2mm ID Bearings | McMaster-Carr

Smoother than smooth—the balls inside these bearings roll nearly friction-free. You’ll often find them on rapidly rotating parts, from the whirring chuck on a power drill to the spinning shaft on an electric motor.

Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.

Corrosion-Resistant 440C Stainless Steel—Combine the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. These bearings won't degrade from water or mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions. However, they'll weaken when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach.

ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications. If your application consistently runs at high speeds or requires high accuracy, consider bearings rated ABEC 5 or higher, since they generate less friction and heat.

Flanged Ball Bearings

Open

Shielded

Install these bearings inside a housing and they won't budge. The flange presses against the housing wall, so vibration and other sudden forces parallel to the shaft (thrust loads) won't knock them off-kilter.

Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.

Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.

Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

High-Precision Ball Bearings

Open

The most precise bearings we offer, with tolerances tighter than a speck of dust. Rated ABEC 7 out of 9, they meet strict tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). You'll find them in equipment that requires both high speed and pinpoint accuracy, such as gyroscopes.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Our slipperiest metal bearings, these are ideal for machinery with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyors. With nonstick PTFE particles added to the oil, they reduce friction to minimize wear and heat, so equipment runs more efficiently and lasts longer. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

Flanged sleeve bearings combine a sleeve and thrust bearing in one. The flange supports thrust loads and prevents the bearing from being pushed out of place. The sleeve is the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.

Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures.

Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Also known as jig bushings, these metric drill bushings fit inside fixture plate holes to precisely guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. They improve accuracy so that your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part. Known for their versatility, drill bushings are also used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings. These bushings are made of hardened, ground steel that holds its shape and resists wear, so they last for many cycles without needing to be replaced.

All bushings have a chamfer on the outside that centers the bushing as you place it into the hole. Press into place with a manual or hydraulic press. Since the bushing is sized slightly larger than the hole for an extremely tight fit, it’ll stay put permanently. These are ANSI Type PM bushings—also known as headless bushings—which means you don’t need to counterbore the hole to mount them flush.

They also have an internal chamfer that makes it easy to insert bits, pins, and punches without damaging the bushing or misaligning tools.

Don't see the size you need? Additional sizes are available.

Both Ends—Bushings with an internal chamfer on both ends allow you to insert tools no matter which end of the bushing is inserted into the jig. However, having an internal chamfer on the bottom of your bushing may cause shavings to get caught and bind as you remove the bit.

DIN 179—DIN 179 bushings meet dimensional and material standards that make sure they're compatible with other parts and tools. Although DIN 179 is no longer an active standard, it's still a common reference point for designers.

Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings with Head


Shown in Countersunk Hole	Shown in Standard Hole

Even under extreme drilling pressure, these metric bushings won't press through your jig plate. They’re ANSI Type H bushings, also known as headed bushings. A flanged head acts as a stop, so these bushings won’t move as you push down your drill bit, reamer, or other cutting bit. Use them even in jigs made of thin or soft materials—the head adds support to protect your jig from damage caused by heavy use. Drill bushings ensure accurate, consistent cuts and drilled holes from one part to the next. They’re also used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings. Made of hardened, ground steel, these bushings hold their shape and resist wear, so they last for many cycles without needing to be replaced.

These bushings meet DIN 172 dimensional standards. This standard is no longer active, but it’s often used as a reference point for making sure parts are compatible with other parts and tools.

To install, fit the bushing into a hole in your jig. In a standard hole, the head will sit above the jig plate; to mount flush, install in a countersunk hole. A chamfered edge on the bottom of the bushing helps center the bushing in the hole. Once it’s centered, press the bushing into the hole with a hydraulic or lever press.
