Optimal Bearing Solution for High Axial Loads
Our single-direction, single-row axial deep groove ball bearings (KT bearings) offer a reliable solution for high axial loads combined with slow rotational or pivoting movements. Their compact design and precise manufacturing make them ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Design and Function of KT Bearings
KT bearings consist of two precisely machined thrust rings, a matching housing, and robust rolling elements. In the standard version, the thrust rings are made of case-hardened steel. The special construction ensures high axial stiffness and a long service life with consistent performance.
Applications of Axial Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Typical applications for KT bearings include:
- Automation technology
- Swivel units and robotic joints
- Assembly fixtures
- Machining equipment
- Tool and jig construction
Housing Materials – Versatile and Adaptable
Depending on the operating environment and technical requirements, the housings of KT axial bearings are available in various material versions:
Code | Material |
---|---|
E | Steel |
VZ | Zinc-plated steel |
MS | Brass |
N | Stainless steel |
NV | Nickel-plated |
Temperature Resistance and Special Versions
The standard version of our KT bearings is designed for operating temperatures from -30 °C to +160 °C. For applications with higher thermal demands, we offer high-temperature greases and special lubricants upon request. Custom sizes and special designs are available on demand.
Further technical details such as dimensions, load ratings, and available types can be found in the following tables.
