Metric Bearing Series Thin Wall Bearings

. Thin-Wall Design:

• Slim Profile: Metric thin-wall bearings have a reduced cross-sectional thickness compared to standard bearings. This design enables them to occupy less space axially and radially.
• Lightweight Construction: The thin-walled structure contributes to the lightweight nature of these bearings, making them ideal for applications where minimizing weight is essential.

. Construction:

• Inner and Outer Rings: Like standard bearings, metric thin-wall bearings consist of inner and outer rings. The inner ring is mounted on the shaft, while the outer ring is stationary.
• Balls: Bearings contain a set of balls that facilitate smooth rolling between the inner and outer rings.
• Sealing: Depending on the specific design, metric thin-wall bearings may include seals or shields to protect against contaminants, enhancing durability and performance.

. Applications:

• Space-Constrained Environments: Metric thin-wall bearings are suitable for applications where space is limited, such as in compact machinery, robotics, and precision equipment.
• Reduced Weight Requirements: Industries such as aerospace and automotive may use these bearings to achieve weight savings without compromising performance.

. Performance Characteristics:

• Radial Load Capacity: Metric thin-wall bearings are primarily designed to handle radial loads, which are forces acting perpendicular to the shaft.
• Limited Axial Load Capacity: While they can accommodate some axial loads, their primary strength lies in radial load support.

. Standardization:

• Metric Sizing: These bearings adhere to metric size standards, ensuring compatibility with other metric components and facilitating easy replacement.

. Variations and Series:

• Diverse Offerings: Manufacturers produce metric thin-wall bearings in various series and configurations to meet specific application requirements.
• Customization: Some manufacturers offer customization options to tailor the bearings to the unique needs of different industries and applications.

. Maintenance and Lubrication:

• Sealed Options: Certain metric thin-wall bearings come with built-in seals or shields, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and providing protection against contaminants.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication is crucial for ensuring smooth operation and extending the bearing’s lifespan.
