71908 CD/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71908 CD/P4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding high precision and exceptional rotational accuracy. Operating under the P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this bearing is designed to handle significant combined loads, including high radial loads and unidirectional axial loads, thanks to its 15° contact angle. Its compact cross-section, phenolic cage, and preload availability make it an ideal solution for high-speed spindles and other precision machinery where rigidity and minimal runout are critical.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71908 | Basic bearing designation, indicating a metric, single-row angular contact ball bearing with a 40mm bore. |
| C | Denotes a 15° contact angle, optimized for high-speed operation and high radial load capacity. |
| D | Indicates the bearing is manufactured for a matched arrangement (in this case, a single bearing supplied pre-loaded). |
| P4A | Specifies the tolerance class P4 (ABEC-7), ensuring extremely tight dimensional and running accuracy for precision applications. |
71908 CD/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to P4 tolerance class, this bearing guarantees minimal runout and high system rigidity, which is essential for applications like machine tool spindles.
- Optimized High-Speed Performance: The phenolic resin cage offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing centrifugal forces and enabling a high limiting speed of 34,000 rpm. The 15° contact angle further supports stable operation at high rotational speeds.
- Superior Load Capacity: The optimized internal geometry and use of chrome steel for rings and balls provide a high dynamic load rating of 2790 lbf and static load rating of 1912 lbf, enabling it to withstand significant combined loads.
- Preload Availability: The bearing is supplied with a preload, which increases system stiffness, improves rotational accuracy, and extends bearing life by minimizing axial and radial play.
