KB040AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KB040AR0 is a high-precision thin section angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional rigidity and precise motion control. Engineered with a 30° contact angle and single row construction, it is optimized to handle significant combined loads, including high thrust loads in one direction alongside radial loads. Its Reali-Slim open design offers a compact cross-section, maximizing space efficiency in sophisticated machinery where weight and size are critical constraints. Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards, this bearing delivers reliable performance for high-accuracy applications.
KB040AR0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KB | Indicates the manufacturer's series for thin section bearings. |
| 040 | Specifies the bore diameter in inches (4"). |
| A | Denotes the 30° contact angle, which is optimal for handling high axial loads. |
| R0 | Signifies Radial Internal Clearance of 0.0000 – 0.0005", providing precise running accuracy. |
KB040AR0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Load Capacity: The single row angular contact design, combined with a 30° contact angle and a robust brass cage, provides high rigidity and enables the bearing to support substantial combined radial and axial loads (Radial Dynamic: 865 lbf, Axial Static: 2100 lbf).
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerances with a very tight radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures smooth, precise operation and minimal runout, which is critical for high-accuracy systems.
- Space-Saving Design: As part of the Reali-Slim series, it features a thin cross-section (Width: 0.3125"), allowing for compact and lightweight assembly designs without sacrificing performance.
- Durable Material Construction: Components made from chrome steel for both rings and balls offer high wear resistance and durability, suitable for a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
KB040AR0 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Robotics and Automation: Rotary joints, actuator arms, and precision gearing systems.
- Aerospace and Defense: Guidance systems, radar platforms, and actuation mechanisms.
- Medical Equipment: Imaging devices (CT/MRI scanners) and surgical robot joints.
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Wafer handling robots and precision stages.
