71920 ACE/HCP4ADT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71920 ACE/HCP4ADT is a duplex tandem (DT) arrangement of two super-precision angular contact ball bearings. This configuration is engineered to deliver exceptional axial rigidity and is optimized for applications requiring the highest levels of rotational accuracy and dimensional stability. Preloaded from the manufacturer, this matched set is ready for installation, ensuring reliable performance in demanding, high-speed environments.
71920 ACE/HCP4ADT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| 71920 | Basic bearing series and size designation (Bore: 100mm, OD: 140mm, Width: 20mm per bearing). |
| ACE | A: 25° contact angle. C: Ceramic balls (Silicon Nitride). E: Optimized internal geometry for high-speed operation. |
| HC | Phenolic (Polyamide) cage. This lightweight, robust cage material is ideal for high-speed applications. |
| P4A | Indicates an ultra-high precision tolerance class (superior to ABEC 7/ISO P4), ensuring minimal runout and vibration. |
| DT | Duplex Tandem arrangement. Two bearings are mounted together to share the load and provide maximum axial load capacity in one direction. |
71920 ACE/HCP4ADT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Super-Precision & High Rigidity: The P4A tolerance class and duplex tandem preload deliver exceptional running accuracy and system stiffness, critical for minimizing deflection under heavy loads.
- Enhanced High-Speed Capability: The combination of ceramic balls (lower density, reduced centrifugal force) and a lightweight phenolic cage allows for a very high limiting speed of 15,000 rpm.
- Superior Load Capacity: The 25° contact angle and tandem arrangement are specifically designed to handle significant axial loads while also supporting substantial radial loads.
- Reduced Friction and Heat Generation: Ceramic balls have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and superior lubrication properties compared to steel, leading to lower operating temperatures and longer lubricant life.
- Pre-Lubricated for Immediate Use: The bearings are factory-lubricated, ensuring optimal performance from the first rotation and simplifying the installation process.
