Thin Section Angular Contact Ball Bearings – Lightweight, High Precision Bearings for Industrial Applications

Overview of Thin Section Angular Contact Ball Bearings

Thin section angular contact ball bearings are designed to provide high precision, light weight, and excellent load capacity in compact spaces. These bearings are ideal for applications that require high rigidity, low friction torque, and high rotational accuracy. Their design features small, high hardness steel balls and a thin cross-sectional area, ensuring efficient performance while reducing the overall weight of the machinery. The use of hollow shafts further contributes to minimizing the weight and providing additional space for wiring in various devices.

Thin section angular contact ball bearings are available in different designs, including open, sealed, and thin-section types, to meet the specific needs of different applications.

Types of Thin Section Angular Contact Ball Bearings

1. Open Thin Section Angular Contact Ball Bearing
   These bearings are not sealed, making them suitable for environments where lubrication can be managed or where contamination is not a concern.

2. Sealed Thin Section Angular Contact Ball Bearing
   These bearings come with seals to protect against contaminants, making them ideal for harsher operating conditions.

3. Thin Section Bearing
   This refers to the broader category of thin-section bearings, which includes angular contact ball bearings among others.

Features of Thin Section Angular Contact Ball Bearings

1. Reduced Vibration and Noise
   Thin section angular contact ball bearings minimize vibration and noise during operation, contributing to smoother machinery performance and improved working environments.

2. Low Friction and Smooth Operation
   These bearings form a transfer film during operation that helps protect the grinding shaft and reduces friction, preventing the common issue of "biting."

3. Compatibility with Non-Modulated Shafts
   Thin-section angular contact bearings can be used with shafts that have not undergone special modulation, which simplifies the manufacturing process.

4. Compact and Lightweight Structure
   These bearings have a thin-walled design that significantly reduces the size and weight of the machinery, making them ideal for applications with space constraints.

5. Minimal Lubrication Requirements
   Thin section bearings can operate with no lubrication or low lubrication, making them suitable for applications where regular oil refilling is difficult or not possible.

6. Durability and Long Service Life
   These bearings offer excellent wear resistance and a low friction coefficient, which extends their service life and reduces the frequency of replacements.

7. Reduced Static Friction for High Accuracy
   Thin section angular contact ball bearings have similar static friction coefficients, which eliminates crawling at low speeds and ensures consistent precision in machinery.

Installation Methods for Thin Section Angular Contact Bearings

1. Back to Back (DB):
   Two bearings are mounted with their back sides facing each other. This arrangement provides high rigidity and helps manage both axial and radial loads.

2. Face to Face (DF):
   Bearings are installed with their faces facing each other. This configuration allows for effective handling of axial loads in both directions.

3. Tandem (DT):
   Bearings are mounted in tandem to handle heavy axial loads in a single direction.
