KB160XP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KB160XP0 is a high-precision thin section bearing designed for applications requiring exceptional space efficiency and load capacity. As a Four Point Contact ball bearing with single row construction, it delivers outstanding performance in compact designs where radial space is limited. This bearing is engineered to simultaneously handle combined loads including radial, axial, and moment loads, making it ideal for precision machinery requiring high rigidity and accurate rotational performance. Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards, it ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

KB160XP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Four Point Contact Design: The unique raceway geometry enables the bearing to support radial loads, axial loads in both directions, and moment loads simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple bearing arrangements.
Thin Section Construction: With a consistent cross-section of 0.3125" width and minimal radial space requirement, this bearing enables compact machinery design while maintaining high load capacity.
Premium Material Selection: Chrome steel rings and balls combined with brass cage construction ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and stable operation across the temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
High Load Capacity: The optimized design delivers exceptional dynamic load ratings (2410 lbf radial, 4190 lbf axial) and static load ratings (6620 lbf radial, 16560 lbf axial) for its compact dimensions.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards with tight dimensional controls (-0.0016" to 0" bore/OD tolerance) ensures smooth operation and precise positioning.
