As the name suggest, thin section bearings are bearings where the space between the inside and outside rings has been reduced. Thin section ball bearings were developed for applications in which space is limited. These include bearings for instrumentation, robotics, medical, aerospace and optical equipment.
Alongside minimal space, thin section bearings can offer a solution when weight reduction is required. This is particularly advantageous for applications that require high levels of precision and accuracy.
