71918 CD/P4ATBTA Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71918 CD/P4ATBTA is a metric, ultra-precision angular contact ball bearing designed for the most demanding applications. This bearing is supplied as a triplex back-to-back (TBT) matched set with an extra light preload (Class A), delivering exceptional rotational accuracy and system rigidity. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to handle combined loads—significant radial and axial loads in both directions—simultaneously. Manufactured to a P4A tolerance class, it is engineered for high-speed operation, superior running accuracy, and long-term reliability in precision machinery.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71918 | Basic bearing series and size designation (90mm bore, 125mm OD, 54mm width). |
| CD | Specifies a 15° contact angle, optimized for high-speed performance and moderate axial load capacity. |
| P4A | Indicates an ultra-precision tolerance class with enhanced running accuracy and dimensional stability. |
| TB | Denotes the bearing arrangement as a Triplex Back-to-Back (TBT) matched set. |
| TA | Identifies the specific preload level as Extra Light (Class A). |
71918 CD/P4ATBTA Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The triplex back-to-back arrangement creates an extremely rigid bearing system that can withstand high combined radial and axial loads from multiple directions, minimizing shaft deflection under operation.
- Precision & High-Speed Performance: The P4A tolerance class ensures minimal runout and vibration. Combined with the 15° contact angle and a lightweight, high-strength phenolic cage, the bearing achieves a high limiting speed of 15,000 rpm with smooth, stable operation.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: The bearing features 26 precision-ground chrome steel balls of 11.112 mm diameter, contributing to its high dynamic and static load ratings (22,725 lbf and 34,425 lbf respectively).
- Pre-lubricated & Ready for Installation: The bearing comes lubricated from the factory, simplifying installation and ensuring immediate, reliable performance within its specified temperature range.
