7204 CD/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7204 CD/P4A is a single row angular contact ball bearing designed for high-precision applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. Engineered to a P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, it delivers superior performance in managing combined loads, particularly axial loads in one direction. Its compact design, featuring a 20 mm bore and 47 mm outside diameter, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-speed spindles and precision machinery where reliability is paramount.
7204 CD/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7204 | Basic series code for a single row angular contact ball bearing with a 20mm bore and 47mm OD. |
| C | Designates a 15° contact angle, optimized for high-speed operation. |
| D | Indicates the bearing is part of a matched pair (duplex set) for preload applications. |
| P4A | Specifies the tolerance class P4 (ABEC-7) with specific dimensional and running accuracy requirements. |
7204 CD/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: The 15° contact angle and P4 precision ensure minimal deflection and superior running accuracy, which is critical for machine tool spindles.
- Optimized for High Speeds: The lightweight phenolic resin cage reduces centrifugal forces, enabling a high limiting speed of 53,000 rpm.
- Superior Load Capacity: The optimized internal geometry and high-grade chrome steel construction provide a high dynamic load rating for demanding applications.
- Preload Ready: Designed as part of a matched arrangement (D suffix), this bearing can be preloaded in pairs to eliminate axial play and achieve maximum system stiffness.
