KA040XP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KA040XP0 is a precision-engineered Four Point Contact thin section ball bearing designed for applications requiring exceptional space efficiency and high load capacity. As part of the Reali-Slim Open Bearings series, this single-row bearing is characterized by its compact cross-section, with a width of only 0.25", enabling lightweight and compact designs. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to simultaneously support significant combined loads, including radial, axial, and moment loads, making it an ideal solution for high-precision, high-reliability systems where space is at a premium.

| 040 | Specifies the nominal bore diameter in inches (4.0"). |
| X | Denotes a cross-section series, defining the relationship between bore, outside diameter, and width. |
| P0 | Specifies the ABEC-1 tolerance class, ensuring standard precision for reliable performance. |
KA040XP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Four Point Contact Design: The raceway geometry allows the bearing to carry combined radial, axial, and moment loads efficiently in a single, compact unit, simplifying assembly and reducing the need for multiple bearing arrangements.
- Thin Section Construction: With a minimal cross-section (0.25" width), this bearing significantly reduces weight and space requirements, which is critical for robotics, aerospace, and medical equipment.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle substantial dynamic and static loads, including an axial static load rating of 3220 lbf and a rated load moment of 1205 ft-lbf.
- Precision & Reliability: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards with a controlled radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance and smooth operation.
- Durable Materials: Constructed from Chrome Steel rings and balls with a Brass cage for strength, corrosion resistance, and operational stability across a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
KA040XP0 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Robotics: Rotary joints, actuators, and manipulator arms where compactness and high moment load capacity are essential.
- Aerospace & Defense: Gimbals, control mechanisms, and sensor platforms requiring lightweight, high-precision components.
- Medical Equipment: CT scanners, surgical robots, and diagnostic instruments demanding smooth, precise motion in a confined space.
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Precision stages and wafer handling equipment.
- Industrial Automation: Rotary tables, indexing heads, and other precision motion control systems.
