KF042AR0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KF042AR0 is a high-precision thin section angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional rigidity and accurate rotational performance. This single row bearing excels in handling combined loads, efficiently supporting significant radial and axial loads simultaneously due to its specified 30° contact angle. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision standards, it is ideal for compact, high-reliability systems where space and weight are critical constraints, as evidenced by its slim 0.75" cross-section.
KF042AR0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KF | Kaydon® Reali-Slim® bearing series prefix |
| 042 | Bore diameter code for 4.25" |
| A | Indicates a 30° contact angle |
| R | Specifies a brass cage (retainer) |
| 0 | Open (non-shielded/non-sealed) construction |
KF042AR0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The angular contact design and single row construction with a 30° contact angle provide superior resistance to combined loads, offering a high axial static load rating of 8630 lbf and a radial dynamic load rating of 3805 lbf.
- Precision Engineering: Built to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight bore and OD tolerances, ensuring smooth, accurate operation essential for precision applications.
- Optimized Component Materials: The use of a brass cage promotes stability at moderate speeds, while chrome steel rings and balls ensure high durability and long service life.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: As part of the Reali-Slim series, it provides a large diameter in a thin cross-section (0.75" width), minimizing system weight and envelope size without sacrificing performance.
KF042AR0 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Robotics and automation arms (for precision joint movement)
- Aerospace control mechanisms and gyroscopes
- Medical Equipment such as MRI and CT scanners
