Modern designs rely on a compact design, low weight and miniaturization. This highly engineered bearings, such as the KAYDON REALI-SLIM® thin-section bearings are an ideal solution. Each series of REALI-SLIM® thin-section bearings is based on a single cross-section that remains constant even with increasing bore diameter - that is truly something unique! Thanks to this design novelty, solid shafts can now be replaced with hollow shafts. The interior of the hollow shaft provides space for components such as air or hydraulic lines, electrical wiring or slip rings.
For a large number of applications, a four-point contact REALI-SLIM® thin-section bearing can even replace two bearings. This allows a more compact design and simplifies the installation.
Typical applications for REALI-SLIM® thin-section bearings:
Aircraft and aerospace
Aerospace
Assembly and feeder machines
Food industry
Rotation tables
Packaging technology
