KC100XP6L Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KC100XP6L is a high-precision Four Point Contact Ball Bearing from the Reali-Slim Open Bearings series, designed for applications demanding exceptional space efficiency and high load capacity. This thin section bearing features a single-row design with a Four Point Contact raceway, enabling it to support combined radial, axial, and moment loads simultaneously. Manufactured to ABEC 7F tolerance standards, it delivers superior running accuracy and is ideal for high-reliability, compact machinery where precision and high rigidity are paramount.

KC100XP6L Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Four Point Contact Design: The unique raceway geometry allows a single bearing to withstand substantial combined loads, including radial loads up to 2364 lbf (dynamic) and axial loads up to 3930 lbf (dynamic), while also handling a significant load moment (9 ft-lbf rated). This eliminates the need for complex multi-bearing arrangements.
- High Precision & Rigidity: Built to ABEC 7F tolerances with a minimal radial internal clearance (0.0000 – 0.0005"), this bearing ensures smooth, precise rotation and high system stiffness, which is critical for accurate positioning and repeatability.
- Thin-Section Construction: With a compact cross-section of only 0.375", it provides a large diameter in a minimal space, enabling lightweight and compact machine designs without sacrificing performance.
- Durable Material Composition: The use of Chrome Steel for rings and balls, combined with a Brass cage, ensures long service life, excellent wear resistance, and reliable operation within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
