KH Series Pre-engineered high
precision heavy duty turntable bearing assemblies
KH Series turntable bearings are designed to provide
precise positioning and stopping,
with consistent repeatability, in applications
where rotation is constant, intermittent
or oscillating. They are the ideal
bearing for advanced rotary index tables
or any design where the bearing will
interface with other precision mechanical
components.
The KH Series heavy duty turntable bearing's unique 4-point
contact ball geometry enables one
bearing to handle simultaneous radial, axial and moment loading. An internal
diametral preload provides greater stiffness
and minimum free play. And unlike
conventional air bearings, Kaydon KH
Series precision bearings will not lock up in the presence of
off-center loads.
Available in 3 popular pitch diameters,
in geared and non-geared versions,
Series KH bearings feature a low profile
to permit larger work areas above the
index table.
Tight deflection and tilt
tolerances give KH Series
bearings their precision
KH Series bearings are often used in
applications where the position of a
rotating part relative to the stationary
structure is critical. The axis of rotation
can be displaced from its true position in
three ways-radially, axially, and angularly.
These deviations are referred to as
radial deflection, axial deflection, and
tilt (angular rotation).
The three tables from our printable heavy duty turntable bearings pdf catalog show stiffness
of standard KH Series bearings. If your
application requires increased stiffness,
Kaydon can often supply a stiffer bearing
in the same envelope dimensions. Call
