It is a specific sort of bearing having walls that are relatively thin in relation to its diameter. These bearings are frequently used in applications where it is necessary to minimise weight and maximise space. The thin-walled design offers a smaller size and weight with the same amount of support and decreased friction.
Thin-walled bearings can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminium, and others. Thin-walled bearings are frequently used in lightweight machinery and equipment such as aircraft, robotics, and medical devices. When weight and storage capacity are key factors, they are also used in cars, power tools, and other portable equipment. Although these bearings typically have a shorter lifespan than normal bearings, they are ideal for applications where size and weight are the main considerations.
