A Fafnir 2MM218WICR-SUL super-precision angular contact ball bearing, single row, universally ground, from the WI machine-tool spindle series. Steel rings, steel balls, phenolic cage, open on both faces.
A 15° contact angle favours speed and radial stiffness over thrust capacity, which is the usual choice for a spindle front position. An outer-land-riding phenolic cage runs on the outer ring rather than on the balls, cutting cage wear and lubricant churn at speed. Light preload holds a lower running temperature and less frictional torque than the medium and heavy grades. Universal grinding means the faces are flush-ground, so any two rings of this designation seat together back-to-back, face-to-face or in tandem and arrive at the marked preload with no shims.
1 Pc, a universally ground single at light preload.
ISO base number 7218, angle-designated 7218C. Searchable forms are 2MM218WICR-SUL, 2MM218WICRSUL, 2MM-218-WI-CR-SUL and 2MM 218 WI CR SUL. A 3MM218WI ring is the 25° version of the same envelope and is a related size, not an interchange; SUM and SUH are the medium and heavy preload grades, and DU duplex sets are a different arrangement, so all are related sizes.
