7218 ACD/P4AQBCB Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7218 ACD/P4AQBCB is a precision quadruplex angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional rigidity and load capacity. This matched set of four bearings is arranged in a back-to-back (QBC) configuration, enabling it to withstand combined radial and axial loads from both directions simultaneously. Manufactured to P4A tolerance class with a light preload (Class B), it delivers high running accuracy, excellent rotational stability, and is optimized for high-speed operation up to 17,000 rpm. Its compact design integrates the performance of four bearings into a single, highly rigid unit.

7218 ACD/P4AQBCB Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Unmatched Rigidity and Stability: The quadruplex back-to-back (QBC) arrangement creates an extremely rigid bearing system that effectively resists moment loads and shaft deflection, which is critical for maintaining precision under heavy combined loads.
- Superior Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 73,125 lbf and a static load rating of 95,625 lbf, this bearing set is engineered to handle significant radial and bidirectional axial loads simultaneously, thanks to the optimized 25° contact angle.
- High-Speed Capability: The use of a lightweight, durable phenolic cage and the precision P4A grading contribute to smooth operation and a high limiting speed of 17,000 rpm, reducing friction and heat generation.
- Pre-Configured for Performance: The set comes as a matched quadruplex with a light preload (Class B) applied, eliminating complex mounting procedures and ensuring immediate, optimal performance with reduced noise and vibration.
7218 ACD/P4AQBCB Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Machine Tool Spindles: High-speed milling, grinding, and turning centers.
- Precision Gearboxes: Especially in wind turbines and industrial power transmission systems.
- High-Frequency Machining Centers: Where minimal runout and high dynamic stability are required.
