Thin Section Bearings

Thin Section Bearings


Thin-section bearings are suitable for the rotary mechanisms in modern machinery which require a compact, simple and lightweight design due to the characteristics of small size, light weight and low friction. Thin-section bearings are widely used in aerospace, precision machine tools, work turntable, radar communications, industrial robots, semiconductor processing equipment, medical equipment and other fields and can significantly reduce equipment weight, reduce equipment friction and provide good rotation accuracy.

Introduction:
Our thin-section bearing diameter are from 1 inch to 40 inches-basis. Mainly divided into three types:
1, radial contact (L type)
2, angular contact (M type)
3, four-point contact (N type)
These series are made of bearing steel and stainless steel.

Features:
In contrast to standard bearings, the cross-sectional dimensions in each series are designed to be fixed values. The cross-sectional dimensions are constant in the same series but do not increase with internal dimensions. Therefore, the series of thin-section bearings is also known as the same section thin-section bearings. By using the same series of thin-section bearings, the designer can standardize the same common parts. Thin-section bearings with large cross-sections can be replaced by hollow shafts with large diameters instead of small-diameter solid shafts  such as air, water, and wire, which can be provided by hollow shafts to make the design simple. Thin-section bearings can save space, reduce weight, significantly reduce friction, and provide good rotation accuracy. The use of thin-section bearings can reduce the external dimensions and reduce production costs without compromising bearing performance and service life.

 

KNC thin-section bearings are available in seven open series and five sealed series with bore diameters from 1 inch to 40 inches and cross-sectional dimensions in the range of 0.1875 x 0.1875 inches to 1.000 x 1.000 inches. There are three open bearings: radial contact, angular contact, four-point contact. Sealed bearings are divided into: radial contact and four-point contact.
