Full Product Attributes

Contact form: Two-point contact

Number of rows: Single row, DF face-to-face factory matched pair

Pairing property: DGC factory pre-ground DF set, matched two bearings, do not split and mix with other bearings

Precision class: P4 super precision grade

Note: ACD outer-ring guided cage suits continuous operation with smooth lubricant flow. 25° AC contact angle provides higher axial load capacity than standard 20° version for heavy axial force applications. The main advantage of DGC matched set is factory pre-grinding and matching, greatly reducing on-site shim adjustment workload. DF face-to-face arrangement delivers shorter support span and superior axial rigidity, effectively restraining radial shaft deformation, while its resistance to overturning moment is weaker than DB layout. Suitable for conditions with minor overturning moment and heavy bidirectional axial loads. This all-steel bearing has no insulation property; hybrid ceramic version shall be adopted for built-in motor spindles exposed to shaft current erosion risk. Open construction eliminates seal drag heat and performs optimally with oil-air forced lubrication.

2 Structure & Operating Characteristics

Japan NMT 7014 ACD/P4ADGC is premium 25° contact angle all-steel super precision angular contact ball bearing set with DF face-to-face factory matching. Inner and outer rings adopt high-carbon chromium bearing steel with stabilized heat treatment and aging to eliminate internal processing stress; raceways undergo multi-stage ultra-precision mirror grinding with strict surface roughness control. Equipped with solid outer-ring-guided cage following outer ring track, achieving low vibration and excellent lubricant circulation.

Steel rolling elements feature mature stable performance and prominent cost advantages when shaft current erosion does not exist. Two bearings are processed with synchronized face grinding in factory to guarantee consistent matching accuracy and simplify preload adjustment during assembly. DF face-to-face support layout achieves outstanding axial stiffness and steadily withstands bidirectional axial loads. Open non-sealed structure removes extra friction heat sources and adapts to low-medium speed heavy-duty precision cutting and finishing. Matched pair packaging fits standardized mass production spindle projects and simplifies assembly and debugging.

3 Core Performance Advantages

1. ACD 25° contact angle with outer-ring guided cage: Sufficient axial load capacity, outer ring guidance ensures stable running performance and smooth lubricant flow.

2. All-steel bearing construction: Mature and reliable, easy maintenance, cost-effective for environments without electric erosion risk.

3. DGC original factory DF face-to-face pre-ground matched set: Precisely matched before delivery, eliminating repeated on-site shim adjustment and shortening spindle assembly cycle.

4. ISO P4A super precision grade: Precisely controls radial and axial runout to maintain stable dimensional accuracy during precision machining.

5. DF face-to-face layout: Short support span, extremely high axial rigidity, excellent capability to suppress radial shaft deformation, ideal for heavy bidirectional axial load conditions.

6. Open non-sealed construction: No friction loss caused by contact seals, perfectly compatible with oil-air forced circulation lubrication.

5 Assembly Specifications & Usage Guidelines

5.1 Assembly Environment & Operation Standards

P4 precision matched bearing set should be assembled in constant-temperature dust-free clean workshops. Remove all burrs and metal debris on shaft and housing mating surfaces. Adopt controlled thermal mounting; direct open-flame heating is prohibited. Do not strike bearing rings to avoid indentations on raceways.

Important reminder: DGC matched set consists of two uniquely ground paired bearings. Splitting and mixing with other single bearings is forbidden. Otherwise matching accuracy will be lost, leading to excessive vibration and abnormal temperature rise.

5.2 Pairing & Preload Instructions

Supply condition: Packaged as fixed DF face-to-back two-piece matched set.

Standard layout: DF face-to-face; arbitrary rearrangement to DB or DT is not recommended.

Selection tips:

Heavy bidirectional axial loads, low overturning moment, maximum axial rigidity required → Prioritize this DF matched set;

Bidirectional alternating axial loads & large cutting overturning moment → Select DB back-to-back matched model;

Long-term continuous unidirectional heavy axial load → Choose DT tandem matched set.

Recommended preload: Standard preload for low-medium speed heavy cutting; light preload for high-speed finishing; heavy preload must be avoided near limiting DN value.

Selection reference:

① No shaft current risk, mass production efficiency required, DF layout →7014 ACD/P4ADGC all steel DF set

② Built-in motor spindle requiring insulation against electric erosion, DF layout →7014 ACD/HCP4ADGADGC hybrid ceramic DF set

③ Flexible layout adjustment and unified inventory required →7014 ACD/P4ADGA DGA all steel single unit

④ Bidirectional alternating loads & large overturning moment →7014 ACD/P4ADGB DB back-to-back matched set

⑤ Long-term unidirectional axial heavy load, tandem support →7014 ACD/P4ADGTB DT matched bearing set

⑥ Inner ring guided cage required →7014 ACB/P4ATGC inner ring guided DF matched set

5.3 Lubrication Matching Scheme

No pre-filled grease. Oil-air forced circulation lubrication is recommended for continuous long-hour high-speed finishing; high-grade synthetic spindle grease can be adopted for medium-low speed intermittent equipment. Precision filters must be installed in lubrication pipelines, as hard contaminants easily scratch mirror raceways. Mixing lubricants of different brands or base oil types is forbidden.

5.4 Speed Parameter Note

Solid outer-ring guided cage is suitable for prolonged continuous operation. Efficient cooling system and sufficient speed safety margin are required for long-duration full-load operation to avoid raceway fatigue damage caused by persistent overheating. Open bearings have no built-in dust shield; external dust sealing must be installed on bearing housing to prevent intrusion of dust and cutting fluid.

6 Daily Maintenance & Fault Troubleshooting

Carry out multi-stage low-speed running-in after assembly, monitor temperature rise and vibration step by step. Increase speed to rated value only after all indicators stabilize. Inspect external dust sealing of bearing housing regularly, because open bearings lack internal dust protection.

Supply clean lubricant continuously to avoid dry friction. When continuous abnormal noise, overheating or vibration surge occurs, inspect sequentially: lubricant cleanliness, preload setting, assembly coaxiality, bearing installation direction, external impact overload, dust and foreign matter entering raceway. Monitor operating temperature regularly to detect early failures including raceway pitting and cage abrasion.
