Novolager — Confidence, Engineered.

APPLICATION FIRST

Thin section bearings.
Configured for the mission.

Precision ball bearing solutions shaped around your loads, space constraints and operating environment.

Thin section ball bearings of different diameters

Why consider a thin section bearing?

Thin section bearings offer a compact cross section relative to their diameter. They can support precision motion designs where packaging, weight and available space are central considerations. The right selection still depends on load capacity, stiffness, accuracy and operating conditions.

Bearing configurations

Radial, angular contact and four-point contact ball bearings. Duplex and superduplex arrangements, inch and metric sizes, custom configurations and higher level assemblies.

Ring & ball materials

Ring options include 52100, 440C, 17-4 PH, 15-5 PH and Inconel. Ball options include 52100, 440C, ceramics, TiC and other specialty materials.

Retainers & lubrication

Brass, stainless steel, phenolic and PEEK retainers; snapover, circular pocket, toroids/slugs and full complement configurations. Greases, oils and solid lubricants are evaluated around the application.

Custom bearing solutions

Review geometry, materials, coatings, preload and lubrication together. Options include thin dense chrome and specialty coatings, and lubricants for vacuum, space and food-compatible applications.

Material and configuration suitability depend on your application and require engineering review.
