7003 CD/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7003 CD/P4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and high-speed performance. Manufactured to P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this precision bearing delivers superior running accuracy and dimensional stability. Its key advantage lies in its ability to support combined loads, efficiently carrying significant radial loads and axial loads in one direction simultaneously. The 15° contact angle is optimized for high-speed operation, while the phenolic cage ensures smooth performance at the limiting speed of 75,000 rpm. Preloaded and pre-lubricated, it is ready for installation in high-reliability, precision machinery.
7003 CD/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7003 | Basic bearing series designation, indicating a metric, light series angular contact bearing with a 17mm bore, 35mm OD, and 10mm width. |
| CD | Indicates a specific contact angle (15°) and internal design optimized for high-speed, high-precision applications. This is a standard designation for a specific combination of high-precision and high-speed features. |
| P4 | Denotes the tolerance class, equivalent to ABEC-7. This signifies extremely tight dimensional and running accuracy tolerances for superior performance. |
| A | Indicates that the bearing is supplied with a specific internal preload. This reduces axial and radial play, increasing system rigidity and rotational accuracy from the moment of installation. |
7003 CD/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Precision: The single-row angular contact design, combined with a P4 tolerance class and factory-set preload, provides high system rigidity and minimizes deflection under load, ensuring precise shaft positioning.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The 15° contact angle effectively handles combined radial and axial loads. With a dynamic load rating of 1521 lbf and a static load rating of 731 lbf, it is engineered for demanding applications.
- Superior High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic resin cage offers excellent dimensional stability and low friction, contributing to the high limiting speed of 75,000 rpm. The open design facilitates efficient lubrication management.
- Pre-Lubricated for Immediate Use: The bearing is pre-lubricated, simplifying installation and ensuring immediate, reliable operation within the specified temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
