The Bosch Rexroth STD.LINEAR BUSHING KBM-5-DD (R060230510) is a robust standard linear bushing designed to offer smooth linear motion in harsh environments prone to heavy contamination, such as woodworking, foundries, and cement plants. This closed-type bushing features a durable all-metal design with a steel ball retainer, ensuring reliable operation even under challenging conditions. The KBM-5-DD is engineered with multiple lubricant reservoir pockets that not only extend lubrication intervals but also provide the possibility of lubrication for life, reducing maintenance requirements. The bushing's shaft diameter is precision-engineered to accommodate self-supporting shafts, while the inclusion of two seals helps to prevent the ingress of contaminants. These seals also allow the unit to operate without wiper seals, supporting higher temperature applications for shaft diameters 20 mm and above. The outer sleeve is hardened and ground for increased resilience and longevity. Equipped with rows of balls made from rolling bearing steel, the KBM-5-DD's design includes pockets that capture any dirt or debris, protecting the internal mechanism from jamming. Despite its rugged construction, the linear bushing maintains a low friction coefficient between 0.01 and 0.25, contributing to efficient performance and reduced wear. The product has a maximum dynamic load capacity (Cmax) that ensures it can withstand significant operational stresses over a total travel distance of 100 km (with adjustments for longer distances). It operates effectively within an ambient temperature range of -30°C to +80°C without wiper seals. The Bosch Rexroth STD.LINEAR BUSHING KBM-5-DD offers an outer diameter D dimension tailored for compatibility with standard mounting configurations and has a weight specification of 0.1 kg. This linear bushing model is particularly suitable for applications requiring high durability and reliability in environments where frequent exposure to dirt and high temperatures are common challenges. Its construction provides extended service life and consistent performance in demanding industrial settings.
