Thin Section

Thin section bearings are ideal for situations requiring low torque and a small footprint. Used in aerospace and defense, machine tool, robotics, medical device, satellite equipment industries, these bearings offer the compact size and accuracy these fields require. 

Angular contact bearing

Angular contact bearings provide greater thrust capacity than a radial contact or four-point contact bearing. Their counterbored outer race gives angular contact bearings unidirectional thrust capacity. To establish and maintain the contact angle, and to support reversing thrust loads, mount this bearing opposed to another bearing.

Four-point contact sealed bearing

Standard bearing lines handle either radial or axial loads. The gothic arch geometry of the inner and outer races of the Kaydon Reali-SlimĀ® four-point contact bearing line enables a single bearing to carry three types of loading (radial, axial, and moment) simultaneously. This makes it the bearing of choice for many applications since a single four-point contact bearing can often replace two bearings, providing a simplified design.

Four-point contact sealed bearing

The radial contact bearing is a single-row radial ball-bearing of conventional design with a Conrad-type assembly. This type of bearing specializes in carrying radial loads, but can accept an axial load if configured differently.
