KC040CP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Ultra-Thin Cross-Section Design: With a width of only 0.375" and optimized cross-section, this bearing provides maximum space savings while maintaining structural integrity, making it perfect for compact machinery designs.
High Load Capacity: Despite its slim profile, the KC040CP0 delivers impressive radial dynamic load rating of 1073 lbf and radial static load rating of 2100 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under substantial radial forces.
Precision Engineering: The ABEC-1 tolerance class guarantees consistent dimensional accuracy and running precision, while the brass cage ensures stable ball guidance and reduced friction at moderate speeds.
Material Excellence: Constructed from chrome steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers superior hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection in standard operating environments.
Optimized Internal Clearance: With a radial internal clearance of 0.0000 – 0.0005 inches, the bearing provides precise fitment and optimal performance in various application conditions.
