Equal Section Thin Section Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings Type X

Product Overview

LYDL Equal Section Thin Section Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings, also known as Type X thin section bearings, are precision thin section bearings designed for compact rotary systems requiring combined load capacity in a limited installation space. This series features a constant cross-section structure. As the bore diameter increases, the bearing cross section remains nearly constant within the same series. This design helps reduce equipment weight, save radial installation space, and simplify compact rotary mechanisms. The key advantage of Type X four-point contact thin section bearings is their ability to support radial load, axial load in both directions, and moment load in a single bearing position. Compared with radial contact thin section bearings, Type X bearings offer stronger combined load capability. Compared with angular contact thin section bearings, Type X bearings can often reduce the need for a matched pair when the application requires bidirectional axial load support in a compact structure. LYDL Type X thin section bearings are widely used in robotics, precision rotary tables, radar antennas, optical systems, aerospace mechanisms, medical equipment, semiconductor machinery, rotary encoders, measuring instruments, inspection systems, and automation equipment. LYDL manufactures compatible equal section thin section four-point contact ball bearings according to customer drawings, samples, application requirements, and interchange part numbers. Custom options are available for material, precision grade, clearance, preload, lubrication, cage type, packaging, and special working conditions.

Structural Features

Constant Cross-Section Design

The main feature of this series is the equal section structure. Within the same bearing series, the cross section remains nearly constant while the bore diameter increases. This allows engineers to design large hollow shafts, lightweight rotary platforms, and compact mechanical structures without significantly increasing bearing size or weight.

Four-Point Contact Raceway Structure

Type X thin section bearings use a four-point contact raceway structure. The raceway geometry allows the bearing to contact the balls at four points under load, enabling one bearing to support radial load, axial load in both directions, and moment load under suitable operating conditions.

Combined Load Capacity in One Bearing

Unlike radial contact bearings, which are mainly designed for radial loads, and angular contact bearings, which mainly support axial load in one direction, four-point contact bearings are designed for combined load applications. This makes Type X bearings suitable for compact mechanisms where using two bearings is not practical.

Space-Saving Bearing Arrangement

In many designs, a Type X bearing can help simplify the bearing arrangement by reducing the need for paired angular contact bearings. This can save installation space, reduce component quantity, and simplify assembly structure.

Lightweight and Compact

The thin section design helps reduce equipment weight and save radial space. This makes Type X bearings especially useful in aerospace mechanisms, optical systems, radar antennas, medical equipment, and robotic joints where weight and space are important design factors.

Smooth Rotation and Controlled Clearance

With precision raceway grinding, high-quality balls, and controlled internal clearance or preload, LYDL Type X thin section bearings can provide smooth rotation, stable running performance, and reliable positioning accuracy.

Custom Manufacturing Options

LYDL can customize Type X thin section bearings according to drawings or application requirements, including dimensions, material, cage type, lubrication, precision grade, clearance, preload, packaging, and special marking.

Difference Between Type X, Type C, and Type A Thin Section Bearings

Typical Applications

LYDL equal section thin section four-point contact ball bearings are suitable for compact rotary systems requiring combined load capacity, lightweight structure, and reliable rotational performance. Typical applications include: Robotics and robot joints Precision rotary tables Radar and antenna systems Optical tracking systems Aerospace mechanisms Medical imaging equipment Semiconductor equipment Rotary encoders Measuring instruments Inspection equipment Precision gimbals Automation machinery Lightweight rotary platforms Positioning systems Compact slewing mechanisms Defense and industrial rotary systems For applications where radial load, axial load in both directions, and moment load must be supported in a compact bearing position, Type X four-point contact thin section bearings are often a practical choice.

Selection Guide

Selecting the correct Type X thin section bearing depends on load direction, moment load, installation space, rigidity requirement, speed, precision grade, clearance or preload, lubrication method, and operating environment.

Choose Type X for Combined Loads

Type X four-point contact thin section bearings are recommended when the application requires one bearing to support radial load, axial load in both directions, and moment load. This is especially useful in compact rotary mechanisms where two bearings cannot be installed.

Choose Type C for Mainly Radial Loads

If the application mainly carries radial load and requires low friction torque and smooth rotation, radial contact Type C thin section bearings may be more suitable than Type X bearings.

Choose Type A for High Axial Stiffness and Matched Pair Mounting

If the application requires controlled preload, high axial stiffness, or a paired bearing arrangement, angular contact Type A thin section bearings are usually recommended. Type A bearings are especially suitable when two bearings can be mounted as a matched pair.

Check Moment Load Requirements

For robot joints, radar antennas, optical platforms, and rotary tables, moment load is often an important factor. Type X bearings can support moment load in compact structures, but the final model should be selected according to load value, bearing size, speed, and required life.

Consider Clearance and Preload

Clearance and preload affect bearing stiffness, friction torque, temperature rise, and service life. For precision positioning applications, light preload may improve rigidity. For higher speed or low-torque applications, suitable clearance should be selected carefully.

Consider Speed and Lubrication

For high-speed operation, lubrication, cage design, internal clearance, preload, installation accuracy, and heat dissipation should be checked. Excessive preload may increase friction torque and operating temperature.

Confirm Precision Grade

For general automation applications, standard precision may be sufficient. For robotics, optical systems, radar antennas, measuring equipment, and precision rotary tables, P5 or P4 accuracy can be selected according to the required running accuracy.

Provide Application Data for Accurate Selection

To recommend the correct Type X bearing model, please provide the bearing model or drawing, bore diameter, outside diameter, width, radial load, axial load, moment load, speed, precision grade, clearance or preload requirement, lubrication method, and working environment.
