NMT 7014 ACD/P4AQBCC Quadruplex QBC Matched Super Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearing Set – Japan NMT Ultimate Rigidity and High-Capacity Spindle Solution
Product Overview
The NMT 7014 ACD/P4AQBCC is a pre-assembled quadruplex QBC matched super-precision all-steel angular contact ball bearing set, comprising 4 rows of bearings precision-paired in a tandem-back-to-back-tandem (<<>>) QBC configuration. With a total width of 80 mm (20 mm per row × 4), a 70 mm bore, and a 110 mm outer diameter, this set features a 25° contact angle (AC type) and D-type high-capacity design, combined with all-steel rolling elements and a phenolic resin cage, factory-preset with Class C moderate preload, delivering ultimate bidirectional axial rigidity, overturning moment resistance, and high load capacity.
The bearing set offers a radial dynamic load rating of 28,575 lbf (127.1 kN) and a static load rating of 38,925 lbf (173.2 kN) . The QBCC configuration indicates that this set consists of 4 fully matched bearings arranged in a QBC (tandem-back-to-back-tandem) configuration, providing the highest system rigidity and bidirectional axial load capacity. Manufactured to the P4A super-precision tolerance class with Class C moderate preload, the set achieves a maximum speed of 29,000 r/min. The bore and outside diameter matching precision is controlled within -0.004 mm to 0. The set weighs 2.38 kgwith an operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
Model Code Decoding – Understanding NMT 7014 ACD/P4AQBCC
Code Meaning
7014 Basic series designation, 70 mm bore (14×5 mm), 110 mm OD
AC Angular contact design with 25° contact angle
D D-type high-capacity design – best suited for heavier loads compared to equivalent B and E type high-speed bearings
P4A Super-precision tolerance class – surpassing ABEC 7/ISO P4 standards, bore and OD tolerances -0.004 mm to 0
QBCC Quadruplex QBC arrangement + Class C preload – 4 bearings arranged in tandem-back-to-back-tandem (<<>>) QBC configuration, factory-preset Class C moderate preload
Core Configuration Insight: The QBC (<<>>) configuration consists of 4 bearing rows – the center two in back-to-back (<> ) providing maximum overturning rigidity, with one tandem (>>) row on each side doubling unidirectional axial load capacity. This represents the highest rigidity and highest load capacity configuration available in angular contact bearing arrangements. This is a non-universal matchable fixed set – the 4 bearings are factory end-face matched and must not be interchanged or mixed with other bearings.
Core Performance Advantages
1. QBC Quadruplex Configuration – Ultimate System Rigidity and Bidirectional Axial Load Capacity
The QBC (<<>>) configuration combines the dual advantages of back-to-back (<> ) and tandem (>>) arrangements:
Center two rows back-to-back: Provides maximum overturning moment rigidity, minimizing deflection under heavy loads
One tandem row on each side: Doubles unidirectional axial load capacity on each side, with symmetric layout achieving perfect bidirectional axial load balance
Dynamic load rating 28,575 lbf (127.1 kN) , static load rating 38,925 lbf (173.2 kN) – nearly quadruple single-row capacity
2. 25° Contact Angle (AC Type) + D-Type High-Capacity Design – Powerful Combined Load Capacity
The 25° contact angle delivers superior axial rigidity while maintaining ample radial capacity. The D-type high-capacity design, with optimized rolling element parameters – ball diameter 12.7 mm, 19 balls per bearing– is best suited for heavier loads compared to equivalent B and E type high-speed bearings, achieving an outstanding 127.1 kN dynamic and 173.2 kN static load rating within a compact 80 mm total width.
3. Class C Moderate Preload – Ideal for High-Speed Heavy-Load Applications
Class C moderate preload provides "just-right" internal contact stiffness for high-speed spindles – eliminating internal clearance, reducing vibration and noise at high speeds, while avoiding excessive temperature rise from over-preloading. This ensures stable temperature performance even at the 29,000 r/min maximum speed.
4. P4A Super-Precision Grade – Micron-Level Spindle Accuracy
The P4A tolerance class (surpassing ABEC 7/ISO P4 standards) guarantees minimal radial runout and axial play. Bore and outside diameter tolerances are -0.004 mm to 0. All 4 bearings undergo factory precision end-face matching grinding, ensuring highly uniform load distribution across all rows, preventing individual bearing overload, and significantly extending overall set service life. Operating temperature range is -30°C to 110°C.
5. Lightweight Phenolic Resin Cage – Speed and Durability Combined
The lightweight high-strength phenolic resin cage provides excellent guidance accuracy and low friction at high speeds, contributing to reduced centrifugal forces, friction, and heat generation – a key factor in achieving the 29,000 r/min maximum speed.
6. All-Steel Construction – High Rigidity, Impact Resistance, Cost-Effectiveness
Premium chrome steel rings and ballsoffer higher fracture toughness and impact resistance – more reliable under interrupted cutting and accidental overload conditions. All-steel bearings also offer significant cost advantages for high-volume industrial applications.
7. Open Design – Flexible Lubrication Options
This set features an open design, allowing flexible selection of lubrication methods based on application requirements, and facilitating easy maintenance and relubrication. The set comes pre-lubricated from the factory – ready to install out of the box.

Important Installation Notes
⚠️ This is a non-universal matchable fixed set (QBC) – the 4 bearings are supplied as one complete unit. Do not interchange or mix with other bearings of the same model.
⚠️ The QBC (<<>>) configuration is strictly directional. Installation must strictly follow NMT's assembly drawings to ensure correct contact angle orientation for each row. Incorrect orientation will completely eliminate load capacity.
✅ This set comes with factory-preset Class C moderate preload. No additional preload adjustment is required during installation. However, ensure shaft and housing fits comply with P4A grade requirements (bore/OD tolerance -0.004 mm to 0).
✅ To achieve the 29,000 r/min maximum speed, oil-air or oil-mist lubrication is recommended. This set features an open design, allowing flexible lubrication selection based on application.
⚠️ Total width is 80 mm. Ensure sufficient axial installation space.
✅ This set comes pre-lubricated from the factory – ready to install out of the box.
