Muskegon, Michigan, USA...Kaydon Corporation Bearings Division supplies stainless steel thin section bearings to the semiconductor, aerospace and defense, medical, and industrial machinery industries. Kaydon stainless bearings are ideal for applications that require a high precision, ultra-clean thin section bearing.

In harsh environments, stainless steel minimizes the surface degradation and particulate formation that can adversely affect performance. Like all Kaydon Reali-Slim® bearings, Kaydon stainless steel bearings have a cross-section that remains constant when the bore size changes, minimizing space requirements and bearing weight.

Design engineers can find technical specifications, drawings, sizes, part numbers, design features, and ordering information on the Kaydon website and in Kaydon's new downloadable stainless steel brochure (Adobe PDF). Finding the right stainless steel bearing for your dimensional requirements is easy thanks to the new Kaydon thin section bearing selector.
