The Bosch Rexroth STD.LINEAR BUSHING KBM-8 (R060030800) is a high-quality standard linear bushing designed for applications requiring robust motion control. This closed-type linear bushing features a rugged all-metal design with a steel ball retainer, making it suitable for harsh environments and heavy contamination conditions often found in woodworking, foundries, and cement plants. The KBM-8 is specifically crafted without seals to allow for higher permissible ambient temperatures and is equipped with many pockets that act as lubricant reservoirs, potentially extending lubrication intervals or even enabling lubrication for life. The steel ball retainer is designed to accommodate shaft diameters of varying sizes, with plastic strips made of POM for certain diameters and PA for others. These materials provide durability and smooth motion. The integrated steel retaining rings within the bushing contribute to its ability to withstand higher temperatures, especially with larger shaft diameters. The hardened and ground outer sleeve ensures reliable performance while maintaining the integrity of the motion control system. This linear bushing has multiple rows of balls made from rolling bearing steel that are capable of handling dynamic and static loads efficiently. With its advanced design, the KBM-8 can prevent dirt from jamming the mechanism by collecting any particulates in its pockets. It provides a maximum dynamic load capacity (Cmax) and features a friction coefficient range that varies depending on load conditions. Bosch Rexroth's attention to detail in the engineering of this linear bushing ensures minimal friction force under radial load, contributing to efficient operation. The product offers an impressive breakaway force and maximum permissible linear speed (vmax), making it an excellent choice for various industrial applications where precision linear movement is critical. With a weight of 0.1 kg, this robust component maintains performance across a wide range of operating temperatures without compromising on quality or reliability.
