Thin Section four point contact Ball Bearings

Thin section four point contact ball bearings are mainly used to withstand radial loads,but when the radial clearance of the bearing is increased,they have a certain degree of angular contact bearing performance and can withstand combined radial and axial loads. When the speed is high and thrust bearings are not suitable,they can also be used to withstand pure axial loads. Compared with other types of bearings of the same size,this type of bearing has a small coefficient of friction and a high limit speed. But it is not resistant to impact and is not suitable for bearing heavy loads. Thin Section bearings can meet highly demanding and specific requirements. They are often used in applications such as aerospace,medical systems,robotics,astronomy instrumentation and machine tools. Our design efficiency can lead to significant savings in space,weight and cost over standard dimensioned bearings.

The core of thin-section bearings lies in their constant thin-section design. Unlike ordinary bearings, their cross-sectional thickness does not increase with the enlargement of the bore diameter, thus achieving a high level of compactness in space-constrained applications. Their working principle is based on rolling elements operating between precision-manufactured inner and outer ring raceways, which effectively reduces friction while supporting radial loads, axial loads, and moment loads. Thanks to precision manufacturing, such bearings feature low friction, high precision, and smooth operation characteristics, making them ideal for high-speed and precision applications. To ensure performance and service life, appropriate lubrication is required. The bearing materials are usually stainless steel or high-carbon chromium steel to balance strength and corrosion resistance. Moreover, configurations can be selected according to the application environment: open type, dust-proof type, or sealed type. Therefore, relying on their lightweight and thin advantages, thin-section bearings are widely used in aerospace, robotics, medical equipment, and precision instruments.
