Thin Section Ball Bearing
Thin-section deep groove ball bearings are engineered for applications where space, weight and rotational efficiency are critical. The 617 and 618 Series feature a slim cross‑section that allows for compact assemblies without compromising smooth running, stability or speed capability.
These bearings are ideal for:
- Ultra‑compact mechanisms
- High‑speed rotation
- Low‑friction, low‑noise performance
- Lightweight assemblies
- Precision engineering environments
Available in Open, ZZ (shielded) and 2RS (sealed) options, they provide reliable performance for robotics, automation, small motors, instrumentation and specialist machinery where standard 6000 or 6200 series bearings are too wide or heavy.
