KB140CP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KB140CP0 is a thin section bearing from the Reali-Slim Open Bearings series, designed in inch dimensions for applications demanding compact, lightweight solutions without compromising strength. This single row ball bearing is engineered to handle primarily radial loads efficiently within a constrained cross-section. Its open construction allows for versatile lubrication options and easy integration into precision assemblies. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, it offers reliable performance and is ideal for space-sensitive, high-accuracy mechanical systems requiring consistent operation.
Model Code Deep Explanation
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KB | Series designation for Kaydon® Reali-Slim thin section bearings |
| 140 | Bore diameter in inches (14.0") |
| C | Cross-section size designation (specific to thin section series) |
| P0 | Indicates standard radial internal clearance and open (unsealed) design |
KB140CP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Thin Section Design: With a minimal cross-section of only 0.3125" width, this bearing enables compact machinery design and significant weight reduction (1.05 lbs) while maintaining structural integrity.
- Premium Material Construction: Features chrome steel rings and balls with a brass cage for enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and stable operation under radial dynamic loads up to 1680 lbf.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight dimensional controls (bore/OD tolerance: -0.0016"–0") ensuring smooth running and precise positioning in applications.
- Versatile Lubrication Compatibility: The open seal type allows for custom lubrication strategies, supporting operation across a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: Standard radial internal clearance (0.0000–0.0005") provides consistent performance with minimal friction in precision assemblies.
