71908/VA9D1 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71908/VA9D1 is a precision angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. Engineered to a P4 tolerance class, this bearing excels in handling combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. Its single-row design with a 25° contact angle is optimized for high-speed operation, with a limiting speed of 41,000 rpm. The bearing comes pre-lubricated and is part of a Universal Matchable (SU) set, allowing for precise preload configuration when mounted in pairs, making it an ideal solution for high-reliability, high-precision machinery.
71908/VA9D1 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 71908 | Basic bearing series and size code | Indicates a metric, single-row angular contact bearing with a 40mm bore, 62mm OD, and 12mm width. |
| VA9 | Preload designation | Specifies a light preload category, enhancing rigidity and minimizing deflection under operational loads. |
| D1 | Internal clearance / matching group | Identifies the bearing as part of a Universal Matchable (SU) set, ensuring predictable performance when paired. |
71908/VA9D1 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to P4 tolerance with a phenolic resin cage, this bearing ensures minimal runout and stable operation under high-speed and combined loads, providing superior system stiffness.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The 25° contact angle is engineered to efficiently support significant axial loads in one direction alongside radial loads, making it suitable for applications with demanding combined load requirements.
- Superior High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic cage and optimized internal geometry contribute to low friction and low heat generation, enabling a high limiting speed of 41,000 rpm.
- Universal Matching Capability: As a Universal Matchable (SU) bearing, it can be paired with another identical bearing to create a preloaded set (DB, DF, or DT arrangement), simplifying assembly and ensuring consistent, high-performance operation.
