KG160CK0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The KG160CK0 is a thin-section open bearing from the Reali-Slim series, engineered for applications demanding space and weight savings without compromising performance. This single-row ball bearing is designed to handle radial loads efficiently. Its open design allows for custom lubrication schemes and facilitates easy maintenance. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, it ensures reliable operation in precision assemblies. The bearing's construction from high-grade chrome steel and its optimized thin cross-section make it an ideal choice for compact, high-performance mechanisms.
KG160CK0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| KG160 | Indicates the specific bearing series and size designation within the Reali-Slim open bearing family. |
| C | Specifies the radial internal clearance group. |
| K | Denotes a tapered bore (if applicable based on series convention; confirm with manufacturer datasheet). |
| 0 | Typically represents a contact angle or a specific design variant. For this open bearing, it confirms the standard open design without seals or shields. |
KG160CK0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Thin-Section Design: The bearing features a minimal cross-section (1" width with 16" bore), enabling significant weight reduction and space savings in complex assemblies, a critical advantage in aerospace and robotics.
- High Load Capacity: Despite its slim profile, it offers a substantial radial dynamic load rating of 11,648 lbf and a radial static load rating of 27,910 lbf, providing robust support in demanding applications.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (0.0000 – 0.0005"), it ensures smooth, low-vibration operation and enhances system accuracy.
- Optimized Material & Cage: The use of chrome steel for rings and balls ensures high durability and wear resistance. The phenolic cage offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and smooth operation at moderate speeds.
- Flexible Lubrication: The open seal type allows for the application of specialized lubricants tailored to specific operational environments and temperature ranges (-30°C to 110°C).
KG160CK0 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Aerospace Actuation Systems: Control surfaces, landing gear mechanisms, and rotor assemblies where weight and space are critical.
- Industrial Robotics: Joints and rotary axes in robotic arms requiring high precision and compact bearing dimensions.
- Medical Equipment: Scanning devices (CT, MRI) and surgical robots demanding smooth, precise rotational movement.
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Wafer handling robots and precision stages.
- Optical and Instrumentation Systems: Rotary tables and gimbals where minimal friction and high positional accuracy are paramount.
