Miniature Ball Bearings by myonic
Premium precision miniature ball bearings for medical, vacuum, food,
aerospace, and high-speed technology applications.
So everything runs smoothly
Premium precision myonic miniature ball bearings are used in numerous industrial sectors including medical, vacuum, food, aerospace, and high-speed technology.
With many years of experience in the development and manufacture of ball bearings, we can offer the most suitable bearing type and design for every application, even under extreme boundary conditions, and provide expert technical support for system integration.
Three Types of Miniature Ball Bearings
Choose the optimal bearing type based on load direction and application requirements
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Primarily designed to carry radial loads perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Widely used in medical, vacuum, food, aerospace, and high-speed technology applications. The standard catalog provides complete specification data, and cleanroom assembly and system development services are also available.
Angular Contact Ball Bearings
Capable of carrying both radial and axial loads simultaneously. The balls run at a defined contact angle in the raceways, enabling the bearing to absorb axial forces. Meeting the highest demands for accuracy, maximum permissible speed, and service life, available with steel or ceramic balls, achieving at least ISO P4 (ABEC 7) accuracy up to myonic GYRO quality.
Thrust Ball Bearings
Unlike radial deep groove ball bearings, thrust bearings (also known as axial deep groove ball bearings) are specifically designed to carry axial forces along the axis of rotation. With outer diameters from 5 to 50 mm, available in various configurations from high-quality cage designs to full complement bearings (cageless, for maximum load capacity).
Typical Application Areas

Complete Accessories Range
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Even the finest ball bearings cannot function properly if the mounting conditions are poorly designed. High-speed miniature ball bearings in particular must be effectively protected against overloading or excessive clearance.
myonic offers a complete range of matching accessories to ensure optimal installation.
- Shims — Precise axial clearance control
- Wave spring washers — Providing preload
- Snap rings — Axial retention
- Bushings — Housing fit adjustment
Breaking the One Million RPM Barrier
myonic, together with motor manufacturer ATE System from Leutkirch and researchers from ETH Zurich, broke through the magical barrier of one million revolutions per minute.
The system generates 100 watts of drive power in a package barely larger than a matchbox. The ball bearings were optimized for maximum speed, and the rotor structure features a titanium sleeve to withstand extreme centrifugal forces. This milestone opened a completely new dimension in rotational speed development.
