7226 CD/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7226 CD/HCP4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional rotational accuracy and rigidity. Designed as a single matched arrangement with P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class, this bearing delivers superior performance in high-speed spindle systems. Its 15° contact angle is optimized to handle significant combined loads, efficiently supporting both radial and axial forces. The use of ceramic balls and a phenolic cage contributes to reduced friction, lower operating temperatures, and extended service life, making it an ideal solution for high-reliability, precision machinery.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7226 | Basic bearing series and size designation (130mm bore, 230mm OD, 40mm width). |
| CD | Indicates a specific contact angle (15°) and internal design optimized for high rigidity and precise operation. |
| HC | Signifies the use of Hybrid Ceramic components (ceramic balls with steel rings). |
| P4 | Denotes the P4 tolerance class (equivalent to ABEC-7), ensuring ultra-precise running accuracy. |
| A | Indicates that the bearing is supplied with a specific preload for immediate high-stability performance. |
7226 CD/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Precision: The single matched arrangement with a 15° contact angle and P4 precision provides exceptional dimensional stability and minimizes runout, which is critical for high-speed applications.
- Enhanced Speed & Temperature Performance: The combination of ceramic balls (lower density, reduced centrifugal force) and a phenolic resin cage allows for a limiting speed of 11,000 rpm. This hybrid construction also reduces heat generation and can operate within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
- Superior Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 48,600 lbf and a static load rating of 50,400 lbf, this bearing is built to withstand significant combined radial and axial loads.
- Optimized for Preload: The bearing is supplied with a preload, ensuring immediate high stiffness and positional accuracy without the need for initial adjustment, simplifying installation and improving machine performance from startup.
7226 CD/HCP4A Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Machine Tool Spindles: High-speed milling, grinding, and turning centers.
- Precision Robotics: Arm joints and rotary actuators requiring high positional accuracy.
- High-Frequency Motors and Spindles: Applications in PCB drilling and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Aerospace & Defense Systems: Gyroscopes, radar platforms, and other critical rotational mechanisms.
