The S71911 ACEGA/P4A is a super precision angular contact ball bearing with a 55mm bore and 80mm outer diameter, crafted from high-quality chrome steel. Its compact 13mm width makes it suitable for space-sensitive applications.
With a 25° contact angle, it handles both radial and axial loads efficiently, supporting dynamic radial loads up to 3330 lbf. It spins smoothly at speeds up to 34,000 RPM, thanks to its phenolic cage and grease lubrication.
The sealed design keeps contaminants out, ensuring long-lasting performance in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C. Its P4A tolerance class guarantees exceptional precision for demanding tasks.
Ideal for high-speed applications like machine tool spindles or precision instruments. The bearing is interchangeable with SKF models and comes in a universal matching set for flexible mounting options (back-to-back, face-to-face, or tandem). Weighing just 0.17kg, it balances lightweight design with robust performance.
