Thin-section bearings

Space-saving thin-section bearings – precision, lightweight design, and high performance for tight installation spaces.

HQW Precision · Thin-section bearings

For high-performance applications where space and weight are important: thin-section bearings enable smooth rotation, reduced friction and high positioning accuracy in a much smaller space than conventional ball bearings.

Precision and quality

Customers can rely on exceptional quality and precision. Precision tolerances conform to ISO P5 (ABEC5) standards as standard, while tolerances of ISO P4 (ABEC7) can be met if required. With world-leading systems and processes, our facilities are fully ISO 9001 certified.

Size range & variants

Thin-section bearings are available in different series, so bearings with a larger cross-section and high load capacity can be selected without having to increase the shaft diameter. Various series are available, with sizes ranging from 2 mm bore diameter to 180 mm outside diameter, both as deep-groove and angular-contact ball bearings.

Special requirements

Custom bearings are available to meet application-specific requirements. Special design features such as flanges and housings, special materials and components are possible. Different versions are available for low torques or high load capacities.

Reduce failures, maintenance and downtime.

Let us check together whether ceramic or hybrid solutions can lower your operating costs — with individual advice instead of a datasheet overload.
