7008/VA9D1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7008/VA9D1 is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional accuracy and rigidity. Engineered to a P4 tolerance class, it delivers superior running precision and dimensional stability. Its key advantage lies in its ability to accommodate combined loads—simultaneously handling significant radial and axial forces in one direction. The bearing comes preloaded and is universally matchable (SU), allowing for simplified mounting in pairs to achieve optimal stiffness and performance in high-speed, high-rigidity systems.
7008/VA9D1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7008 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating a metric angular contact ball bearing with a 40mm bore, 68mm OD, and 15mm width. |
| VA9 | Signifies a universally matchable (SU) bearing supplied with a specific preload. This allows any two VA9 bearings to be paired without selective assembly for optimal performance. |
| D1 | Indicates the bearing is lubricated from the factory with a specific grease suitable for its designated operating range. |
7008/VA9D1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The 25° contact angle and preload are optimized to provide high axial and radial stiffness, enabling the bearing to handle demanding combined loads with minimal deflection.
- High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic resin cage reduces centrifugal forces, contributing to a high limiting speed of 43,000 rpm. This makes it an excellent high-speed bearing for precision spindles.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to P4 tolerance class with tight dimensional tolerances on bore, OD, and width, ensuring consistent, high-accuracy performance in the most demanding applications.
- Simplified Installation: The Universal Matchable (SU) design eliminates the need for complex selection and matching of bearings, reducing assembly time and ensuring consistent preload and performance in paired arrangements.
