Custom Built For You

Thin Section Plastic Ball Bearing

Custom thin section ball bearings

A KMS thin section plastic ball bearing can be custom built for you either by modifying an existing standard bearing or creating a unique design to best suit your application.

Our expertise is the ability to manufacture thin section ball bearings out of engineering polymers. We provide bearing solutions through the use of design, innovation and material selections that best fit the application. This allows engineers the complete freedom to design the bearing around the device rather than designing the device around a standard bearing.

CONCEPT TO MODEL TO MANUFACTURING

IDEA TO REALITY™

KMS Design and Manufacturing Technology will take an idea and turn it into a reality. We will work with you by creating a 3D Model utilizing current internal bearing constructions to rapidly respond to customer needs. Once a design is created, testing samples can be made from either CNC machining, 3D printing and/or prototype molding. This blending of technology allows us to make low or high quantity runs of unique designs, sizes, and materials in a short period of time to meet the demands of a fast-paced global marketplace.
