Dayton 2CNK5 Ball Bushing Bearing Closed 1 1/4 in Bore
Closed linear ball bearing with a 1 1/4 inch bore delivers 352 lbf dynamic and 616 lbf static load capacity
- Handles heavy radial loads with 616 lbf static capacity
- Moves smoothly at 5000 in/min steady-state speed
- Operates reliably from -4 to 176 °F
- Precise fit ensured by ±.0005 in bore tolerance
- Durable stainless-steel and polymer-cage construction resists wear
Linear Ball Bearing for Inch-Series Shafts
The Dayton 2CNK5 is a closed-type linear ball bushing designed for 1 1/4 inch diameter shafts. Its stainless steel and polymer cage construction suits machinery and automation applications requiring precise linear motion. The bearing fits a 2 inch outside diameter housing with an overall length of 2 5/8 inches.
Sustained Load and Speed Performance
Under continuous operation the bearing delivers a dynamic load capacity of 352 lbf and a static load capacity of 616 lbf. Steady state speed is rated at 5000 in/min while the operating temperature range spans -4 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. The design is not self-aligning so shaft alignment must be maintained by the surrounding assembly.
Upgrade Path and Fit Considerations
This unit replaces worn or lower-capacity bushings on 1 1/4 inch shafts where a closed bearing and tighter inside diameter tolerance of +/- .0005 in are specified. The jump is worthwhile when the application demands the stated load ratings and temperature range rather than a lighter-duty alternative. Buyers needing self-alignment or a different bore size should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How warm does the 1 1/4 in bore bearing get when running at 5000 in/min all day?
The maximum operating temperature is 176 Degrees F, so the bearing is rated to handle that heat level during continuous operation at the steady-state speed.
What shaft tolerance must I already have for the 1 1/4 in bore to fit correctly?
The inside diameter tolerance is +/- 0.0005 in, so the shaft should be manufactured to match that clearance for proper installation and performance.
Will this closed ball bushing work with the older linear rails I already use?
The bearing has a 2 in outside diameter and 2 5/8 in overall length with a closed design, so it fits rails and housings built to those inch-series dimensions.
