the hitech solution ideal for a wide range of applications c b thin section bearings are used when bearing weight or size needs to be kept to a minimum they are used in robotics inspection equipment medical radial devices and semiconductor li lo radial d manufacturing equipment the aerospace and defense markets also often use these bearings in aircraft flight control systems helicopter rotor swash plates missiles and other navigational guidance systems d thin section at a glance · large number of small diameter balls for greater stiffness less deflection · less weight and space compared to heavier standard section parts · as size grows cross-section increases up to 1/2 at 11.000 od · conforms to roundness of shafts or housings in a thin section bearing nhbb can achieve bore-to-cross section ratios as high as 20:1 · distributing the load over a greater number of small diameter balls contributes to lower starting and running torque thin section vs traditional ball bearings thin section 3 od standard radial 3 od thin section 44 balls 1/8 2 standard radial 12 balls 3/8
