Six-inch radial bearing with a 6.35 mm axial width

The KA060CP0 thin section bearing reference specifies an open Type C design measuring 6 × 6.5 × 0.25 in. Its 152.4 mm bore and 165.1 mm outside diameter retain a quarter-inch section around a larger opening. Request LYDL-A060 Type C with the full reference for dimension review, a drawing or a quotation.

KA060CP0 thin section bearing dimensions

Parameter	Symbol	in	mm
Bore diameter	d	6	152.4
Outside diameter	D	6.5	165.1
Axial width	B	0.25	6.35
Radial section	(D − d) / 2	0.25	6.35

A larger opening without increasing the KA section

Compared with KA050CP0, both nominal diameters grow by 25.4 mm but the bearing stays 6.35 mm wide. This distinction matters when a machine has a fixed axial envelope but requires a wider shaft or passage. The surrounding structure must still provide suitable support around the larger circumference. A six-inch thin ring should not be selected by bore size alone. The radial reactions, axial disturbance and any offset force must be evaluated for the whole arrangement. If a moment is resisted by two supports, their spacing is part of the calculation and belongs on the layout drawing.

Kaydon KA060CP0 reference load ratings

Reference rating	lbf	kN (converted)
Dynamic radial — Kaydon method	720	3.203
Dynamic radial — ISO comparison	1,487	6.615
Static radial	1,900	8.452

Source: Kaydon official model table, referenced below. These are Kaydon reference capacities, not verified LYDL supply ratings. Dynamic values use a one-million-revolution L10 basis; the ISO column is a comparison rating calculated per ISO 281:1990. Static values assume rigid shaft and housing support. Ratings are not additive or simultaneous permissible loads. Conversion: 1 lbf = 0.0044482216152605 kN; displayed kN values are rounded.

Brand designations for this nominal envelope

Brand	Designation	Scope
LYDL	LYDL-A060 Type C	Supply inquiry identity
Kaydon	KA060CP0	Open radial-contact reference
Silverthin	SA060CP0	Same nominal size and contact family
INA / Schaeffler	CSCA060	CSC catalog radial-contact reference

KA060CP0, SA060CP0 and CSCA060 identify brand-specific references for the 6 × 6.5 × 0.25 in radial-contact envelope. INA / Schaeffler uses CSC for the Conrad radial family; its following letter identifies the section. Compare the complete specification before interchange. Brand names remain with their owners; this LYDL offer does not imply brand authorization. Catalog references do not guarantee current availability.

Bearing spacing in a six-inch supported drum

A drum or hollow roller may place its radial supports at opposite ends. The position of the drive and process force determines how the load is divided between them. Equal bearing sizes do not imply equal bearing loads when the force is off-center. For this possible use, send the support spacing, drum overhang and direction of the applied force. Describe continuous rotation separately from slow indexing or reversal. These details establish a selection case without claiming that every six-inch radial bearing suits every drum of that diameter.

Related sizes and installation envelopes

Reference	Bore d (in)	Outside D (in)	Width B (in)
KA060CP0	6	6.5	0.25
KA050CP0	5	5.5	0.25
KB060CP0	6	6.625	0.3125
KC060CP0	6	6.75	0.375

KB060CP0 and KC060CP0 share the 152.4 mm bore but require outer seats of 168.275 and 171.45 mm. Their widths also increase. KA050CP0 instead reduces the bore and outside diameter while keeping the same section. Compare the installation dimensions of KA050CP0, KB060CP0, KC060CP0. Explore the open Type C size table and radial-contact bearing category. For another contact arrangement, see the KA060XP0 four-point contact reference.

Checking the support after final tightening

Inspect rotation and required running accuracy in the assembled condition. Fastener tightening, a distorted cover or debris beneath a support face may affect the ring even when the bare housing diameter appears correct. Record the mounting condition alongside the result rather than treating an unmounted check as the final acceptance test. Choose clearance and lubricant for the operating temperature and fits. A radial-contact design normally needs its internal condition considered after assembly; assigning preload simply because another thin-section contact type uses it can produce an unsuitable specification.

Inspection, handling and packing

For six-inch rings, restrain movement within the package without clamping a small area of the circumference. Identify paired installation positions if the order uses two bearings in one mechanism, while keeping each supplied bearing’s traceability intact.

Questions about this model

Will two KA060CP0 supports each carry half the drum load?

Only under an arrangement that produces equal reactions. An off-center drive, overhang or process force can load one support more heavily. Calculate reactions from the actual bearing spacing and force locations.

Can a 150 mm shaft be used for the six-inch reference?

The nominal bore is 152.4 mm. A 150 mm shaft is a different interface and needs a separate design review; it is not a normal fit variation for this inch-size bearing.

Should the running check be repeated after the cover is tightened?

Yes, when assembled rotation or accuracy is an acceptance requirement. Record the final mounting condition because cover distortion, seating debris and fastening can change behavior from the unmounted state.

What is the space penalty for changing to KC060CP0?

The outside diameter increases from 165.1 to 171.45 mm and width from 6.35 to 9.525 mm. The nominal shaft diameter stays 152.4 mm, but the housing and axial retention need revision.

Does a longer duty cycle change the catalog capacity number?

The published reference rating remains the catalog value. Required life, lubrication, speed and temperature determine how that rating is used in selection; it is not a guarantee for an unspecified continuous-duty machine.
