Thin Section Ball Bearings were developed for applications where space limitations are of the utmost importance. As the name implies, the difference between the inside and outside diameters of the rings has been minimized or thinned out. Of course this comes at a price by compromising load capacities. However, these bearings can still accommodate a relatively light radial thrust or combined loads.we apply engineering experience and expertise to solve the world's most unique bearing challenges. The Kaydon Reali-Slim® inch-standard bearing is one of the most widely used thin section bearings in the world. Kaydon thin bearing solutions save weight, create space, reduce friction, increase design flexibility, and provide excellent running accuracy.Kaydon bearings are available in the industry's largest variety of materials, separator options, cross sections, internal fit up choices, lubricants, corrosion resistance options, contact angles, and precision levels.
