Thin Section Bearings for Automation Equipment

Application

Typical Automation Equipment Applications

Indexing Tables

Compact rotary support for repeated positioning and intermittent indexing cycles.

Rotary Actuators

Space-saving bearings for electric, pneumatic or hydraulic rotary modules.

Assembly Equipment

Stable rotation for fixtures, turntables and automated assembly stations.

Pick-and-Place Systems

Low-friction support for fast rotary axes and compact motion modules.

Inspection & Sorting Systems

Precision rotation for camera platforms, scanning stations and sorting mechanisms.

Requirements

Application Design Requirements

Compact Module Design

Automation equipment often requires a large internal opening and limited external dimensions.

Repeated Positioning Accuracy

Indexing and inspection systems require low runout and repeatable angular positioning.

High Cycle Operation

Frequent start-stop or indexing cycles increase demands on lubrication and fatigue life.

Combined Load Support

Fixtures and tooling may create radial, axial and moment loads.

Easy Mounting

Compact modules benefit from simplified installation and reduced part count.

Types

Recommended Bearing Structures

Deep Groove Thin Section Ball Bearings

Support radial loads and moderate axial loads with low friction and compact cross-section.

Angular Contact Thin Section Ball Bearings

Suitable for combined loads, higher rotational accuracy and axial positioning requirements.

Four-Point Contact Thin Section Ball Bearings

Compact single-bearing solution for radial, axial and tilting moment loads.

Super Duplex Angular Contact Ball Bearings

High rigidity and precision for paired or integrated angular contact arrangements.

Flanged Thin Section Bearings

Simplified mounting and positioning for compact housings and lightweight rotary modules.
