71904 CD/PA9ADGA Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71904 CD/PA9ADGA is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional accuracy and reliability. Engineered to accommodate combined loads (simultaneous radial and axial loads), this bearing features a 15° contact angle and universal matchable (SU) design, allowing two bearings to be paired in a back-to-back or face-to-face arrangement for enhanced system rigidity. Manufactured to an ultra-precise PA9A tolerance class with an extra light preload (Class A), it delivers superior running accuracy and is optimized for high-speed operation up to 100,000 rpm.
71904 CD/PA9ADGA Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71904 | Basic bearing series and size designation (20mm bore, 37mm OD, 18mm width). |
| CD | Indicates a universal matchable design with a 15° contact angle. Two CD-designated bearings can be universally paired. |
| PA9A | Specifies the high-precision tolerance class (PA9A) and the extra light preload (Class A). |
| DGA | Denotes the use of a phenolic resin cage, which is lightweight and ideal for high-speed applications, contributing to lower centrifugal forces and reduced friction. |
71904 CD/PA9ADGA Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The angular contact design and universal matching capability (SU) enable the bearing to handle significant combined radial and axial loads. When mounted in pairs, they create a highly rigid bearing system that minimizes deflection under load.
- Superior High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic cage (DGA) reduces inertial forces, while the optimized internal geometry and 15° contact angle work in concert to support extremely high rotational speeds, with a limiting speed of 100,000 rpm.
- Ultra-Precision Operation: Manufactured to the stringent PA9A tolerance class with tight bore, outside diameter, and width tolerances, this bearing ensures minimal runout and vibration for applications demanding the highest levels of precision.
- Optimized for Preload: The extra light preload (Class A) eliminates internal clearance, increases system stiffness, and improves rotational accuracy without generating excessive heat or friction.
