7018 CD/P4ATBTB Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7018 CD/P4ATBTB is a precision angular contact ball bearing configured as a triplex back-to-back (TBT) matched set. Engineered for applications demanding exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity, this bearing arrangement is designed to handle significant combined loads (radial and axial) simultaneously. Manufactured to P4A tolerance class, it offers superior running accuracy, making it ideal for high-speed, high-precision machinery. The set is pre-lubricated and features a light preload (Class B), ensuring optimal performance and stability from installation.
7018 CD/P4ATBTB Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7018 | Basic bearing series, defining the core dimensions: 90mm bore, 140mm OD, 24mm single width. |
| CD | Indicates a universal matched set with a specific preload and axial/radial clearance. |
| P4A | The tolerance class, denoting very high precision for both bore and outside diameter tolerances. |
| TBT | Specifies the matched arrangement as Triplex Back-to-Back, consisting of three bearings. |
7018 CD/P4ATBTB Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The triplex back-to-back configuration creates a highly rigid bearing system capable of withstanding heavy combined loads and moment loads. The 15° contact angle is optimized for supporting substantial axial loads in both directions.
- Precision & High-Speed Performance: The P4A tolerance class ensures minimal runout and vibration, which is critical for high-speed applications up to 15,000 rpm. The phenolic cage contributes to smooth operation at high speeds with low friction.
- Optimized for Stability: The bearings are supplied as a pre-matched and pre-loaded set (Light Preload / Class B), eliminating internal clearance and enhancing shaft positioning accuracy and system stiffness without requiring complex adjustment during installation.
- Durable Construction: Made from chrome steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers high fatigue life and durability. The open seal type allows for efficient re-lubrication in demanding applications.
