KB180XP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Four Point Contact Design: The unique raceway geometry allows the bearing to support combined radial, axial, and moment loads in a single, compact unit, eliminating the need for multiple bearing arrangements.
Thin Section Construction: With a consistent 0.3125" cross-section regardless of bore size, this bearing enables significant space and weight savings in precision machinery.
High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle substantial static and dynamic loads, including an axial static load rating of 18,590 lbf and a dynamic load moment of 17,694 lbf.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerances with tight dimensional control for smooth operation and accurate positioning in demanding applications.
Premium Materials: Chrome steel rings and balls with a brass cage provide excellent durability and reliable performance across a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
