7018 ACDTP/HCP4B Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7018 ACDTP/HCP4B is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional accuracy and performance. This single-row bearing features a 25° contact angle and is supplied with a preload, delivering superior running accuracy and high rigidity. Its construction with ceramic balls and a phenolic cage enables outstanding high-speed performance and thermal stability. Designed to handle combined loads, it is an ideal solution for machine tool spindles and other high-precision machinery.
7018 ACDTP/HCP4B Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 7018: Basic series designation, indicating a metric angular contact ball bearing with a 90mm bore and 140mm outside diameter.
- AC: Angular Contact design.
- D: Signifies a high contact angle of 25°.
- TP: Indicates the cage material is Phenolic (synthetic resin), beneficial for high speeds and reduced weight.
- HC: Denotes the use of Hybrid Ceramic balls (ceramic balls with steel rings).
- P4: Specifies the tolerance class equivalent to ABEC-7, ensuring ultra-precision.
- B: Indicates the bearing is supplied with a preload for enhanced stiffness.
7018 ACDTP/HCP4B Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Running Accuracy: The application of a preload eliminates internal clearance, resulting in significantly increased system stiffness and precise shaft positioning, critical for machining accuracy.
- Superior High-Speed Capability: The combination of ceramic balls (lower density, reduced centrifugal force) and a lightweight phenolic cage allows for a very high limiting speed, reducing friction and heat generation.
- Excellent Load Capacity: The 25° contact angle is optimized to efficiently support substantial combined loads (radial and axial loads acting simultaneously).
- Thermal Stability: The phenolic cage maintains its integrity and dimensional stability across the operating temperature range, ensuring consistent performance.
- Pre-Lubricated for Immediate Use: The bearing is lubricated from the factory, ready for installation and initial operation.
