Thinex & Torque Tube

Thinex and torque tube bearings differ from other bearings because they distribute loads over a greater number of small diameter balls, which decreases starting and running torque. Thinex and torque tube bearings provide low friction and high accuracy. They come in radial and angular contact designs and are available as duplex preloaded matched sets. These bearings are ideal for applications that demand small, lightweight components, like aircraft accessories, missile guidance equipment, computers, business machines, robotics, and medical devices.  

Alpine carries Thinex and torque tube bearings in many sizes from the high-quality brands, myonic, NHBB, NMB, and RBC.

Open phenolic crown cage bearing

Thinex and Torque Tube bearings are available in radial and angular contact designs and distribute the load over a greater number of small diameter balls for lower starting and running torque. These are used where instrument ball bearings require low friction and high accuracy. All Thinex and Torque Tube bearings can be supplied as duplex preloaded matched sets. Thinex series bearings are for applications where space is at a premium and shaft location is primary compared to load support. Bearings up to 6″ OD are available. Applications include aircraft accessories, missile guidance equipment, computers, business machines, robotics and medical devices.
