FAG L15TA404 thin section ball bearing, inch series. Bore: 4-1/4 in (4.250 in, 107.95 mm). Outside diameter: 5-1/4 in (5.250 in, 133.35 mm). Width: 1/2 in (0.500 in, 12.70 mm). Open on both faces. Country of origin: Germany.
404 — the basic bearing number. TA — Cage: textile-laminated phenolic retainer, outer-ring guided. L15 — Lubricant: Shell Aeroshell 7 grease to MIL-G-23827. Searchable forms: L15TA404, L15 TA 404, L15TA 404, 404-TA-L15. The carton also carries the cross designations KD-42 and ARO.
The cross-section is square: (5.250 in − 4.250 in) / 2 = 0.500 in, which equals the width. That square 1/2 in x 1/2 in section on a 4-1/4 in bore is the defining thin-section geometry, and it is what lets a large-diameter bearing fit a shallow housing pocket and a light rotating structure.
A textile-laminated phenolic cage is light, self-lubricating and runs quietly, and outer-ring-guided location keeps the cage stable under the low radial loads and oscillating duty that thin-section bearings usually see. The Aeroshell 7 grease charge is a wide-temperature aviation-specification grease, which places this bearing in gimbal, actuator and instrument-platform service rather than general industrial duty.
One piece.
Bore form: straight, 4.250 in. Thin-section rings are flexible by design, so both the shaft seat and the housing bore carry the ring roundness; a light press on a full-contact seat holds the raceway geometry.
The carton cross designations KD-42 and ARO are recorded as searchable variants. Kaydon Reali-Slim bore code 042 is the same 4.250 in bore on a thin-section envelope. FAG 404-TA is the same bearing without the L15 grease specification.
