71918 CDGC/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71918 CDGC/P4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding high precision and superior running accuracy. Operating under a Moderate (Class C) preload, this bearing is designed to primarily accommodate high axial loads in one direction while also supporting significant radial loads. Its P4A tolerance class ensures exceptional dimensional and rotational precision, making it ideal for high-speed spindles and other precision machinery. The bearing is Universal Matchable (SU), allowing for precise axial clearance adjustment when mounted in sets, which is critical for achieving optimal system rigidity and performance.
71918 CDGC/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71918 | Basic bearing designation indicating a lightweight, high-precision series with a 90mm bore, 125mm OD, and 18mm width. |
| C | Specifies a 15° contact angle, optimized for high axial load capacity. |
| DG | Indicates a Universal Matchable (SU) bearing. Two bearings can be paired face-to-face, back-to-back, or in tandem to form a matched set. |
| C | Denotes a Moderate preload (Class C), providing enhanced rigidity for the application. |
| P4A | Signifies an ABEC 7 / ISO P4 tolerance class with additional running accuracy requirements, ensuring minimal vibration and high-speed capability. |
71918 CDGC/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision and Rigidity: The P4A tolerance class and Moderate preload work in concert to deliver exceptional running accuracy and system stiffness, minimizing deflection under load.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The 15° contact angle is engineered to handle high axial loads efficiently while maintaining a robust radial load rating (10,688 lbf dynamic).
- High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic resin cage reduces centrifugal forces, contributing to a high limiting speed of 15,000 rpm. The open design facilitates efficient lubrication and cooling.
- Matched Set Versatility: As a Universal Matchable (SU) bearing, it can be supplied in pre-matched sets (typically 3 bearings) to create a defined preload or clearance, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent, predictable performance.
- Premium Materials: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, ensuring high durability, wear resistance, and a long operational lifespan.
71918 CDGC/P4A Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Machine Tool Spindles: High-speed machining centers, grinding spindles, and CNC lathes.
- Precision Rotary Systems: Industrial robots, rotary tables, and indexing heads.
- High-Speed Motors and Drives: Electric spindles and high-frequency motor applications.
