Radar Antenna Drive An RBC Thin Section Ball bearing designed with a gear integrated with the inner ring, achieved both a significant weight reduction and improved accuracy as well as sim- plicity of assembly. This bearing is used in a radar antenna drive which has limited space available for its support bearing. Coil springs were used as spacers between balls to lower bearing torque and further reduce weight.

.500 in.26.750 in.27.750 in. Aircraft Gun Turret Abearing was required which would take radial, axial, and moment loading, to support an aircraft gun turret. It was desirable to have the bearing match the coefficient of expansion of the aluminum with a split inner ring and special balls to absorb shock and vibration loading. This bearing performed at 25% of the torque of the steel bearings previously used. Instrument Gimbal Assembly Apreloaded duplex pair of angular contact RBC Thin Section Ball Bearings were designed to meet the low torque and corrosion resistant requirements in a combined load applica- tion.Designed for an instrument gimbal assembly in a missile, the duplex pair of bearings are subjected to combined radial, axial and moment loads. These special RBC Thin Section Ball Bearings have a light preload and were manufac- turedwith integral shields as part of the rings. Vacuum Operation Bearing requirements included minimal radial runout, low torque, corrosion resistance, combined load capabilities and vacuum operation capabilities. Special designed duplex stainless steel angular contact RBC Thin Section Ball Bearings, provided the capabilities required. Semiconductor Automated Test equipment
Integral Shields.500 in.4.996 in.5.500 in. Semiconductor automated test equipment required an RBC Thin Section Ball Bearing to accurately position a table. In this application the bearing oscillates to ±10°, this bearing was designed as a 4-point contact bearing.

Airborne Turret Azimuth Alow torque, high stiffness, multiple load capacity, corrosion resistant bearing was required for an airborne turret azimuth drive assembly. For this application a duplexed pair of angular contact RBC Thin Section Ball Bearings was designed with toroid separators and stainless steel rings. This design maintained low torque, but still allowed multiple load carrying capabilities. 42
