Thin section bearings can be deep groove ball bearings (C), four-point contact bearings (X), angular contact ball bearings (E). The above various designs are provided in different series.
Which design to use depends on the size of the cross section. The ball matches the series. Deep groove ball bearings can support bidirectional axial load and radial load. Four-point contact bearings can support bidirectional axial loads as well as radial loads; therefore, they operate in the same way as double row angular contact ball bearings.
Angular contact ball bearings can match the optimal number of balls and their contact angle is 30°. They support higher radial load than deep groove ball bearings or four-point contact bearings, and can support axial loads originating from the same direction. For special needs, angular contact ball bearings can also be provided as matching bearings. Therefore, the rigidity and load carrying capacity of these combinations are much higher than single bearing products.
Thin section open bearings
This bearing series is based on a single cross section which remains constant as the bore diameter is increased (in sharp contrast to standard bearings, in which the cross section increases as the bore diameter increases). By using the same series of EASIER bearings throughout a product line, the designer can standardize on common components.
Thin section sealed bearings
Sealed bearings offer integral sealed and integral shielded bearings, providing a very compact overall design with the additional advantage of protecting the bearing before, during and after installation.
Stainless steel thin section bearings
stainless steel bearings are used where high precision and corrosion resistance are required. AISI 440C stainless steel thin section bearings minimize the surface degradation and particulate formation so common to harsh environment applications.
Thin section metric bearings
This series products provide compact, lightweight designs for applications requiring metric envelope dimensions or dimensional interchangeability with other products.
Extra thin section bearings
extra thin bearings offer many possibilities where precise positioning and lightweight designs are critical. Precision-engineered Ultra-Slim bearings are made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. These low profile, precision ball bearings are ideal for robotics, inspection equipment, satellites, cameras and similar light and medium duty applications with slow or intermittent rotation.
Thin section turntable bearings
This turntable series are the first small-scale, thin section turntable bearings available for such demanding applications as robotics, radar antennae, and factory positioning and inspection tables. turntable bearings save weight, reduce product design envelope sizes and increase design flexibility.
