balls are engineered for applications that demand precise motion and long‑lasting reliability. Crafted from high‑performance polyoxymethylene (POM), these miniature spheres combine low friction, excellent wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Each ball meets the G2 accuracy grade, ensuring a tight tolerance that translates into smooth rotation and minimal backlash in mechanical systems. The package includes 200 pieces, each measuring 1.588 mm in diameter, making them ideal for projects that require a large quantity of consistent, high‑quality components.

Usage

These bearing balls excel in a wide range of environments, from indoor hobbyist builds to rugged outdoor equipment. Their corrosion‑resistant POM material means they can be used in humid or dusty settings without the risk of rust or degradation. Typical applications include miniature bearings for model aircraft, drawer slides, gear assemblies, universal ball transfers, and conveyor accessories. They also perform well in agricultural sprayers, 3‑D printer extruders, and robotic joints where smooth, quiet operation is essential.

FAQ

What is the difference between POM and metal bearing balls?

POM balls are lighter, non‑conductive, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for applications where metal could cause wear or electrical interference. While metal balls may handle higher loads, POM provides sufficient strength for most precision mechanisms at a lower cost.

Can these balls be used in high‑temperature environments?

POM maintains its mechanical properties up to about 120 °C (248 °F). For most hobby and industrial uses that stay below this temperature, the balls perform reliably. If temperatures exceed this range, consider a specialized high‑temperature polymer.

How do I install the balls in a bearing housing?

Insert the balls gently into the housing using a small tool or tweezers, ensuring they sit evenly around the raceway. Avoid applying excessive force that could deform the POM material. For best results, clean the housing first to remove any debris.

Are the balls compatible with lubricants?

Yes, POM is compatible with most standard lubricants, including silicone and PTFE‑based oils. Applying a thin layer of lubricant can further reduce friction and extend service life, especially in high‑speed applications.

What is the recommended storage condition?

Store the balls in a dry, temperature‑controlled environment, preferably in their original sealed packaging. This protects them from moisture and dust, preserving their dimensional accuracy until use.
