INA ZKLN4090-2Z Schrägkugellager (40x90x46)

As an axial angular contact ball bearing, this bearing carries high axial loads at elevated speeds, e.g. for ball screws. The mounting dimensions are 40x90x46 mm and the weight is 1.32 kg; technical details beyond these are shown in the specification table. This version sits between the open and the contact-sealed form: a narrow gap instead of sealing contact, at unchanged axial stiffness.

The angled ball row carries the longitudinal force and delivers the axial stiffness a preloaded feed axis demands; the sealing arrangement changes nothing about that load-carrying action. The minimal-gap seals fitted at both faces act through a narrow gap without appreciable contact and hold back coarse contamination, while the additional frictional torque and the heating that follows from it stay low — the decisive advantage at a permanently preloaded bearing position whose power loss stems mainly from the preload anyway.

The gap does not, however, give full protection against moisture and fine dust, so heavily loaded environments call for external shielding or an appropriate relubrication interval. After hardening, standard bearing steel provides the required raceway hardness and dimensional stability. For the design, preload, speed, contamination level and the friction power to be dissipated should be assessed together.
