shop/ prototyping/ carbon steel shielded miniature bearing -

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts. The purest form of bearing, the plain bearing, consists of a shaft rotating in a hole. Lubrication is viable to reduce friction.

This bearing uses carbon chromium steel. It has an inner diameter of 3mm and an outside diameter of 6mm.

This bearing could be used in small prototypes, like support on a servo arm, to make the arm movements smoother.
