A thin section ball bearing is a single row bearing with a cage that evenly spaces the balls for even load distribution and prevents contact to reduce friction, vibrations, and noise. Thin section bearings are commonly made with inner and outer races made of chrome steel for durability and resistance to deformity under heavy loads.Thin Section Ball. Timken’s precision thin section bearing line offers high accuracy and low profile design in standard stainless steel or chrome steel configurations.

This line includes deep groove and angular contact configurations with special features available to meet specific application requirements.

Precision thin-section ball bearings are also very different in the performance of the bearings. In order to obtain low friction torque, high rigidity and excellent rotation accuracy of the bearings, the outer diameter of the steel balls is smaller than other types of bearings.
