KP001 Pillow Block Bearing for 12mm Shaft

youmagine

I found the FK KP001 to be a versatile component when designing a 3D printer mechanism, so I created a CAD file for it. Available as STL for 3D previews here, in AD_PRT (Geomagic Design) and STEP. Its unique design makes it an attractive option, featuring a pillow block with a bearing inside and two set screws to secure the shaft. This design is both cost-effective and easy to use, eliminating the need to build multiple pillow blocks and employ shaft collars. This component serves as a mechanical stand-in for designing machines, accurately replicating mount faces, hole locations, sizes, offsets, relative positions, and bores. I incorporated it into a model that closely resembles its actual form, despite some minor discrepancies that don't impact mechanical design functionality. These (or their clones) can be purchased affordably on Aliexpress, eBay, and Amazon.
