Thin-Section Ball Bearings are designed for applications where space is limited, helping to meet challenging specifications commonly in high tech applications. The makeup of the thin section bearing helps to contribute saved space, saved weight, great running accuracy, and design flexibility. These bearings are designed from a limited number of widths and thicknesses/cross-sections. Each cross-section produced in a vast range of bore diameters. The cross-section remains the same as the bore diameter increases. Thin section bearings have super-finished raceways which provide a smooth surface finish that helps to reduce friction. The bearings also have a high quality ball component to ensure a smooth rolling performance. Thin section bearings are used in medical equipment, robotics, construction equipment, food processing, and textile machinery.
