71918 CB/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71918 CB/P4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing engineered for high-precision applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. Operating under P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this bearing is designed to accommodate primarily axial loads in one direction and combined loads. Its 15° contact angle and preload availability deliver superior system stiffness and precise shaft positioning, making it an ideal solution for high-speed spindles and other demanding machinery where minimal runout and high reliability are critical.
71918 CB/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71918 | Basic bearing series and size designation (90mm bore, 125mm OD, 18mm width). |
| CB | Specific internal design and contact angle (15°) optimized for high rigidity and precise operation. |
| P4A | Indicates the tolerance class P4 (ABEC-7), denoting very high dimensional and running accuracy for precision applications. |
71918 CB/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Precision: The single-row angular contact design with a defined contact angle and available preload provides excellent axial and radial stiffness, minimizing deflection under load for superior machining accuracy.
- Optimized Load Capacity: Engineered to handle significant axial loads in one direction and combined (radial and axial) loads, thanks to the optimized raceway geometry and high-grade chrome steel construction.
- High-Speed Capability: The lightweight phenolic resin cage ensures stability and low friction at the limiting speed of 22,000 rpm, reducing centrifugal forces and heat generation.
- Precision-Grade Performance: Manufactured to P4 tolerance class, this bearing guarantees tight dimensional control and minimal runout, which is essential for applications like machine tool spindles.
