71904 ACD/P4ADBC Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71904 ACD/P4ADBC is a precision angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. This duplex back-to-back (DB) arrangement comes pre-matched and preloaded (Moderate / Class C), delivering superior performance in handling combined loads—simultaneously managing radial forces and thrust loads in both directions. Manufactured to P4A tolerance class, it ensures minimal runout and vibration, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and other high-precision machinery. Its compact design, with a 20 mm bore and 37 mm outside diameter, offers a space-saving solution without compromising on performance or load capacity.

71904 ACD/P4ADBC Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Stability: The duplex back-to-back (DB) configuration creates a wide, rigid support system that effectively resists moment loads and shaft deflection, ensuring exceptional operational stability.
- Superior Load Capacity: With a 25° contact angle and a dynamic load rating of 2106 lbf, this bearing is engineered to handle significant combined radial and axial loads from both directions simultaneously.
- Optimized High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic resin cage minimizes centrifugal forces, while the precision-ground chrome steel components and optimized internal geometry contribute to a high limiting speed of 100,500 rpm.
- Pre-Configured for Precision: The factory-applied moderate preload (Class C) eliminates internal clearance, reducing axial and radial play for immediate high-accuracy performance upon installation, which is critical for machine tool spindles.
- Pre-Lubricated for Immediate Service: The bearing is supplied lubricated, ready for immediate installation and initial operation within its specified temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
