Thin-Section Bearings
Thin-section bearings are large-bore rolling bearings with a small, often constant cross-section across a size series. Their slender rings reduce package space and rotating mass while providing controlled motion for robotics, optical equipment and other assemblies where conventional bearing envelopes are too bulky.
