To increase rigidity, improve running accuracy and prevent ball-skidding at very high speeds, small radial and angular contact bearings can be supplied preloaded.

Where an application calls for an exceptionally small bearing that offers high performance and reliability, R A Rodriguez can now meet that need with a new range of Kaydon miniature bearings The range has been designed and field-tested with medical, dental, aerospace, laboratory instrumentation and semiconductor manufacturing applications very much in mind

Three basic designs complete the range and each is available in both Imperial and metric sizes - radial single row ball bearings, flanged radial single row ball bearings (both supplied as open or closed types) and angular contact separable ball bearings.

All are available in precision class ABEC 1 - 9 and ISO 0 - 2.

To increase rigidity, improve running accuracy and prevent ball-skidding at very high speeds and during acceleration or deceleration, the radial and angular contact bearings can be supplied preloaded.

The preload options include spring, fixed, back-to-back or face-to-face.

Tandem mounting may also be specified.

The range has been compiled to offer maximum design flexibility and versatility.

A choice can be made from a wide selection of steels, ceramic rolling elements, closures, mounting configurations, cages and lubricants to optimise bearing performance.

All bearing components are manufactured to ensure consistently high quality.

Stringent attention is paid to raceway geometry and finish, retainer design and the overall cleanliness of the manufacturing process to ensure outstanding bearing performance even in extreme service environments.

To enhance quality, bearings are packed and shipped in hermetically, vacuum-sealed synthetic pouches that protect against contamination, humidity, lubricant deterioration and in-transit damage.
