7002 CD/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7002 CD/HCP4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. This single-row bearing is designed to accommodate high combined loads, primarily thrust loads in one direction, while also supporting significant radial loads. Its defining features include a P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class for superior running accuracy, a phenolic resin cage for high-speed capability, and ceramic balls that reduce weight and centrifugal force, enabling higher limiting speeds and reduced operating temperatures. The bearing is preloaded and pre-lubricated, ensuring immediate, reliable performance in demanding environments.
7002 CD/HCP4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 7002 | Standard bearing series designation indicating a 15mm bore, 32mm OD, and 9mm width. | Defines the core bearing dimensions. |
| C | Specifies a 15° contact angle. | Optimized for high-speed operation and thrust load capacity. |
| D | Indicates the bearing is supplied with a preload. | Enhances system rigidity and minimizes axial/radial runout. |
| HC | Signifies Hybrid Ceramic construction (steel rings with ceramic balls). | Reduces friction and heat generation, increases limiting speed and service life. |
| P4 | Denotes a super-precision tolerance class (equivalent to ABEC-7). | Ensures extremely low vibration and noise for high-precision applications. |
7002 CD/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Hybrid Ceramic Design: The combination of chrome steel rings and silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic balls provides superior performance. Ceramic balls are lighter, harder, and have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than steel, which significantly reduces centrifugal loading and operating temperature, directly contributing to the high limiting speed of 100,000 rpm.
- Phenolic Resin Cage: The lightweight and robust phenolic cage (often designated as TN9-type) offers excellent dimensional stability and low friction at high speeds, further supporting the bearing's high-speed performance.
- 15° Contact Angle & Preload: The optimized contact angle is ideal for handling high thrust loads. The factory-applied preload eliminates internal clearance, resulting in greater stiffness, precise shaft positioning, and reduced non-repetitive runout.
- Super-Precision Tolerances: Manufactured to P4 tolerance class, this bearing guarantees minimal dimensional variation and superior running accuracy, which is critical for applications requiring high rotational precision.
