Thin-wall bearings are used in equipment or components where there is insufficient space to accommodate thick-wall bearings. They are also essential in applications requiring tri-metal bearings, where the use of thin-wall configurations is necessary. These bearings feature a distinct mechanical design compared to thick-wall bearings, and their manufacturing process involves critical considerations that require specialized knowledge in the design and production of this specific bearing type.
Thin-wall bearings are referred to as thin-wall bearings due to their small wall thickness, characterized by a low ratio of inner to outer diameter. Their reduced thickness results in lower weight, making them suitable for use in space-constrained applications.
