Thin Section Ball Bearings
Compact Bearings for Space-Constrained and High-Precision Applications
General Information
We offer a specialized selection of thin section ball bearings, available in both original and compatible formats from leading global brands such as SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, and INA. These bearings are engineered to minimize weight and envelope size while maintaining performance in applications where space, mass, or rotational inertia are critical factors.
Thin section bearings are characterized by their constant cross-section design across a range of bore sizes, which simplifies engineering and improves interchangeability. Available in multiple types—including radial contact (C-type), angular contact (A-type), and four-point contact (X-type)—they provide flexibility to handle radial, axial, or combined loads within a compact footprint.
These precision bearings are ideal for advanced mechanical systems such as robotics, aerospace mechanisms, medical devices, optical assemblies, and semiconductor equipment. We supply models with open or sealed configurations, various contact angles, and materials such as stainless steel or hybrid ceramic to suit specialized environments.
