Thin Section Beraings - The High Precision Bearings
Since you all know thin section bearings are the family of bearings designed from a limited number of thicknesses and width (cross-sections). Different cross-sections are manufactured with different bore diameters. They are usually made with a combination of 52100 chrome steel and 440C stainless steel. They can also be coated with plates of dense chrome. Thin section bearings are particularly designed for applications where the top-most importance is given to space limitations. The difference between the inside and outside diameters of the rings has been thinned out or minimized. Thin section bearings help in reducing the overall cost of the system by giving more priority to design efficiency rather than bearing sizes. The width and thickness change proportionately, however, the bore size increases no matter what. Following are the numerical series of thin section bearings: SR series: The dimensional series with bore sizes range from 3/8 to 1-5/8. 6700 series: Metric ...
