KB040ARO Angular Contact Thin Section Bearing (type A), Solid Brass Cage
The KB040ARO Thin-section angular contact ball bearings are primarily used in applications with stringent requirements for weight, space, and precision, such as aerospace gyroscopes, robotic joints, medical CT scanner gantries, machine tool spindles, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, optical instruments (e.g., telescopes), and precision rotary tables.
The KB040ARO bearing is a Thin-section bearings with an inner diameter of 4 inch , an outer diameter of 4.625 inch, a width of 0.3125 inch. It typically uses Precision Class 1 per ABEC 1F grade precision tolerances and AISI 52100 steel rings, AISI 52100 steel rolling mlement. Its dynamic radial rated load is approximately 3836.25 N, its static radial rated load is approximately 8998 N. Its dynamic axial rated load is approximately 9246 N, its static axial rated load is approximately 26043.5 N. open type, together determine its load-bearing capacity, rotational accuracy, and applicable working conditions.
KB040ARO bearings ( 4 inch x 4.625 inch x 0.3125 inch) have the advantages of Extremely compact, lightweight design, composite load-bearing capacity, high rigidity, and flexible installation, and are therefore widely used in the Robot joints, aerospace, semiconductor equipment, medical instruments and optoelectronic turntables.

The KB040ARO Thin-section angular contact ball bearings mainly consist of a thin-walled inner ring, a thin-walled outer ring, steel balls, and a cage. Their cross-sectional dimensions are constant and extremely thin, with contact angles typically of 15°, 25°, or 30°, making them suitable for space-constrained installations.
Thin-section angular contact ball bearings utilize a thin-walled, constant cross-section design, resulting in lightweight construction and a small footprint, effectively reducing the overall weight of equipment. They can simultaneously withstand radial and axial loads, possessing high rigidity, high-speed capability, and good positioning accuracy, and are easy to install.
