NEW RKB AF2D DESIGN

Main feature:
• Machined steel cage design

Main changes compared to A2D standard brass cage design:

• Improved cage resistance and tenon stiffness
• Reduced cage inertia
• Less sensitivity to chemical agents
• More free volume available for lubricant
• Less cage deformation which reduces the risk that rollers might fall
• Reduced max roller drop (suitable for oil lubrication)
