6802 2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing: Reliable Precision for OEM and Wholesale
Sourcing the right miniature bearing can make or break a production run. The 6802 2RS stands out in tight applications where space is limited and reliability matters. We've handled thousands of orders for this size—15mm ID, 24mm OD, 5mm width—with double rubber seals keeping contaminants out under real-world stress.
At YIDI Motion, our Hebei factory turns out these bearings with tolerances that meet ABEC-3 standards, using chrome steel that's been heat-treated for durability. Importers from the US to Japan rely on us for consistent quality without the markup from branded suppliers. Whether you're building RC drones, precision motors, or small appliances, this bearing delivers smooth rotation at speeds up to 30,000 RPM.
I've been in bearing exports for over a decade, and buyers often ask about the "2RS" designation. Those double lip seals aren't just marketing—they trap grease inside and block dust effectively, extending service life in dusty workshops or outdoor gear. Compare that to open bearings, and you're looking at 2-3x longer intervals between replacements.
Our production line pulls from Japanese grinding tech for mirror finishes on raceways. That means less vibration, quieter operation. Procurement teams tell us it cuts noise complaints in end-user products by noticeable margins.

Deep Dive: Engineering Behind the 6802 2RS
Start with the basics. The 6802 2RS is a single-row deep groove ball bearing. Metric sizing: inner diameter 15mm, outer 24mm, thickness 5mm. The "2RS" means two contact rubber seals on both sides. These aren't flimsy—they're nitrile rubber, good for temperatures from -30°C to 110°C.
Material choice is GCr15 chrome steel, standard for high-load mini bearings. We anneal and temper it to hit 60-65 HRC hardness. Balls are grade 10, separated by a steel retainer stamped for cost efficiency. No fancy cages here; reliability trumps flash.
Load ratings? Dynamic C=2.95 kN, static Co=1.37 kN. That's solid for its size—handles radial loads in spinning applications without galling. We've tested batches at 25,000 RPM continuously; seals hold grease, no spalling after 500 hours.
One thing buyers miss: preload sensitivity. In precision setups like spindles, a light preload via nut adjustment prevents skidding. Overdo it, and friction spikes heat. Our techs recommend 5-10 microns for most fits.
Common Headaches with Miniature Bearings—and How 6802 2RS Fixes Them
Procurement managers deal with inconsistent suppliers daily. Cheap 6802 2RS knockoffs from unverified sources arrive with uneven seals or soft steel that pits under load. We've seen returns skyrocket when buyers chase rock-bottom pricing.
Dust ingress kills bearings fast. Open types demand frequent repacking; shielded ones leak grease. The double 2RS seals on ours? Lab tests show 95% less contaminant entry versus singles. Real ops confirm it.
Vibration in high-speed apps. Poor raceway finishes amplify harmonics, leading to early fatigue. Our German-imported grinders hit Ra 0.08 microns—smooth enough for quiet RC motors.
- Short lead times beat stockouts during peaks.
- OEM marking options for your branding.
- Batch traceability via laser etching.
Where 6802 2RS Shines in Real Projects
Mini size opens doors. RC hobbyists love it for drone rotors—lightweight, spins forever on lithium grease. We've shipped pallets to US drone assemblers; they report 20% longer flight times versus bigger bearings.
Industrial side: stepper motors in CNC routers. Fits tight housings, handles axial misalignment okay. Appliance makers drop it into fans or pumps—quiet, no wobble.
Skateboard trucks? Surprisingly common. Pros swap in 6802 2RS for smoother grinds. Medical devices too—low torque startup in handheld tools.
One importer shared: "Switched to your 6802 2RS for our electric skateboards. Noise down, warranty claims halved."

Smart Buyer's Guide for 6802 2RS
Don't just grab the cheapest. Check seal flushness—gaps mean early failure. Ask for radial play specs: 8-15 microns ideal. Reputable suppliers like us provide CMM reports on request.
Volume matters. Under 500? Spot buy. Over? Negotiate MOQ tiers. We drop to $0.80/unit at 10k+. Factor in duties—US importers use HTS 8482.10.5012.
- Verify factory certs: ISO 9001 minimum.
- Request samples: Test in your rig.
- Audit lead times: Ours 7-15 days.
- Confirm packaging: Vacuum bags prevent rust.
Risk? Currency swings. Lock in USD quotes with us.
