Thin Section Ball Bearings are designed for applications where space limitations are critical.As the name suggests, these bearings have a minimized sectional height, meaning the difference between the inner and outer diameters is reduced to save space.This design allows for compact and lightweight assemblies, though it results in lower load capacities compared to standard bearings.Despite this, thin section bearings can still support light radial, thrust, or combined loads.The 6838-2RS is a metric thin section ball bearing with a bore diameter of 190 mm, an outer diameter of 240 mm, and a width of 24 mm.It features double rubber seals (2RS) that help retain lubrication and protect against.The bearing is made from 52100 steel and is pre-greased for operational readiness.It has a standard ABEC-1 rating and comes with C0 internal clearance.This model belongs to the 6800 series, which is suitable for limited space applications with light loads.The small section contributes to low running torque, enhancing efficiency in rotational applications.Thin section bearings like the 6838-2RS offer flexibility in mounting and are available in various sealing options, including shielded, open, and sealed variants.Common applications include , robotics, aerospace systems, medical devices, and instrumentation where minimal space and low weight are essential.
