SC042XP0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SC042XP0 is a Four Point Contact thin section bearing designed for applications requiring high precision and space optimization. Manufactured from stainless steel with a brass cage, this single row ball bearing excels in handling combined loads, simultaneously supporting significant radial and axial forces. Its compact cross-section (0.375" width) makes it an ideal solution for lightweight, high-rigidity designs in demanding environments.

SC042XP0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Four Point Contact Design: This unique geometry allows the bearing to support combined radial and axial loads from any direction with a single bearing row, simplifying assembly and saving space.
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The robust construction and stainless steel components provide a high static load rating of 2220 lbf (radial) and 5560 lbf (axial), ensuring stable performance under significant load moments.
- Precision & Smooth Operation: Built to ABEC-1 tolerance standards with a tight radial internal clearance, this bearing offers precise running accuracy. The brass cage ensures smooth operation at moderate speeds.
- Corrosion Resistance & Lightweight: The all-stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the thin-section design results in a low weight of only 0.47 lbs, ideal for weight-sensitive applications.
