KC180CP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KC180CP0 is a high-precision thin section bearing designed for applications demanding compact design and reliable performance. As a single row ball bearing with an open construction, it excels in handling radial loads efficiently. Its inch-series dimensions, featuring a large 18-inch bore with a remarkably slim 0.375-inch cross-section, make it an ideal solution for space-constrained, high-precision machinery. Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards, this bearing ensures consistent operation and is pre-lubricated for immediate use, offering a robust combination of high rigidity and lightweight design.
KC180CP0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KC | Indicates the Reali-Slim® open bearing series from Kaydon. |
| 180 | Specifies the bore diameter in inches (18.0"). |
| C | Denotes the cross-section size; "C" corresponds to a 3/8" (0.375") width. |
| P | Specifies the bearing's tolerance class, here indicating ABEC-1 precision. |
| 0 | Likely indicates a standard radial internal clearance. |
KC180CP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Thin-Section Design: The slim width of 0.375" enables significant weight and space savings in complex assemblies, contributing to overall system efficiency.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered with a radial dynamic load rating of 2478 lbf and a radial static load rating of 8840 lbf, it provides reliable support in demanding applications.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerances with tight dimensional control on bore, outside diameter, and width, ensuring smooth, predictable performance and ease of installation.
- Durable Material Construction: The use of Chrome Steel for rings and balls, combined with a Brass cage, offers excellent wear resistance and operational stability.
- Optimized for Performance: The specified radial internal clearance and pre-lubrication are tailored for optimal operation within its designated temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
