The 7032 CD/P4ATBTB is a super precision angular contact ball bearing with a 160mm bore and 240mm outer diameter, measuring 114mm in width. Made from chrome steel, it’s built to handle heavy radial loads up to 93600 lbf and speeds up to 11000 RPM.
Its 15° contact angle and matched set of three bearings (arranged TBT) provide excellent stability under angular loads. The phenolic cage ensures smooth operation, while the open design allows for easy lubrication.
This bearing is ideal for high-precision applications like machine tool spindles or industrial gearboxes. Its P4A tolerance class guarantees consistent performance in demanding environments.
Weighing 15.4kg, it’s robust yet designed for precision. Compatible with SKF bearings, it’s a reliable choice for replacements or upgrades. Works well in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C.
Performance Features of 7032 CD/P4ATBTB Bearing
7032 CD/P4ATBTB Bearing is designed with a 15° contact angle, optimising load distribution for angular contact applications.
Its chrome steel rings and balls provide strong resistance to both dynamic and static radial loads, reaching 93,600 lbf and 147,375 lbf respectively.
The phenolic cage ensures smooth operation at high speeds, with a maximum speed of 11,000 rpm.
With a matched arrangement of three bearings, it offers enhanced stability and precision.
