The Bosch Rexroth COMPACT LIN. BUSH. KBC-16-D (R065811640) is a high-performance linear bushing designed for smooth and precise linear motion applications. It features a compact design with small outer dimensions and a highly compact construction, making it ideal for use in space-constrained environments. The bushing is equipped with one seal and has a standard radial clearance, but it is not pre-lubricated, allowing users to apply their preferred lubrication method. With a shaft diameter of 16 mm, the KBC-16-D offers high dynamic load ratings and an extended service life due to its hardened segmental load-bearing plates that ensure ball conformity within the running track. This results in high travel speeds and efficient operation. The linear bushing also includes integrated wiper seals that prevent contamination from affecting performance, while numerous pockets serve as lubricant reservoirs to facilitate extended lubrication intervals or even lifetime lubrication. Installation of this linear bushing is straightforward—simply press it into place without the need for additional retention mechanisms. The integrated metal retainer is approximately 0.1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the shaft diameters ranging from 3 to 50 mm, ensuring a secure fit within the housing bore. The COMPACT LIN. BUSH. KBC-16-D has an impressive maximum dynamic load capacity (Cmax) and can accommodate accelerations up to amax. It operates effectively within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +80°C and supports a maximum permissible linear speed (vmax). The product's overall length contributes to its stability and load distribution across multiple rows of balls in its closed format. Weighing just 0.05 kg, this linear bushing maintains normal radial clearance despite not being greased, emphasizing maintenance ease and reliability in various applications where low-cost yet robust linear motion solutions are required.
