Lightweight KAYDON® Thin Section Bearings are ideal for applications requiring thin profiles in aviation, aerospace, robotics, machine tools, semiconductor equipment manufacturing, or medical equipment. KAYDON REALI-SLIM® thin section bearings are available from stock or can be modified for harsh or corrosive environments. Bore sizes range from 1" to 40" or 20 mm to 360 mm and cross sections from 3/16" to 1". We have sales and engineering offices located globally.

KAYDON® Thin Section Bearings are available in inch or metric sizes, as REALI-SLIM® Thin Section Bearings open, sealed thin section bearings, stainless steel thin section bearings, or extra light thin section bearings in our ULTRA-SLIM® thin section bearings series. KAYDON thin section bearings provide 3.5 times the life of imitators' bearings.

Turntable Bearings, or slewing ring bearings are a KAYDON® specialty. Typical applications include swing bearings (slewing rings) for cranes, excavators, aerial work platforms, gun turrets, radar pedestals, forestry equipment, surveillance equipment, scanner equipment, or material handling equipment. KAYDON® offers light- to medium-duty turntable bearings or heavy-duty turntable bearings for even greater load-handling capabilities.

KAYDON® offers REALI-SLIM® Turntable Bearings in the new REALI-SLIM TT® Series, the first thin-section turntable bearings for demanding robotics, radar antennae, factory positioning, or inspection table applications.

KAYDON® designs and manufactures Custom Designed Bearings, large or small, having taken on manufacturing of custom bearings for critical applications and meeting demanding specifications since our inception in 1941, when the U.S. Navy asked us to meet its pressing need for large precision gun-mount bearings. Building on this tradition, we have continued to lead the way in developing custom-designed bearings for military and commercial applications. If your requirement is for harsh environment thin section bearings or hybrid thin section bearings, KAYDON® offers both standard and custom bearing options. KAYDON® manufactures large slewing ring bearings in both standard or custom configurations up to 150 inches outside diameter.
