• Light Weight Thin
  Thin section bearings offer a significant weight savings compared to “Light” and “Extra Light” series bearings.
  
• Compact Design
  The compact, space saving design allows you to engineer rotating devices that are smaller, simpler and lighter.
  
• Precision Tolerances
  Thin section bearings are manufactured in a range of precision classes for optimal precision and design flexibility.

• High Temperature Ratings
  These bearings are suitable for processing temperatures up to 250°F with full capacity - special materials are available for higher temperature applications.
  
• Vacuum Capability
  If your SME application involves operations that take place in a vacuum environment, we can provide specifications on our standard bearing materials to determine outgassing characteristics. Special materials and processing are available to meet specific vacuum requirements.
  
• Chemical Capability
  We can recommend special materials, protective surface treatments, or special processing for semiconductor processing environments where bearings may be exposed to corrosive chemicals (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.).

• Special Surface Treatments
  We offer a variety of special surface treatments to meet a wide range of processing conditions and environments.

***When ordering, please add suffix ARO for Type A, CPO for Type C and XPO for Type X.
