• Light Weight
  Thin section bearings offer a significant weight savings compared to “Light” and “Extra Light” series bearings.
• Compact Design

  The compact, space saving design of thin section bearings allows you 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

  With a wide selection of materials and lubricants available, the bearings are suitable for processing temperatures up to 250°F with full capacity, and special materials for higher temperature applications.
• Vacuum Compatibility

  If your SME application involves operations that take place in a vacuum environment, we’ll be happy to provide specifications on our standard bearing materials to determine outgassing characteristics. Special materials and processing are available to meet specific vacuum requirements.
• Chemical Compatibility

  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.
