Full Product Attributes

Contact form: two-point contact

Number of rows: 1 (single bearing)

Duplex capable: Yes, back-to-back (<>), face-to-face (><), tandem (>>)

Factory pre-assembled duplex set: Not supplied (loose single unit)

Precision class: P4A precision grade

Material: Full high-carbon chromium bearing steel (all-steel bearing)

Seal: Open type, no seal

Note: The 25° contact angle delivers outstanding axial load capacity for conditions with cutting axial thrust and radial loads. All-steel construction possesses good toughness and slight impact resistance with favorable cost performance. DT grade undergoes face height sorting, ensuring good consistency after duplex assembly and simplifying on-site preload adjustment. Supplied as loose singles for flexible duplex spindle layout design. Open structure eliminates seal drag and fits oil-air lubrication system. Independent lubrication system and external dust protection are mandatory. Use same-batch DT grade bearings for duplex assembly to minimize height deviation.

2 Structure & Operating Characteristics

Japan NMT 7010 ACD/P4ADT is a size 7010 high-speed precision all-steel angular contact ball bearing. Inner rings, outer rings and steel balls are ultra-precision ground from premium bearing steel. The 25° contact angle reinforces axial load capacity to steadily withstand combined radial and axial loads. Adopting DT face height sorting process, single bearings feature consistent end dimension, convenient for on-site duplex matching.

Supplied as non-pre-matched single bearings, multiple duplex layouts including DB, DF and tandem are optional. Technicians achieve precise preload setting with spacers and shims. The low-friction open bearing is widely equipped on machining center spindles, high-speed engraving & milling spindles, precision grinding spindles and other machinery.

3 Core Performance Advantages

1. 25° contact angle: Excellent axial load capacity to sustain combined radial and axial cutting loads.

2. All-steel construction: Good toughness, slight impact resistance, high cost performance and stable spare parts supply.

3. P4A precision grade: Strict rotary runout control to maintain long-term machining accuracy.

4. DT face-height sorted duplex-capable single bearing: Consistent end dimension, easy on-site duplex matching and lower vibration.

5. Open unsealed structure: Free of seal resistance loss, fully compatible with oil-air high-speed lubrication.

5 Assembly Specifications & Usage Guidelines

5.1 Assembly Environment & Operation Standards

P4A precision bearings must be assembled in dust-free clean environment. Remove all burrs and metal debris from shaft and housing mating surfaces. Controlled thermal mounting is recommended. Never strike bearing rings or steel balls directly. Select same-batch DT grade bearings for duplex assembly to reduce face height difference.

5.2 Matching & Preload Instructions

No factory duplex assembly. All duplex layouts and target preload are set on-site with spacers and shims. DT sorting grade serves only as selection reference. Measure spindle axial rigidity and vibration after assembly to verify actual preload state. Avoid excessive preload which causes overheating and premature bearing fatigue failure.

5.3 Lubrication Matching Solutions

No pre-filled lubricant. Special high-speed spindle grease suits intermittent high-speed operation. Oil-air lubrication is preferred for continuous long-running high-speed applications to remove friction heat efficiently. Do not mix lubricants of different brands or models. Inspect lubrication pipelines regularly.

5.4 Speed Parameter Note

Obtain official load ratings and limiting speed data from SKF. Its maximum DN value is lower than hybrid ceramic bearings of the same specification. Maintain adequate safety margin based on load and cooling conditions; reduce operating speed under heavy load.

6 Daily Maintenance & Fault Troubleshooting

Perform multi-stage low-speed running-in after assembly. Gradually increase rotating speed to rated value only after temperature rise and vibration stabilize. Open bearings have no built-in dust shield; labyrinth or air curtain dust-proof device must be installed on equipment.

Sustain continuous and stable lubrication; dry friction operation is prohibited. In case of abnormal temperature rise, abnormal noise or sharp vibration growth, check lubrication supply, mounting coaxiality, preload shim thickness, operating load and integrity of dust protection sequentially.
