71918 ACDGC/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71918 ACDGC/P4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. Engineered with a 25° contact angle and Moderate (Class C) preload, this bearing excels at handling combined loads—simultaneously supporting substantial radial and axial forces. Its P4A tolerance class ensures ultra-precise dimensions and running accuracy, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and precision machinery where minimal runout and high system rigidity are critical.

| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| AC | Angular Contact design with a 25° contact angle, optimized for combined loads. |
| D | High ball count and optimized internal geometry for increased load capacity. |
| GC | Specific internal clearance and preload grouping for Moderate (Class C) preload. |
| P4A | Super-precision tolerance class, exceeding ABEC 7 standards, for exceptional running accuracy and low vibration. |
71918 ACDGC/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The angular contact design and 25° contact angle provide superior stiffness, effectively resisting deflection under combined radial and axial loads. With a dynamic load rating of 9945 lbf and static rating of 10800 lbf, it offers reliable performance in strenuous conditions.
- Precision & Speed Performance: Manufactured to P4A tolerance class with tight dimensional controls (bore/OD tolerance: -0.004mm to 0), this bearing ensures minimal vibration and high positional accuracy. The phenolic cage contributes to lower friction and higher limiting speeds (15,000 rpm), suitable for high-speed applications.
- Optimized for Matched Sets: Designated as Universal Matchable (SU), this bearing can be supplied in pre-matched sets (typically 3 bearings) to achieve specific preload and stiffness characteristics when mounted in pairs or triples, simplifying installation and enhancing system performance.
- Material & Construction: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, ensuring high durability and wear resistance. The open seal type allows for custom lubrication schemes to optimize performance for specific operational temperatures (-30°C to 110°C).
