KB120AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KB120AR0 is a thin-section angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding high precision and space optimization. As part of the Reali-Slim Open Bearings series, this single-row bearing excels in handling combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, thanks to its specified 30° contact angle. Its inch-dimension design, featuring a large 12-inch bore within an ultra-slim 0.3125-inch cross-section, provides a high load capacity in a compact envelope. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, it is an ideal solution for high-rigidity, moderate-speed applications requiring reliable performance.
KB120AR0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KB120 | Denotes the specific bearing series and size (12" bore). |
| A | Indicates a 30° contact angle, optimized for carrying significant axial loads. |
| R0 | Specifies an Open (unsealed) construction, allowing for custom lubrication schemes or operation in clean environments. |
KB120AR0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The single-row angular contact design, combined with a brass cage and chrome steel rings and balls, provides high stiffness. It offers a radial dynamic load rating of 1623 lbf and a substantial axial static load rating of 4240 lbf, making it capable of handling demanding combined loads.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards with a tight radial internal clearance (0.0000 – 0.0005"), this bearing ensures smooth, precise rotation and minimal runout, which is critical for accurate positioning.
- Space-Saving Design: As a thin-section bearing, it maximizes the available design space by providing a large bore diameter relative to its minimal cross-section, ideal for compact, weight-sensitive assemblies.
- Versatile Operation: The open design and chrome steel construction allow for operation within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C, suitable for a wide array of industrial environments.
