7018 ACD/P4ADT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7018 ACD/P4ADT is a precision duplex tandem angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional rigidity and accuracy. This P4A tolerance class bearing is preloaded and supplied as a matched set, enabling it to handle combined loads (radial and axial) efficiently in a single direction. Its compact design and high rigidity make it ideal for high-precision, high-reliability machinery where minimal deflection under load is critical.
7018 ACD/P4ADT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7018 | Standard bearing series with 90mm bore, 140mm OD, 48mm width. |
| AC | Angular Contact design with a 25° contact angle. |
| D | Duplex Tandem (DT) arrangement. Two bearings are matched and preloaded to share the axial load in one direction. |
| P4A | High precision tolerance class, equivalent to ABEC 7, with enhanced running accuracy. |
| DT | Duplex Tandem, confirming the matched set arrangement. |
7018 ACD/P4ADT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The duplex tandem arrangement combines two bearings to provide superior axial stiffness and a high thrust load capacity in one direction, making it resistant to operational deflection.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to P4A tolerance class with a 25° contact angle, this bearing ensures smooth, precise rotation with minimal runout, which is critical for high-speed spindles.
- Optimized High-Speed Operation: The lightweight phenolic resin cage and precision-ground chrome steel components reduce centrifugal forces and friction, supporting a high limiting speed of 16,000 rpm.
- Durability & Preload: The bearings are supplied as a preloaded matched set, eliminating internal clearance and ensuring immediate, precise performance upon installation without requiring further adjustment.
