KA042XP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KA042XP0 is a thin section four-point contact ball bearing engineered for applications requiring compact design and high load capacity within minimal cross-sections. This single row bearing is specifically designed to handle combined radial and axial loads simultaneously from any direction, making it an ideal solution for precision positioning systems and robotic applications where space constraints and weight reduction are critical factors.
KA042XP0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KA042 | Bearing series designation for thin section four-point contact bearings |
| X | Cross section designation (specific to thin section bearing geometry) |
| P0 | Normal precision grade (equivalent to ABEC-1 tolerance class) |
KA042XP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Four-Point Contact Design: The unique raceway geometry enables the bearing to support combined loads efficiently while maintaining minimal cross-section dimensions. This design provides exceptional moment load capacity with dynamic load moment rating of 1321 lbf and static load moment rating of 3070 lbf.
Thin Section Construction: With a consistent 0.25" cross-section and large 4.25" bore diameter, this bearing maximizes available space while minimizing weight (0.2 lbs), making it perfect for lightweight applications.
Premium Material Composition: Constructed with chrome steel rings and chrome steel balls for durability, combined with a brass cage that ensures stable operation and extended service life.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight dimensional control (bore and OD tolerance: -0.0008" to 0") for reliable performance in precision applications.
KA042XP0 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Robotics and Automation: Robot joints, rotary actuators, and positioning systems
- Aerospace and Defense: Guidance systems, radar platforms, and satellite mechanisms
- Medical Equipment: CT scanners, MRI machines, and surgical robotics
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Wafer handling equipment and precision stages
