The 71824 ACD/P4DBA is a super precision angular contact ball bearing with a 120mm bore and 150mm outer diameter, crafted from high-quality chrome steel. Its 25° contact angle and matched pair design (DB arrangement) ensure smooth handling of combined radial and axial loads.
With a dynamic radial load capacity of 11408 lbf and speeds up to 16250 RPM, it performs reliably in demanding conditions. The phenolic resin cage reduces friction, while the open design allows for easy lubrication.
This P4-class bearing offers extra-light preload for precise operation, ideal for high-accuracy applications like machine tool spindles or precision gearboxes. It operates in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C.
Weighing 1.1kg per bearing, the set comes as a matched pair for balanced performance. Interchangeable with SKF equivalents, it’s a practical choice for maintenance or upgrades.
