71815 CD/HCP4 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71815 CD/HCP4 is a single-row angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding high precision and superior performance. Its defining feature is the ability to accommodate combined loads—significant radial loads and axial loads in one direction simultaneously. Manufactured to P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this bearing ensures exceptional running accuracy, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and other precision machinery. The combination of a ceramic ball material and a phenolic cage contributes to its high-speed capability and reduced weight.
71815 CD/HCP4 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 71815: The basic bearing designation, indicating a metric, single-row angular contact ball bearing with a 75mm bore, 95mm OD, and 10mm width.
- CD: Signifies a 15° contact angle and that the bearing is supplied with a specific preload for optimal rigidity and rotational accuracy.
- HCP4: A composite suffix where:
- HC: Indicates the use of Hybrid Ceramic balls (steel rings with ceramic balls).
- P4: Denotes the tolerance class, equivalent to ABEC-7, ensuring very tight dimensional and running accuracy.
71815 CD/HCP4 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Performance: The hybrid ceramic construction (steel rings, ceramic balls) significantly reduces centrifugal forces and friction, enabling a high limiting speed of 24,000 rpm. The lightweight phenolic cage is optimized for these demanding conditions.
- High Rigidity & Precision: The bearing is supplied with a factory-set preload, which minimizes axial and radial play. This results in high system rigidity, reduced vibration, and exceptional positional accuracy, which is critical for machine tool spindles.
- Superior Load Capacity: Designed with a 15° contact angle, it efficiently handles combined loads, offering a dynamic load rating of 3218 lbf and a static load rating of 3825 lbf.
- Reduced Weight & Thermal Stability: Ceramic balls are lighter than steel, reducing the overall bearing weight (0.13 kg) and inertia. The phenolic cage offers excellent dimensional stability across the operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
