71940 CD/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71940 CD/HCP4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications demanding exceptional accuracy and performance. This single bearing features a 15° contact angle and is supplied with a preload, delivering superior rotational accuracy, high system rigidity, and precise axial positioning. Its construction with a phenolic cage and ceramic balls enables outstanding high-speed capabilities, reaching a limiting speed of 8,500 rpm. Designed to handle combined loads, this bearing is an ideal solution for high-reliability, high-rigidity applications.
71940 CD/HCP4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 71940 | Basic bearing series and size designation. |
| CD | Indicates a 15° contact angle and a specific internal design optimized for high rigidity and preload. |
| HC | Signifies the use of Hybrid Ceramic balls (ceramic balls with steel rings). |
| P4 | Denotes a high-precision tolerance class (ABEC-7 / ISO P4), ensuring minimal runout and vibration. |
| A | Confirms the bearing is supplied with a preload for immediate high-stiffness operation. |
71940 CD/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: The angular contact design with a 15° contact angle and factory-applied preload provides exceptional system stiffness and minimizes axial and radial deflection under load, crucial for precision machinery.
- Superior High-Speed Performance: The combination of a lightweight phenolic resin cage and low-density ceramic (hybrid) balls reduces centrifugal forces, enabling stable operation at the high limiting speed of 8,500 rpm.
- Extended Service Life and Reliability: Ceramic balls are harder, lighter, and offer superior resistance to wear and degradation. They also provide better performance in marginal lubrication conditions, contributing to a longer bearing service life.
- High Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 46,800 lbf and a static load rating of 59,625 lbf, this bearing is capable of handling significant combined radial and axial loads.
