KD100CPO Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KD100CPO is a thin-section open ball bearing engineered for applications demanding space optimization without compromising performance. As part of the Reali-Slim Open Bearings series, its single-row design provides a compact cross-section, making it ideal for radial load support in equipment with strict size and weight constraints. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, it ensures reliable operation and consistent performance. The bearing is pre-lubricated for immediate use and features a brass cage for enhanced stability and smooth operation.

KD100CPO Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Thin-Section Design: With a consistent 0.5" width and minimal cross-section, this bearing significantly reduces weight and space requirements while maintaining structural integrity, enabling more compact machinery designs.
- High Load Capacity: The single-row ball bearing construction delivers a radial dynamic load rating of 2847 lbf and a radial static load rating of 7180 lbf, providing reliable performance under substantial radial loads.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards with tight dimensional control (bore and OD tolerance: -0.0014" to 0"), ensuring smooth operation and reduced vibration in precision applications.
- Durable Construction: Components made from chrome steel (rings and balls) with a brass cage offer excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability across the operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The specified radial internal clearance (0.0000" – 0.0005") ensures proper fit and performance under various operating conditions.
KD100CPO Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Robotics and Automation: Rotary joints, manipulator arms, and positioning systems where space and weight are critical factors
