S7208 CD/HCP4A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The S7208 CD/HCP4A is a high-precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional accuracy and reliability. This single-row bearing features a 15° contact angle and is supplied with a preload, delivering superior rotational accuracy, high rigidity, and excellent performance under combined radial and axial loads. Manufactured to P4 (ABEC-7) tolerance class and utilizing ceramic balls, it is optimized for high-speed operation and extended service life in challenging environments.
S7208 CD/HCP4A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| S7208 | Basic bearing series designation, indicating a metric angular contact ball bearing with a 40mm bore and 80mm outside diameter. |
| CD | Indicates a specific internal design and preload level for high rigidity and precise shaft positioning. |
| HC | Signifies the use of Hybrid Ceramic components (ceramic balls with steel rings). |
| P4 | Denotes a high-precision tolerance class equivalent to ABEC-7, ensuring minimal runout and vibration. |
| A | Specifies a 30° contact angle (Note: Product data indicates 15°, this may be a specific variant designation). |
S7208 CD/HCP4A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Hybrid Ceramic Construction: The combination of chrome steel rings and silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic balls significantly reduces friction, heat generation, and wear. This construction enables higher limiting speeds, provides electrical insulation, and offers superior performance in lubricant-starved conditions.
High Rigidity & Preload: The CD preload eliminates internal clearance, resulting in increased system stiffness, precise shaft guidance, and reduced noise and vibration levels during operation.
Optimized High-Speed Performance: The phenolic resin cage is lightweight and possesses excellent sliding properties, contributing to lower centrifugal forces and stable operation at the high limiting speed of 22,000 rpm.
Sealed & Lubricated for Life: As a sealed bearing pre-filled with high-performance grease, it is protected from contamination and is lubricated for life, reducing maintenance requirements. The specified temperature range of -30°C to 110°C ensures reliable performance in various operating environments.
S7208 CD/HCP4A Bearing Typical Application Areas
