Models
The model number is the base width in millimeters (a KE065 is 65 mm wide), and KE050D is the double-slider build of the KE050. Where a frame offers two leads, paired values read in lead order: the KE065 carries 15 kg at the 5 mm lead and 8 kg at the 10 mm lead. On the KE030, order code 1 is the 1.25 mm lead.
