Customer demand for a more compact turntable bearing has prompted Kaydon to design its new Custom Reali-Slim TT Series thin section bearings.
They save weight, reduce product design envelope size and increase design flexibility without compromising bearing performance and life.
This new series is now available in the UK from Kaydon's exclusive UK distributor, RA Rodriguez.
These miniature thin-section turntable bearings offer significant advantages over conventional alternatives.
They are significantly smaller allowing greater design versatility.
The smallest bore is 1.5in, the largest 6in and the height only 0.25in.
Yet despite their small size they offer greater accuracy.
The extended radial bearing cross-section increases rigidity and optional preload or clearances meet application torque or deflection requirements.
Designed for fast and convenient installation, these bearings feature stainless steel races and steel-reinforced seals to ensure their suitability for operation in harsh environments.
The Reali-Slim TT Series bearings are a proven, single four-point contact ball design, consisting of a single row of balls with a unique 'gothic arch' raceway and one-piece separators for low frictional torque.
Capable of supporting radial, axial and moment-loads, they are dispatched prelubricated and ready for use.
Installation is fast and easy; the bearing is positioned on the mounting face and tightened down by mounting screws.
Versions are available with optional internal or external spur gear, or in nongeared designs.
The geared versions are 64 diameter pitch with 20 degree pressure angle, AGMA Class 10 and provide low-backlash operation.
The bearings are cleaned and packed in a Class 10,000 clean room; up to Class 100 standards are also available.
Custom configurations are also available.
