The Bosch Rexroth COMPACT LIN. BUSH. KBC-8 (R065800800) is a high-performance, compact linear bushing designed for applications requiring smooth linear motion with minimal maintenance. This product is characterized by its small outer dimensions and highly compact construction, which make it an optimal choice for space-constrained environments. The KBC-8 model offers a dynamic load rating that ensures long service life and can withstand high travel speeds, thanks to hardened segmental load-bearing plates with ball conformity in the running track. The COMPACT LIN. BUSH. KBC-8 is engineered without seals and is not pre-lubricated, allowing for customization based on application-specific lubrication needs. It features standard radial clearance and comes in a standard version to meet general requirements efficiently. Installation is straightforward due to its simple press-fit mounting design that does not necessitate additional retention. This linear bushing includes many pockets that serve as lubricant reservoirs, potentially extending lubrication intervals or even enabling lifetime lubrication. These pockets also play a crucial role in collecting debris, which helps prevent jamming of the component during operation. An integrated metal retainer ensures a secure fit within the housing bore for shaft diameters ranging from 3 to 50 mm. With regard to technical specifications, the KBC-8 has a maximum dynamic load capacity (Cmax) that can be adjusted based on total travel distance, an ambient temperature range tolerance from -20°C to +80°C, and an outer diameter of D=24 mm. The bushing's length contributes to its stability and performance while maintaining a low friction coefficient for smooth motion. It is capable of handling breakaway forces effectively, with a noted friction force of 0.02 N when equipped with one wiper seal. Overall, the Bosch Rexroth COMPACT LIN. BUSH. KBC-8 offers reliability and precision in linear motion applications while ensuring ease of installation and maintenance for users seeking cost-effective yet durable components for their machinery or equipment setups.
