Catalog 306 Reali-Slim Mounting Guide

• An Illustrated Mounting Guide

• For direct shaftless motor drives a single 4-point contact bearing provides the required combination of radial, thrust, and moment loads.................

• How to use Reali-Slim® bearings for more design flexibility. A large bore, small cross-section Reali-Slim® bearing permits the use of a large diameter hollow shaft in place of a smaller solid shaft. ........................

• Weight savings by a factor of 17:1. The 5-1/2" bore Reali-Slim® bearing used in this design weighs only 0.25 pounds compared to a weight of 4.5 pounds for the standard 5-1/2" bore bearings which had been considered for the job. Housing weight of the design was also reduced...................

• For precise motion control in robots and other automation equipment, 4-point Reali-Slim® bearings are ideal for multi-axis articulating designs...................

• One bearing does the work of three. Save weight, space, and cost by replacing the three-bearing set of angular contact “Type A” bearings with a single four-point contact “Type X” bearing. The “Type X” bearing handles thrust load, radial load, and overturning moment load simultaneously...................

• Pre-loaded 4-point contact Reali-Slim® bearings provide required stiffness for variable speeds and loads...................

• Bearings of different cross-sections complement one another. This design shows an adjustable back-to-back mounting of 14" and 18" bore bearings....................

• Design shows integral bearing assembly which includes SPIROLOX® retaining rings and external seals.....................

• For designing a product that will be manufactured in various sizes based on shaft diameter, Reali-Slim® bearings are ideal. Each bearing series has a cross- section which remains constant throughout all designs. So your bearing envelope stays the same for all product sizes......................

• Complete bearing assemblies can simplify your manufacturing Kaydon also provides complete bearing assemblies like the one shown. Options include internal or external gears, no gear, and contact seals.......................

• Slip rings are engineered into a bearing assembly where electrical or RF signals must be transmitted through a rotating member. Many bearing-slip ring assemblies also provide internal clearance for air and hydraulic lines to pass through a hollow shaft........................

• Pre-loaded Reali-Slim® bearings provide precision movement and low noise levels at high speed.........................
