7038 CDGA/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7038 CDGA/P4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing engineered for ultra-high precision applications. Positioned in the premium P4A tolerance class, it delivers exceptional rotational accuracy and dimensional stability. Its defining characteristic is the 15° contact angle and Universal Matchable (SU) design, allowing bearings to be paired in a duplex set to achieve optimal preload and system rigidity. This bearing is pre-lubricated and features an open seal type for maximum speed capability, making it an ideal solution for machine tool spindles and other high-performance machinery requiring superior precision and reliability.
7038 CDGA/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 7038: Standard bore (190 mm) and outside diameter (290 mm) designation.
- C: Denotes a 15° contact angle, optimized for high-speed operation and moderate axial load capacity.
- DG: Indicates that the bearing is Universal Matchable (SU). Two identical bearings can be mounted together in a back-to-back (DB), face-to-face (DF), or tandem (DT) arrangement to support combined loads.
- A: Specifies an Extra light preload (Class A). This preload eliminates internal clearance, enhancing system stiffness and rotational accuracy.
- P4A: Represents a very high tolerance class superior to ABEC 7 (P4), ensuring extremely tight dimensional and running accuracy limits.
7038 CDGA/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to P4A tolerance class with an Extra light preload, this bearing provides exceptional running accuracy and system stiffness, minimizing deflection under load.
- Optimized for High Speeds: The 15° contact angle and phenolic resin cage reduce friction and centrifugal forces, enabling a high limiting speed of 11,000 rpm. The open design facilitates efficient lubrication and cooling.
- Superior Load Capacity: Designed to handle combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. The high-grade chrome steel construction provides a dynamic load rating of 55,575 lbf and a static load rating of 68,625 lbf.
- Universal Matching Capability: The Universal Matchable (SU) feature allows for simplified installation and precise preload control when used in matched sets of 2, ensuring optimal performance in demanding applications.
