As well as their compact design, the ability of Kaydon Reali-Slim bearings to withstand high temperatures, their vacuum and chemical compatibility and low particulate generation make them the ideal choice for semiconductor manufacturing. Such is the popularity of these thin section bearings in this sector that Kaydon has now produced a dedicated brochure. This publication and indeed the entire Reali-Slim range are available in the UK from factory representatives, R. A. Rodriguez.
The brochure covers the three basic configurations, 'C' type for pure radial loads, 'A' for radial and thrust loading and 'X' for any combination or radial, thrust and moment loading on a single bearing. All bearings can be customised to minimise torque, outgassing, contamination, corrosion and wear. The wide selection of ball, race and cage materials that help optimise bearing life and performance are also detailed.
An application worksheet is included in the publication for designers to complete for a free customised engineering review and bearing recommendation. Other free engineering aids are also listed in the catalogue and include the company
