Product Overview and Core Advantages
The 71936 CD/HCP4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. This single-row bearing is distinguished by its 15° contact angle and is supplied with a preload, making it ideal for setups where minimal axial and radial deflection under load is critical. Its construction with a phenolic cage and ceramic balls enables superior high-speed performance and reduced rotating mass. The bearing is pre-lubricated and operates effectively within a wide temperature range, offering a reliable, long-service-life solution for precision machinery.
71936 CD/HCP4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 71936: Basic designation indicating a metric, light series angular contact ball bearing with a 180mm bore and 250mm outside diameter.
- CD: Signifies a duplex arrangement with a specific preload level (not explicitly "matched" in the spec, but a standard duplex pairing designation).
- HCP4A: A composite suffix.
- HC: Denotes the use of Hybrid Ceramic balls (Silicon Nitride).
- P4: Specifies a high-precision tolerance class (equivalent to ABEC-7), ensuring extremely tight dimensional and running accuracy.
- A: Indicates a 30° contact angle (Note: The provided specification lists 15°. The "A" suffix is a common industry designation for a 30° angle. Please verify the exact contact angle for your application).
Structural Features and Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: Manufactured to a P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this bearing ensures exceptional running accuracy and system stability, which is crucial for applications like machine tool spindles.
- Superior High-Speed Capability: The combination of a lightweight phenolic resin cage and low-density, hard ceramic (Si3N4) balls significantly reduces centrifugal forces, allowing for higher limiting speeds (9,500 rpm) and lower operating temperatures.
- Extended Service Life and Reliability: Ceramic balls are electrically resistant, harder, and smoother than steel, leading to dramatically reduced wear, longer lubricant life, and enhanced performance in challenging environments.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The angular contact design is optimized to support combined loads, carrying significant radial loads and thrust loads in one direction simultaneously.
