Thin Section Ball Bearing

As a leading manufacturer founded in 2006, Shaoxing Shangyu Flight Seiko Machinery Co., Ltd. (FTM) leverages over 30 years of deep technical design expertise to deliver high-quality bearing solutions. Our Thin Section Ball Bearings are engineered for modern applications where space, weight, and precision are paramount, establishing FTM as a trusted partner for import substitution and non-standard bearing customization.

Product Overview & Key Features

FTM's Thin Section Ball Bearings are designed with an exceptionally small, constant cross-section across a range of bore sizes, offering a unique blend of benefits:

• Space & Weight Reduction: The minimal cross-section significantly reduces the required installation space and overall assembly weight, enabling sleek, compact, and lightweight designs crucial for modern automation.
• High Running Accuracy: Featuring super-finished raceways and high-quality ball components, our bearings ensure extremely smooth rotation, minimizing friction and vibration. This is vital for achieving the high precision required in demanding applications.
• Design Flexibility: Their slim profile often allows for the use of larger diameter shafts or even hollow shafts, providing valuable space for components like wiring, slip rings, or pneumatic lines.
• Load Versatility: Depending on the specific series (e.g., Radial Contact (Type C), Angular Contact (Type A), or Four-Point Contact (Type X)), our thin section bearings are capable of handling combined radial, axial, and moment loads effectively.

Expanded Applications: Where Precision Matters Most

The lightweight and high-precision characteristics make FTM's thin section bearings indispensable in various cutting-edge industries, including but not limited to:

• Robotics & Automation: Critical components in robot arms, robot speed reducers, harmonic drives, and RV gearboxes, facilitating precise and efficient joint movement.
• Aerospace & Instrumentation: Used in astronomy instrumentation, satellite systems, and optical equipment where weight saving and high reliability are non-negotiable.
• High-End Manufacturing: Integrated into machine tools, textile machinery, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to ensure smooth and accurate operation.
• Automotive: Applied in components like automobile drive gears and other precision systems.

Thin Section Ball Bearing: 5 Essential FAQs

Q: What are the three primary types of Thin Section Ball Bearings?
A: Radial Contact (Type C) for radial loads, Angular Contact (Type A) for high thrust loads, and Four-Point Contact (Type X) for moment and reversing loads.

Q: How does FTM ensure high running accuracy?
A: By using super-finished raceways, selecting high-quality ball complements, and maintaining strict precision tolerances throughout manufacturing.

Q: Are these bearings only for low-speed applications?
A: No. While their design is compact, FTM's precision bearings are engineered for highly flexible performance and are suitable for applications requiring high running speeds where appropriate.

Q: What is FTM's "import substitution" capability?
A: It means FTM manufactures high-precision bearings that meet or exceed the quality and performance standards of major international brands, providing a reliable, cost-effective alternative.

Q: Can FTM customize bearings for unique environments (e.g., high temp/vacuum)?
A: Yes. We specialize in customization, adjusting materials, lubricants (e.g., vacuum grease), and configurations to meet specific environmental and performance requirements.
