BC manufactures many custom bearings designed to optimize bearing performance for specific applica-tions. Special features include changes in radial play, lubri- cants, materials, preloading and design. Contact your RBC Sales Engineer for your custom bearing needs. > Challenge us: There are many design options availableto solve difficult application problems. The radial play (diametral clearance) of a thin sectionball bearing will need to be predetermined if mounting fits other than those recommended are used. Special radial play may be required for a temperature differential across the bearing,...

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.
