B40-18 Open Non-Standard CVT Auxiliary Shaft Deep Groove Bearing

1. Product Overview

B40-18 non-standard single-row open deep groove ball bearing, overall dimension 40mm inner bore × 68mm outer diameter × 18mm width, fully interchangeable with original NSK B40-18, widely matched to mainstream Japanese CVT small auxiliary control shafts and mini differential assemblies. Open design without rubber seals, equipped with stamped low-carbon steel cage and factory standard C0 internal clearance, C3 clearance customizable on demand. It bears moderate radial load and slight bidirectional axial load, maintains stable low-noise high-speed rotation under long-term variable vibration and high-temperature CVT oil working environment inside sealed transmission housing. Manufactured with fully quenched high-purity GCr15 chrome bearing steel and strict dimensional tolerance control, fully compatible with OEM B40-18 assembly requirements. Complete formal quotation will be provided within 24 hours upon inquiry.

2. Key Advantages

• Open through structure allows full circulation of CVT transmission fluid, continuous efficient heat dissipation, completely avoids aging, swelling and oil leakage problems of rubber seals under long-term high-temperature oil immersion
• Superfinished ultra-smooth deep raceway reduces rolling friction coefficient, stable continuous rotation under frequent shifting torque impact, less heat accumulation during medium-high speed operation
• Uniform high-hardness integral GCr15 inner and outer rings deliver outstanding wear resistance and anti-fatigue performance, effectively extend overall service cycle of CVT transmission
• OEM unified installation dimensions, direct plug-and-play replacement without modifying transmission housing, auxiliary shaft and matching accessories
• Lightweight stamped steel cage lowers rotation inertia, perfectly adapts to long-term continuous medium-speed stable operation of CVT variable transmission
• Standard P0 precision grade, P6 / C3 clearance customizable to meet mainstream auto OEM assembly matching standards
• Stable mass production with sufficient stock supply, cost-effective for auto repair aftermarket and bulk OEM supporting orders

3. Applications

Japanese passenger car CVT transmission small auxiliary control shafts, automatic gearbox mini differential assemblies, light commercial vehicle miniature reducers, small agricultural machinery transmission core moving parts.

8. FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between open B40-18 and rubber sealed bearings?
A1: Open bearing has no rubber sealing lips, installed inside closed CVT housing relying on circulating transmission oil for lubrication and cooling; rubber sealed bearings are used for external exposed dusty shafts with independent grease lubrication.

Q2: Can B40-18 replace original NSK OEM bearings directly?
A2: Yes, inner bore, outer diameter and width dimensions are fully consistent, no modification to transmission shaft components required during replacement.

Q3: Applicable lubrication mode?
A3: Designed for CVT circulating transmission oil lubrication; high-speed anti-wear gear grease can be filled if used for independent separate assembly.
