UNASIS thin-section bearings for optical applications can be found in a wide range of optical applications within the movie industry, and have been used to film airborne, battlefield, and underwater shots via optical tracking and target designators in the latest blockbuster movies. Our bearings are also used in the medical and defence industry including in laser rangefinders and designators. UNASIS’ expert engineers can deliver precision internal preload values that can be supported to achieve superbly accurate torque and stiffness requirements.
UNASIS bearings for optics have a large bore with a uniquely thin cross section, allowing super smooth movement alongside absolute precision from small spaces. The size of the bore allows designers to thread cables through bearing centres, saving valued space and aids in delivering lighter, smaller and compact designs. Optical bearings can be made using ceramic, steel, or hybrid bearings. At UNASIS we can help you decide what material will best suit your requirements to provide the best possible performance.
