What are the applications of thin wall bearings?

Thin-wall bearings, also known as thin-section bearings or slim bearings, are specialized types of ball bearings designed with very thin cross-sections. These bearings are used in various applications where space is limited, and weight reduction is crucial. The thin design allows for reduced friction and enhances the overall performance of the bearing.
