Thin Section Bearings for Lightweight Equipment

Application

Typical Lightweight Equipment Applications

Portable Inspection Equipment

Compact rotary support for mobile inspection cameras, scanners and sensor platforms.

Mobile Robot Modules

Low-mass support for sensor turrets, steering modules and compact rotary axes.

Lightweight Gimbals

Precision support for cameras, optical sensors and stabilized payloads.

Compact Instruments

Space-saving bearings for measurement, laboratory and portable devices.

Low-Mass Rotary Actuators

Large-bore compact bearings for integrated motors, cables and lightweight drive modules.

Requirements

Application Design Requirements

Weight Reduction

Low rotating mass improves portability, acceleration and energy efficiency.

Limited Installation Space

Compact devices require a large bore with a small external envelope.

Low Friction & Efficient Motion

Small actuators benefit from consistent low torque and reduced power consumption.

Adequate Rigidity

Weight reduction must not compromise positioning stability or moment support.

Simple Integration

Flanged or custom mounting structures can reduce component count.

Types

Recommended Bearing Structures

Deep Groove Thin Section Ball Bearings

Support radial loads and moderate axial loads with low friction and compact cross-section.

Angular Contact Thin Section Ball Bearings

Suitable for combined loads, higher rotational accuracy and axial positioning requirements.

Four-Point Contact Thin Section Ball Bearings

Compact single-bearing solution for radial, axial and tilting moment loads.

Super Duplex Angular Contact Ball Bearings
