Cage materials — Super-Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Suffix	Material	Printed by
`(none)`	Pressed steel	NSK, NTN, Timken
`JP`	Pressed steel (sheet)	Schaeffler (FAG)
`P / TVP / TVH`	Polyamide (glass-fibre reinforced PA66)	SKF, Schaeffler (FAG)
`PH`	PEEK	SKF
`Y`	Stamped brass	SKF
`M / MP`	Machined brass	SKF, Schaeffler (FAG)

Suffix letters are set by each manufacturer; the third column names the brands that print the row. Always confirm the exact variant in the manufacturer's table.

Axial clearance for universally matchable pairs

Group	Meaning
`CA`	Axial clearance smaller than normal, universally matchable pair
`CB`	Normal axial clearance, universally matchable pair
`CC`	Axial clearance larger than normal, universally matchable pair

The CN / C2 / C3 / C4 radial clearance groups do not apply to single-row angular contact ball bearings. Their axial clearance depends on the paired configuration (back-to-back, face-to-face or tandem) and the final mounting adjustment; a CA / CB / CC suffix fixes it for a universally matchable pair, where the manufacturer offers one.

Bearing materials

Material	Where it appears
Bearing steel	Rings and rolling elements — the standard for every model without a special material note
Stainless steel	Corrosion-resistant versions, e.g. the SKF "W" series
Ceramic rolling elements (hybrid)	Ceramic balls or rollers running in steel rings; electrically insulating and tolerant of poor lubrication
Ceramic-coated steel rings	SKF INSOCOAT: VL0241 coats the outer ring, VL2071 the inner ring (electrical insulation against stray currents)

The material refers to the rings and the rolling elements. Unless a special material is stated, both are bearing steel.

Manufacturer Ratings

Load-rating symbols are printed as each manufacturer writes them in its own catalogue, so the same quantity can carry a different symbol from brand to brand.

Brand	Dynamic Load Rating	Static Load Rating	Additional Data
SKF 71900 CD/P4A	C2.51 kN	C01.1 kN	Contact angle: 15°

Speed Ratings

Speed limits depend on sealing and lubrication, and definitions differ by manufacturer. Contact-sealed variants are normally greased for life and run slower. Always confirm the exact variant in the manufacturer's table.

Brand	Grease open / shielded	Oil open	Reference	Limiting
SKF 71900 CD/P4A	70,000 r/min	110,000 r/min	—	—

About This Type

Super-Precision angular contact ball bearings are made to tight tolerance classes for high-speed, high-accuracy rotation — first of all machine-tool spindles, but also precision pumps, compressors and measuring equipment.

These bearings are selected by precision class, contact angle (15° or 25° are the common standards) and preload rather than by load rating alone; the intended arrangement — back-to-back, face-to-face or tandem — must be fixed at ordering time. Universally matchable versions can be paired in any arrangement with the stated preload or clearance.

Cleanliness and correct preload decide the result: handle with gloves, mount in a clean environment, never wash out the preservative of sealed-for-life greased versions, and do not re-arrange or interchange rings between matched sets.

Series note: The 71 super-precision series is the light, high-speed design used for most machine-tool spindle applications.
