Semiconductor Manufacturing
Kaydon offers solutions for the application of precision bearings in silicon chip manufacturing processes. From robotics to mechanical polishing machines to lithography equipment, Kaydon Reali-Slim® thin section bearings provide space-saving designs for smaller, lighter, and simpler rotating devices.
Kaydon Reali-Slim® bearings can be customized to maintain the highest operational precision and performance while reducing friction, resisting contamination, and preventing corrosion. Special materials and lubricants allow operation at temperatures above 250°C, in vacuums ranging from 10-8 to 10-12 Torr, or in corrosive chemical environments. Hybrid (ceramic rolling elements) bearing designs can optimize torque characteristics and extend service life.
