You can upgrade to the four-point contact ball bearing RKS.060.20.0414 while maintaining the same mounting dimensions. Geared versions include RKS.161.14.0414 (external gear) and RKS.162.14.0414 (internal gear).
Why Choose RKS 160 14 0414 Crossed Roller Design?
The crossed cylindrical roller arrangement in the RKS.160 14mm crossed cylindrical roller slewing bearing provides exceptional rigidity compared to traditional ball bearings. Each roller alternates 90 degrees in orientation, enabling the bearing to handle combined axial, radial, and moment loads simultaneously within a compact 56 mm height.
Zero clearance or preload configuration eliminates play, ensuring precision positioning critical for robotic waist joints and CNC indexing tables. This medium size crossed roller slewing bearing 0414 delivers lower frictional torque than multi-row roller designs, reducing motor power requirements in battery-operated equipment.
The RKS.160.14.0414 Slewing Bearings feature an induction-hardened raceway (HRC 55-62) that extends service life even under continuous oscillation. Integral NBR seals retain NLGI 2 lithium EP grease while excluding contaminants, meeting IP65 equivalent protection standards. Four M10×1 grease fittings enable purge lubrication, critical for maintaining performance in dusty industrial environments.

Q: Is RKS.160.14.0414 equivalent to INA XSU14 0414?
A: Yes, the XSU14 0414 equivalent SKF RKS.160 offers dimensional interchangeability. The INA version has a 484 mm outside diameter (2 mm smaller) but shares identical bore, height, and bolt patterns. Both bearings mount without modification in most applications.
Q: What is the load capacity of 160.14.0414?
A: Dynamic axial load rating (C): 167 kN. Static axial load rating (C0): 595 kN. These values apply to pure axial loading per ISO 281 standards. For combined loads, consult our engineering team for equivalent load calculations.

A: Yes. The external gear version is designated RKS.161.14.0414, and the internal gear version is RKS.162.14.0414. Both maintain the same mounting dimensions as the no-gear model. Gear modules and tooth counts vary based on application requirements. We also offer the four-point contact ball bearing RKS.060.20.0414 with identical bolt holes for applications prioritizing cost over rigidity.
Q: What is the recommended re-lubrication interval?
A: For continuous rotation applications, relubricate every 100 operating hours using NLGI 2 lithium EP grease through the four M10×1 fittings. In oscillating service (robotic arms), extend intervals to 200 hours. Automatic lubrication systems help purge contaminants in dusty environments. Always follow your equipment manufacturer's specifications.
