KA040XP1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KA040XP1 is a high-performance thin section bearing engineered for applications demanding compact design and high precision. As a Four Point Contact ball bearing, it excels at simultaneously handling combined loads—significant radial, axial, and moment loads—within an extremely slim cross-section. Its inch series sizing (4" bore) and ABEC 1 precision make it an ideal, cost-effective solution for space-constrained, high-rigidity systems requiring reliable operation.
KA040XP1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| KA | Reali-Slim® Open Bearing Series | Denotes the thin-section, open construction family |
| 040 | Bore Diameter: 4 inch | Standard inch sizing for compatibility |
| X | Four Point Contact Design | Enables support for combined radial, axial, and moment loads |
| P | ABEC 1 Precision | Provides standard precision for smooth, reliable operation |
| 1 | Light Preload / Specific Internal Clearance | Optimizes bearing rigidity and reduces deflection under load |
KA040XP1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Four Point Contact & High Rigidity: The unique raceway design allows a single bearing row to support substantial radial, axial, and moment loads simultaneously, providing high system rigidity and simplifying assembly by replacing more complex bearing arrangements.
- Superior Load Capacity: With a radial dynamic load rating of 756 lbf and a static load moment rating of 2740 ft-lbf, this bearing is built to handle demanding combined load scenarios in compact spaces.
- Thin-Section Design: The extremely slim 0.25" width and 4.5" OD maximize space efficiency and reduce the overall weight (0.19 lbs) of the machinery, which is critical in robotics and aerospace.
- Premium Materials & Construction: Manufactured from Chrome Steel rings and balls with a Brass cage, the bearing ensures durability, smooth operation, and extended service life under standard operating conditions.
KA040XP1 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Robotics: Rotary joints, robot arms, and gimbal systems where compact design and moment load capacity are critical.
- Aerospace & Defense: Actuation systems, radar platforms, and guidance systems requiring lightweight and high-precision components.
- Medical Equipment: Imaging devices (CT/MRI scanners) and surgical robots that demand smooth motion and high reliability.
- Industrial Automation: Rotary tables, indexing heads, and precision gearboxes where combined loads are present within limited spaces.
