7221 CD/P4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7221 CD/P4A is a single-row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications demanding high precision and exceptional rotational accuracy. Manufactured to P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this bearing is preloaded and optimized to handle significant combined loads, accommodating both high radial and one-directional axial loads simultaneously. Its phenolic resin cage and precision-ground components contribute to smooth, high-speed operation, making it an ideal choice for high-performance spindles and precision machinery where rigidity and accuracy are paramount.
7221 CD/P4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7221 | Basic bearing series, indicating a 105 mm bore, 190 mm OD, and 36 mm width. |
| CD | Signifies a specific contact angle of 15° and optimized internal design for high rigidity. |
| P4A | Denotes a high-precision tolerance class (equivalent to ABEC-7) and includes specific running accuracy requirements. |
7221 CD/P4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Precision: The 15° contact angle and P4 precision grading ensure minimal runout and high system stiffness, which is critical for maintaining accuracy under load.
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to support high radial dynamic load ratings of 38,700 lbf and static load ratings of 34,425 lbf, effectively managing combined radial and axial loads.
- Optimized High-Speed Performance: The lightweight phenolic resin cage reduces centrifugal forces, enabling stable operation at limiting speeds up to 12,000 rpm.
- Pre-Lubricated and Open Design: Comes pre-lubricated for immediate use and features an open design, allowing for customized re-lubrication strategies to suit specific operational environments within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
