This article will discuss the "Bearing in Metric or Inch Series" Thin section Bearings were developed to solve conventional ball bearings' real challenges can’t solve. As the name, thin section bearing implies, the difference between inside and outside diameters of the rings has been minimized or thinned out. The cross-section is typical twice the ball diameter, and nominal dimensions are usually inches. Still, the manufacturer can also make them in a metric format that depends on the customer’s choice. The applications of thin section bearings are most used when space is limited, and the loading and weight have specific limitations.

Depending on customers' requirements, US HGT can make thin section bearing in the Metric or Inch series. Many other thin section manufacturers also make Metric series bearings which, likes Kydon, has their Kydon Metric series.
