7008 CD/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7008 CD/P4A is a precision angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. As a single-row bearing with a 15° contact angle, it excels at supporting combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Manufactured to the stringent P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, it ensures minimal runout and vibration, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and other high-precision machinery. Its compact design, with a 40 mm bore and 68 mm outside diameter, provides a high-performance solution in a minimal space envelope.
7008 CD/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 7008: Basic designation indicating a 40 mm bore, 68 mm OD, 15 mm width metric bearing.
- C: Denotes a 15° contact angle, optimized for high-speed operation and moderate axial load capacity.
- D: Indicates the bearing is supplied with a specific preload for enhanced rigidity and precise shaft positioning.
- P4A: Specifies the tolerance class. P4 is equivalent to ABEC-7, denoting very high precision. The "A" suffix often indicates specific accuracy and performance characteristics within this class.
7008 CD/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: The angular contact design and factory-set preload significantly increase system stiffness, reducing deflection under load and enabling superior machining accuracy and surface finishes.
- Optimized for High Speeds: The lightweight phenolic resin cage minimizes centrifugal forces, reduces friction, and contributes to the bearing's high limiting speed of 32,000 rpm. The 15° contact angle is ideal for such high-speed applications.
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to handle combined loads, it offers a dynamic load rating of 3780 lbf and a static load rating of 2475 lbf, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding conditions.
- Pre-Lubricated for Immediate Use: The bearing comes lubricated from the factory, ready for installation and initial operation, simplifying the assembly process.
7008 CD/P4A Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Machine Tool Spindles: For CNC milling centers, grinding spindles, and lathes.
- High-Speed Motors and Drives: Used in electric spindles and high-frequency motors.
- Precision Instrumentation: In medical devices, optical scanners, and coordinate measuring machines.
- Aerospace and Defense Systems: For gyroscopes, radar systems, and other critical rotating assemblies.
