718/5AC Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row design provides superior radial and axial stiffness, enabling stable performance under combined loads. The 25° contact angle is optimized for supporting significant axial loads in both directions.
- Precision & High-Speed Performance: Manufactured to ABEC P5/P4 precision grades, this bearing ensures minimal runout and vibration. Options for nylon or phenolic cages contribute to lower friction, reduced weight, and suitability for high-speed applications.
- Material & Configuration Flexibility: The availability of steel or ceramic balls allows for selection based on speed, stiffness, and corrosion resistance requirements. The bearing is Universal Matchable (SU), allowing two bearings to be paired for optimized preload and performance.
- Versatile Lubrication & Sealing: The lubricated and optional sealed versions ensure long-term, maintenance-free operation by retaining lubricant and excluding contaminants.
