Bearing applications guide
Kaydon Bearings offers innovative solutions for demanding design requirements, emphasizing quality, performance, and real-world experience. They provide a wide range of bearing configurations, standard and custom designs, and comprehensive technical support.
Thin Section Bearings
Reali-Slim® thin section bearings are designed to save space and weight, maintaining a constant cross-section as bore diameter increases. They are available in various styles, including radial, angular, and 4-point contact, with options for customization such as preload and precision class upgrades.
Slewing Ring Bearings
These bearings are designed for heavy load transmission and rotation, available in diameters up to 26.25 feet. They include 4-point and 8-point contact ball bearings, cross-roller bearings, and 3-row roller bearings, each offering specific advantages in load capacity and stiffness.
Other Bearings
Kaydon also offers KT tapered roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings, providing high radial load capacity and space-saving advantages.
Applications
Kaydon bearings are used in various sectors, including aerospace, defense, industrial machinery, transportation, medical systems, renewable energy, semiconductors, oil and gas, entertainment, heavy equipment, steel, forestry, mining, and marine industries.
