KD050AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KD050AR0 is a high-precision thin section angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional rigidity and accurate rotational performance within a compact envelope. Engineered with a 30° contact angle, this single-row bearing is optimized to support combined loads, handling significant radial and axial loads simultaneously. Its inch-series dimensions (5" bore, 6" O.D., 0.5" width) and ABEC-1 precision make it an ideal component for high-reliability systems where space and weight are critical constraints. The bearing comes pre-lubricated for immediate operation.
KD050AR0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KD | Manufacturer's series prefix for thin-section bearings. |
| 050 | Indicates the nominal bore diameter in inches (5 inches). |
| A | Signifies the 30° contact angle, optimized for combined load capacity. |
| R | Denotes Reali-Slim open bearing construction. |
| 0 | Specifies the open (non-shielded/non-sealed) design, allowing for custom lubrication schemes. |
KD050AR0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The single-row design with a 30° contact angle and robust chrome steel construction provides high rigidity, enabling the bearing to handle substantial combined loads (Radial Dynamic: 2040 lbf, Axial Static: 4870 lbf).
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (0.0000 – 0.0005"), ensuring smooth, precise, and low-vibration operation.
- Optimized Cage Design: The brass cage ensures stable ball guidance, contributing to reliable performance at moderate to high speeds.
- Space-Saving & Lightweight: As part of the Reali-Slim series, it offers a large bore relative to its cross-section, saving critical space and weight (0.98 lbs) in compact machinery.
