The KD050XP0 thin section bearing reference identifies an open four-point contact design with a 5-inch bore. LYDL lists this nominal size as LYDL-D050 Type X, measuring 5 × 6 × 0.5 in (127 × 152.4 × 12.7 mm). Use the dimensional envelope to compare your installation, and send the model, quantity and application to request a quotation.
KD050XP0 belongs to Kaydon’s reference naming system. The product offered here is identified with the LYDL brand; reference names describe comparison targets and do not imply an authorized brand relationship. Include “LYDL-D050, open Type X, KD050XP0 reference” because a LYDL shorthand can also occur in other contact-type series.

| Parameter | Symbol | Inches | Millimeters |

| Bore diameter | d | 5 | 127 |

Inches are the original nominal units; conversion uses exactly 25.4 mm per inch. The values describe the bearing envelope, not shaft fits, housing tolerances or a complete installed assembly. LYDL’s open Type X series table provides the broader size range.
KD050XP0 uses a half-inch section, so its outside diameter is one full inch larger than its bore. Its 12.7 mm width is twice the nominal width of KA050XP0, while the bore remains 127 mm. A retrofit must account for that 6.35 mm additional bearing width before checking covers, spacers or other axial retention parts.
The reference ratings below follow the Kaydon Reali-Slim open Type X catalog entry for the equivalent KD050XP0 designation. Use them for first-pass sizing; confirm final selection with LYDL against the actual duty cycle, fits, lubrication and operating temperature of your mechanism.

Reference values per the Kaydon Reali-Slim catalog for the equivalent open Type X part number. LYDL manufactures to its own internal specifications, so treat these figures as comparison inputs rather than guaranteed ratings, and verify critical selections with our engineering team.
Type X uses four-point contact geometry and is considered for reversing axial loading and moment support. Combined-load suitability depends on how forces act together, the bearing configuration and the surrounding support. A thin ring with the right bore is not sufficient evidence that it will support a proposed overturning moment or meet a motion-accuracy target.
The KD reference family retains its 0.5 × 0.5 in section as bore size changes. The X contact type must remain explicit in an inquiry: an angular-contact or radial-contact bearing of similar size changes the load arrangement. Compare the Type A angular-contact series or Type C radial-contact series when the duty calls for a different contact design.

The table compares the nominal 5 × 6 × 0.5 in envelope and four-point contact category. Silverthin uses the SD family prefix for this section, whereas the Kaydon designation uses KD. INA / Schaeffler uses the CSXD family designation in this comparison; CSXD050 is the listed reference for this size. The CSX naming identifies the four-point contact family. Keep each brand with its full code and confirm its current specification and availability.
These references are starting points for an interchange review, not an unconditional replacement statement. Check ring geometry, shoulders and corner clearance, fits, internal clearance or preload, accuracy, lubricant and operating duty. Published ratings from different brands are not transferred into LYDL supply data. The suffix does not establish LYDL precision, cage material or preload.
You can request a price for the KD050XP0 reference before every installation detail is settled. Include quantity and delivery destination first. For a replacement assessment, add the existing drawing or designation and identify which dimensions cannot change; this helps distinguish a bore-size change from a section-size change.

The 127 mm nominal opening and 12.7 mm section suit semiconductor wafer-handling and inspection stages, machine-tool rotary tables and indexing heads, lab-automation and packaging carousels, camera and payload turrets, and hollow-shaft servo arrangements that combine a usable central passage with moderate loads. These are potential engineering contexts, not verified installations of this LYDL model. Bearing choice must still account for the actual force directions, motion profile and supporting structure.
For oscillating motion, describe the travel angle, reversal frequency and dwell periods as well as speed. For continuous rotation, specify duty cycle, temperature, lubricant and external protection. These operating details help distinguish a dimensional candidate from a bearing configuration suitable for the actual mechanism.

All listed rows are open Type X references. A shared bore can preserve the nominal shaft diameter while changing the housing bore and axial stack. A shared section preserves bearing width while the shaft and housing diameters change together. The table makes no ranking of load capacity, stiffness, torque or service life.

Allow for more than the 12.7 mm nominal bearing width when reviewing the axial stack. Shaft shoulders, retainers, covers and external seals occupy additional space. Check shaft and housing roundness and support continuity, and apply mounting force through the appropriate ring rather than through the rolling elements. An approved drawing should define the actual interfaces.
Agree material, cage, clearance or preload, accuracy and lubrication as part of the supply specification. Request the inspection items that matter to your assembly, such as dimensional verification and agreed running checks. No numerical load, speed, runout, torque or life guarantee is inferred solely from the reference code or from another brand’s catalog.
Discuss corrosion protection, moisture control, separation between rings and restraint against movement or distortion during transport. Packing should support the thin ring without concentrated clamping. The final package and any inspection records belong to the agreed order; the illustration below is not a photograph of your batch or evidence of a particular test facility.
The 0.5 in radial section occurs on both sides of the bore, so the total diameter difference is 1 in. A 5 in bore therefore gives a 6 in outside diameter. The axial bearing width is separately specified as 0.5 in.
Compare the complete envelope. KD050XP0 is 5 × 6 × 0.5 in, while KA050XP0 is 5 × 5.5 × 0.25 in. The bore agrees, but the outside diameter and width differ, so the housing and axial retention require review.
For KD050XP0, both are nominally 0.5 in (12.7 mm), but they are different measurements. Width is measured along the axis; radial section is half the difference between outside and bore diameters. Neither figure includes the housing wall, retaining parts or external protection.
Use LYDL-D050 with “open Type X” and the full KD050XP0 reference. Include any existing drawing or special configuration. The shorter LYDL designation alone does not resolve contact type, preload, clearance, material or accuracy, and the brand comparison table is not a declaration of fully interchangeable performance.
Open identifies a bearing without an integral sealing arrangement in this reference category. It does not establish preload, clearance or lubricant. External contamination protection and the internal setting should be chosen for the actual duty and stated in the agreed supply specification.
Send “LYDL-D050, open Type X, KD050XP0 reference,” quantity, application and destination for a quotation. If the bearing must fit an existing assembly, include the drawing or the interfaces that must remain fixed. You can also request a drawing for review before agreeing the supply configuration.
