71820 CD/P4DGC Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71820 CD/P4DGC is a precision angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding high rotational accuracy and rigidity. As a universally matchable (SU) bearing supplied in a pre-loaded pair, it excels at handling combined loads—simultaneously supporting substantial radial loads and axial loads in one direction. Its P4 tolerance class ensures exceptional dimensional and running accuracy, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and other high-precision machinery. The phenolic cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to smooth operation at the specified limiting speed.
71820 CD/P4DGC Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| CD | Indicates a universal matchable bearing designed with a specific contact angle and internal clearance for pairing. Two bearings can be mounted in a back-to-back (DB), face-to-face (DF), or tandem (DT) arrangement to achieve the required rigidity and load capacity. |
| P4 | Denotes a high-precision tolerance class per ISO standards. This ensures very tight limits on bore diameter, outside diameter, and width, as well as superior running accuracy for applications requiring minimal vibration and high-speed performance. |
| DGC | Signifies a Moderate preload / Class C. This preload eliminates internal clearance, increasing bearing rigidity and shaft positioning accuracy, which is critical for minimizing deflection under load in precision applications. |
71820 CD/P4DGC Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Load Capacity: The 15° contact angle and universal matchable (SU) design allow two bearings to be paired, creating a highly rigid system capable of supporting significant combined radial and axial loads.
- Precision High-Speed Operation: The lightweight phenolic resin cage ensures stability and low friction at high speeds, contributing to the bearing's high limiting speed. The P4 tolerance is fundamental to smooth, vibration-free running.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, the bearing features precisely sized and spaced balls to distribute loads evenly and ensure consistent performance.
- Ready-to-Install Matched Set: Supplied as a lubricated and pre-loaded pair, this bearing set simplifies installation and ensures immediate, optimal performance without the need for initial adjustment.
