7216 CD/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7216 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, ensuring minimal axial and radial play for superior system stability. Its construction with ceramic balls and a phenolic cage enables outstanding high-speed performance, with a limiting speed of 18,000 rpm. Designed to handle combined loads, it is an ideal solution for high-rigidity, high-reliability spindle and precision machinery applications.
7216 CD/HCP4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| CD | Indicates a high rigidity, duplex arrangement with a specific preload. This bearing is supplied as a matched set (in this case, a single bearing pre-configured for duplex mounting). |
| HC | Signifies the use of Hybrid Ceramic balls, which are lighter and harder than steel, reducing centrifugal force and enabling higher speeds and longer service life. |
| P4 | Denotes a super-precision tolerance class (equivalent to ABEC-7), ensuring extremely tight dimensional and running accuracy for critical applications. |
| A | Specifies a 30° contact angle (Note: The provided spec shows 15°, this may be a specific variant. The 'A' typically denotes a standard 30° angle). |
7216 CD/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: The P4 tolerance class and applied preload eliminate internal clearance, providing high system stiffness and precise rotational accuracy critical for machining and positioning.
- Superior High-Speed Capability: The combination of hybrid ceramic balls and a lightweight phenolic resin cage significantly reduces rotating mass and friction, allowing it to achieve a high limiting speed of 18,000 rpm.
- Excellent Load Capacity: The angular contact design efficiently supports combined radial and axial loads. With a dynamic load rating of 19,170 lbf, it offers reliable performance under demanding conditions.
- Optimized for Performance: The open seal type allows for optimized lubrication flow, which is essential for heat dissipation in high-speed applications. The standard lubrication is suitable for a wide temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
7216 CD/HCP4A Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Machine Tool Spindles: For CNC milling centers, grinding machines, and lathes requiring high speed and rigidity.
- High-Speed Motors and Spindles: Used in electric motors, precision spindles, and turbo-machinery.
- Precision Robotics: In robotic arm joints and actuators where accuracy and responsiveness are paramount.
- Aerospace and Defense Systems: For gyroscopes, radar systems, and other critical rotating assemblies.
