KC040XP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KC040XP0 is a thin-section four-point contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring compact design and high load capacity in minimal space. This inch-series bearing features a 4" bore and a remarkably slim 0.375" cross-section, enabling lightweight and space-efficient machinery designs. Its four-point contact construction allows it to support combined radial, axial, and moment loads simultaneously, making it an ideal solution for precision rotary systems demanding high rigidity and accuracy.

KC040XP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Four-Point Contact Design: The optimized raceway geometry enables the bearing to handle combined loads efficiently, supporting radial loads up to 1417 lbf (dynamic) and axial loads up to 2210 lbf (dynamic), while accommodating significant moment loads (2326 lbf dynamic).
Thin-Section Construction: With a consistent 0.375" cross-section regardless of bore size, this bearing enables compact machinery design and reduces overall system weight (only 0.45 lbs).
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight dimensional control, ensuring smooth operation and precise positioning in demanding applications.
Premium Materials: Constructed with chrome steel rings and balls for durability, combined with a brass cage for stable operation and reliable performance.
