The KA075AR0 is a slim, angular contact ball bearing with a 7.5″ bore and 8″ outer diameter, designed for precision applications. Its thin 0.25″ width and open construction make it ideal for compact spaces while handling radial loads up to 857 lbf.
Made from durable chrome steel with a brass cage, it offers smooth operation and long service life. The 30° contact angle efficiently manages combined loads, including static thrust up to 2190 lbf.
This bearing is interchangeable with KAYDON models, providing a reliable alternative. Suitable for use in robotics or medical equipment where space and precision are key.
It operates in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C and comes pre-lubricated for easy installation. Compliant with RoHS standards, it weighs just 0.34 lbs for easy handling.
Performance Features of KA075AR0 Bearing
KA075AR0 Bearing is designed with a 30° contact angle, optimising load distribution for angular contact applications.
Its chrome steel construction ensures durability, while the brass cage maintains smooth ball alignment.
With a dynamic radial load capacity of 857 lbf, it handles demanding tasks efficiently.
The ABEC-1 tolerance class guarantees consistent performance in precision applications.
Industrial Uses of KA075AR0 Bearing
KA075AR0 Bearing is commonly used in robotics, especially for joints requiring precise angular movement. Its thin-section design saves space while maintaining load capacity, ideal for compact robotic arms.
