Magneto Bearing

About Magneto Bearing

A magneto bearing is a precision, single-row deep-groove ball bearing designed to handle light radial loads and moderate axial loads in one direction. Characterized by its split inner ring, it allows easy mounting when alignment is difficult or when components must be assembled around a shaft. Magneto bearings typically use thin-section races and high-quality steel balls to minimize friction and rotational resistance. They are commonly used in small motors, instruments, gyroscopes, and light aircraft magnetoshence the name. Their low torque, smooth operation, and compact design make them ideal for high-speed, low-load applications requiring consistent, reliable performance.
