Product Overview: The 7004 Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7004 bearing is a high-performance single-row Angular Contact Ball Bearing, prominently featured in our robust 7000 Series. With precise dimensions of 20mm bore diameter, 42mm outer diameter, and 12mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to accommodate combined loads, meaning it can handle both radial loads and axial loads acting in a single direction simultaneously. Its design features a contact angle that enables efficient support of axial forces, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring high rotational speeds and accurate shaft guidance.
As a trusted provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 7004 bearings meet stringent industry standards for quality and performance. The inherent design of angular contact ball bearings allows for high rigidity and precision, which is crucial in machinery where accurate positioning and minimal runout are paramount. For applications requiring axial load support in both directions, these bearings are commonly used in pairs (duplex arrangements), such as in O or X configurations. Explore our comprehensive range of angular contact ball bearings to find the optimal solution for your industrial needs.
