Kaydon bearings are available in the industry's largest variety of materials, separator options, lubricants, corrosion resistance options and precision levels. Applications often benefitting from thin section bearings include: Robotics Medical systems & devices Optical scanning systems Instrumentation Radar and communications equipment Fixturing equipment Industrial positioners Our most popular product ranges are described below:

Reali-Slim® thin section open bearings The SKF Kaydon Reali-Slim® bearings series is based on a single cross section which remains constant as the bore diameter is increased (in sharp contrast to standard bearings, in which the cross section increases as the bore diameter increases). By using the same series of Reali-Slim® bearings throughout a product line, the designer can standardize on common components.     Reali-Slim® thin section sealed bearings SKF Kaydon Reali-Slim® sealed bearings offer integral sealed and integral shielded bearings, providing a very compact overall design with the additional advantage of protecting the bearing before, during and after installation.     Endurakote®-plated Endura-Slim® bearings SKF Kaydon's proprietary Endurakote® hard chromium plating protects bearings from corrosion and provides substantial life improvements in hostile environments, achieving the corrosion resistance normally found only in stainless steel bearings, but at a lower cost. This is particularly beneficial for large diameter bearings or where quick delivery is critical.     Ultra-Slim® extra thin section bearings SKF Kaydon Ultra-Slim® extra thin bearings offer many possibilities where precise positioning and lightweight designs are critical. Precision-engineered Ultra-Slim® bearings are made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. These low profile, precision ball bearings are ideal for robotics, inspection equipment, satellites, cameras and similar light and medium duty applications with slow or intermittent rotation.
