A thin section ball bearing is a single row bearing with a cage that evenly spaces the balls for even load distribution and prevents contact to reduce friction, vibrations, and noise. Thin section bearings are commonly made with inner and outer races made of chrome steel for durability and resistance to deformity under heavy loads. Thin section bearing Leading the mechatronics era, N Series Thin Section Bearings facilitate the compact design of industrial robots and medical, audio-visual and office automation equipment.Low frictional and irregular torque ensure highly efficient power transmission and smooth rotating performance.

Thin section bearings are used in instrumentation, robotics, aerospace, medical equipment, cameras and optical equipment. They are chosen for an application where space is at a premium or weight reduction is required. Thin section bearings have low rotational torque and high rotational accuracy.
