7018 ACD/P4ADGA Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7018 ACD/P4ADGA is a precision angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional accuracy and rigidity. Operating as a universal matchable (SU) bearing, it can be paired with another identical bearing in a back-to-back (DB) or face-to-face (DF) arrangement to form a pre-loaded set, optimizing system stiffness and rotational accuracy. Its P4A tolerance class ensures ultra-precise running dimensions, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and other high-precision machinery.
7018 ACD/P4ADGA Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| A | Signifies a 25° contact angle, providing an optimal balance between radial and axial load capacity. |
| CD | Indicates a Universal Matchable (SU) design. Two bearings can be universally paired to achieve a specific preload without selective mounting. |
| P4A | Denotes an ultra-high precision tolerance class with even tighter specifications than standard P4, ensuring minimal runout and vibration. |
| DGA | Specifies the preload level, in this case, Extra Light (Class A). This minimizes friction and heat generation, making it suitable for very high-speed applications. |
7018 ACD/P4ADGA Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The angular contact design and the ability to be mounted in a pre-loaded pair enable the bearing to withstand significant combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, providing exceptional system stability.
- Superior High-Speed Performance: The combination of an Extra Light preload (DGA) and a lightweight, robust phenolic resin cage minimizes centrifugal forces and friction, allowing for a high limiting speed of 16,000 rpm.
- Ultra-Precision Operation: Manufactured to P4A tolerance class with a 25° contact angle, this bearing guarantees extremely precise shaft guidance and low running noise, which is critical for applications like machine tool spindles.
- Optimized Material Selection: The use of high-grade chrome steel for rings and balls ensures high durability and fatigue life, while the phenolic cage is suitable for high-speed operation and is compatible with a wide temperature range.
