Reali-Slim® open bearings, stainless steel

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a technical catalog from Kaydon Bearings, focusing on Reali-Slim Bearings made from AISI 440C stainless steel. These bearings are designed for high precision and corrosion resistance, suitable for environments with corrosive chemicals and non-protective lubricants.
Specifications: The bearings are constructed from AISI 440C stainless steel with a minimum hardness of 58 HRc, supporting similar loads as 52100 chrome steel. They feature stainless steel or ceramic balls, brass or non-metallic separators, and are available in radial contact "C," angular contact "A," or four-point contact "X" configurations. Sealed versions are also available.
Selection Tables: Detailed selection tables are provided for SA, SAA, SB, SC, SD, SF, and SG series bearings, listing bearing numbers, dimensions, dynamic and static capacities, and approximate weights. Notes on capacities, static limits, and ISO radial ratings are included.
Key Features:
  • Minimizes surface degradation and particulate formation in harsh environments.
  • Available in popular sizes and configurations.
  • Requires thrust application to establish contact angle and may need adjustment for running clearance or preload during installation. Matched sets and spacers are available for precision applications.
Procedures and Norms: Dynamic capacities are based on 1 million revolutions of L10 life, and static capacities are non-brinell limits based on rigid support from the shaft and housing. ISO radial ratings are calculated per ISO 281:1990 for comparison purposes.
Recommendations: For combined loading, users should refer to the Bearing Selection and Load Analysis. Contact Kaydon product engineering for values related to hybrid series bearings P, X, and Y.
Critical Information:
  • Capacities listed are not simultaneous; refer to Bearing Selection and Load Analysis for combined loading scenarios.
  • Published capacities do not apply to hybrid series bearings P, X, and Y.
  • ISO radial ratings are for comparison only and should be referred to on Page 95 of the catalog.
  • The maximum shaft or housing fillet radius that the bearing corners will clear is specified as 'F'.
Contact Information: Kaydon Bearings is located in Muskegon, Michigan, with contact details provided for further inquiries and service requests.

Reali-Slim® open bearings, stainless steel-1

Kaydon Bearings Reali-Slim Bearings Catalog 300 In today's manufacturing environment, bearings are often required: Stainless Steel Reali-Slim thin section bearings mini­ ize the m surface degradation and particulate formation so com­mon in harsh environment applications. They are available: ❚❚ in AISI 440C stainless steel races ❚❚ to operate in close proximity to corrosive chemicals ❚❚ with brass or non-metallic separators ❚❚ to operate with lubricants which do not protect against corrosion ❚❚ with either stainless steel or ceramic balls ❚❚ to be ready-to-use, ultra-clean bearings with no preservative on them Kaydon stainless steel bearings are used where high precision and corrosion resistance are required. Selection Tables Stainless Steel Bearings (Material Code S) ❚❚ in either radial contact “C,” angular contact “A,” or fourpoint contact “X” configurations Because any of these requirements would disqualify the use of standard 52100 steel material, Kaydon addressed these issues by offering Reali-Slim thin section bearings in AISI 440C stainless steel. This steel meets the minimum 58 HRc hardness level and can support the same loading as does 52100 chrome steel. NOTE: In addition to the open Reali-Slim bearings on the following pages, many sealed Reali-Slim bearings are available in stainless steel. Please refer to pages 29-34 and, when ordering, replace the J in the part number with a W. All bearings made of this material also utilize balls made of AISI 440C stainless steel.

Section 2 Selection Tables Reali-Slim Bearings Catalog 300 Kaydon Bearings A deep groove bearing with reduced shoulder on one side of inner or outer race ball path. Snap-over assembly permits use of a one-piece circular pocket ring separator and greater ball complement. These bearings will accept radial load and single direction thrust load and are normally used in conjunction with another bearing of similar construction. Type A bearings require the application of thrust to establish contact angle. Stock bearings are individual units and when purchased as such must be adjusted at installation...
