The S71914 CE/P4ADT is a super precision angular contact ball bearing with a 70mm bore and 100mm outer diameter, crafted from durable chrome steel. It handles radial loads up to 8055 lbf and operates smoothly at high speeds up to 28,000 RPM.
Its sealed design keeps grease in and contaminants out, while the phenolic cage ensures quiet, long-lasting performance. The 15° contact angle and matched arrangement (2 bearings << DT) provide excellent stability for angular loads. This bearing is ideal for precision applications like machine tool spindles or high-speed robotics, where accuracy and reliability are key. It works well in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C and comes preloaded for immediate use. Weighing 0.65kg, it’s a robust yet manageable size. Compliant with P4A tolerance standards, it’s interchangeable with SKF bearings for easy replacements.
