71916 ACE/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71916 ACE/HCP4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing engineered for high-precision applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and speed capability. This metric-series bearing features a 25° contact angle and is supplied with a preload, delivering superior axial rigidity and precise shaft positioning. Manufactured to P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, it guarantees minimal runout and consistent performance. The combination of a ceramic ball and phenolic cage enables outstanding high-speed performance, with a limiting speed of 27,000 rpm, making it ideal for demanding spindle and machine tool applications.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71916 | Basic bearing series and size designation (80mm bore, 110mm OD, 16mm width) |
| ACE | Specific internal design with a 25° contact angle and optimized internal geometry |
| HC | Hybrid Ceramic: Features ceramic balls (typically silicon nitride) for reduced density, lower centrifugal forces, and higher speed capability |
| P4 | Dimensional and running accuracy per ISO P4 tolerance class (equivalent to ABEC-7) |
71916 ACE/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The hybrid ceramic design with silicon nitride balls significantly reduces centrifugal forces and friction, while the lightweight phenolic resin cage ensures stability and low inertia at ultra-high speeds up to 27,000 rpm.
- High Rigidity & Precision: The 25° contact angle and factory-applied preload provide excellent axial stiffness, minimizing deflection under load and ensuring precise rotational accuracy for critical spindle applications.
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to support combined loads (simultaneous radial and axial forces), with a dynamic load rating of 4860 lbf and a static load rating of 3825 lbf.
- Thermal Stability: The phenolic cage and ceramic balls offer superior performance across the specified temperature range (-30°C to 110°C) with reduced thermal expansion compared to all-steel designs.
- Pre-Lubricated: Comes lubricated from the factory for immediate operation, suitable for the specified speed and temperature range.
