What Are Thin Section Bearings?
Thin section bearings are precision-engineered bearings with a narrow cross-section and lightweight design. They are ideal for applications where space, weight, and performance are critical. These bearings maintain high rigidity and smooth rotation even in compact, high-speed systems.
Types of Thin Section Bearings
Radial Contact Bearings: Designed primarily for radial loads, offering low friction and high-speed capability in tight spaces.
Angular Contact Bearings: Support both radial and axial loads, ideal for applications requiring precise shaft positioning.
Four-Point Contact Bearings: Handle combined loads in both directions with a single bearing, used for compact designs and slewing applications.
Applications
Thin section bearings are widely used in industries requiring compact, lightweight, and high-precision components:
Aerospace and satellite systems
Robotics and automation arms
Medical imaging equipment (e.g., CT and MRI machines)
Semiconductor manufacturing tools
Military and defense systems
