The Bosch Rexroth STD.LINEAR BUSHING KBM-16 (R060001600) is a high-quality linear bushing designed for use in demanding industrial applications such as woodworking, foundries, and cement plants. This standard metal linear bushing features a rugged all-metal design with a steel ball retainer that is suitable for harsh environments and heavy contamination. The KBM-16 is characterized by its closed configuration, which supports self-sustaining shafts, and its lack of seal, which allows for higher permissible ambient temperatures. With a hardened and ground outer sleeve, this linear bushing ensures durability and smooth motion. It offers many pockets acting as lubricant reservoirs to extend lubrication intervals or even provide lubrication for life. These pockets also serve to collect dirt and prevent jamming of the bushing. The balls in the bushing are made of rolling bearing steel, ensuring reliable operation under load. The KBM-16 can handle dynamic load capacities based on total travel distance with specific multipliers applied for different travel lengths. It is designed to accommodate shaft diameters with variations in the material of the ball retainer based on size; smaller diameters utilize POM while larger sizes use PA. The product does not include wiper seals but comes with integrated steel retaining rings to withstand higher temperatures. Key specifications include an outer diameter D, maximum dynamic load capacity Cmax, minimum dynamic load capacity Cmin, static load capacities (both minimum and maximum), friction coefficients under various conditions, breakaway force requirements, maximum permissible linear speed vmax, and recommended housing bore tolerances. The permissible ambient temperature range for this bushing spans from -30°C to +80°C without wiper seals. Weighing 0.1 kg, the Bosch Rexroth STD.LINEAR BUSHING KBM-16 is part of the Linear Bushings and Shafts product group and represents a reliable choice for linear guidance where robustness and performance are critical.
