71948 CD/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 71948 CD/HCP4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. This single-row bearing features a 15° contact angle and is supplied with a preload, making it ideal for setups where minimal shaft deflection and high system stiffness are critical. Its construction with a phenolic cage and ceramic balls contributes to lower friction, higher limiting speeds, and superior performance in high-speed operations. The bearing is pre-lubricated and operates effectively within a wide temperature range, offering reliable service in precision machinery.
71948 CD/HCP4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| CD | Indicates a high-precision duplex bearing arrangement with a specific preload and contact angle optimization for high rigidity and accuracy. |
| HC | Signifies the use of Hybrid Ceramic balls (Silicon Nitride), which reduce weight, centrifugal force, and heat generation, enabling higher speeds. |
| P4 | Denotes an ultra-precision tolerance class (ABEC-7 / ISO P4), ensuring extremely tight dimensional and running accuracy for critical applications. |
| A | Specifies a 30° contact angle (Note: The provided spec indicates 15°. In this context, 'A' may refer to a standard angular contact design with a specific preload or internal geometry). |
71948 CD/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: The angular contact design combined with a preload ensures maximum system stiffness and precise shaft positioning, minimizing runout under load.
