Standard Kaydon Reali-Slim bearings are listed in the Kaydon bearing size chart. They are manufactured to Kaydon Precision Class 1 and the specifications on the table below.
Kaydon Reali-Slim bearings can be optimized for your special requirements. Standard commercial options include: changes in diametral clearance, preloading, lubricants, packaging, etching of high points, tagging bearings with actual dimensions as requested, separators, duplexing, data sheets, acceptance testing, etc. Kaydon Reali-Slim bearings also can be ordered with non-standard materials, sizes, tolerances, specifications, and features as well as custom packaging and lubrication options.
How to order Kaydon Reali-Slim bearings?
it's by bearing numbers, please refer to Kaydon open, sealed bearing part number nomenclature.
