Load ratings and speed

Dynamic Load Rating: 11.1 kN (2,495 lbf). Static Load Rating: 6.55 kN (1,472 lbf). Limiting Speed: 53,600 rev/min on oil/air lubrication and 33,100 rev/min on grease. Effective load centre: 10.1 mm. Maximum Operating Temperature: 120 °C.

What these specs mean in practice

A 15° contact angle favours speed and radial rigidity over axial capacity, which is why it is the standard machine-tool spindle angle. Light preload develops 49 N of axial preload and 28 N/µm of axial stiffness in a back-to-back pair, holding true rolling contact at high speed with less heat than a medium or heavy setting. Universal face control means the rings are the same width and flush ground, so any two of these bearings clamp back-to-back or face-to-face at the rated preload with no custom spacer. P4 accuracy holds inner ring radial runout to 2.5 µm and reference face runout to 4 µm.

Mounting data

Shaft abutment diameter d1 min: 25 mm. Housing abutment diameter D1 max: 37 mm. Housing abutment D2 max: 39.5 mm. Bearing fillet radius r min: 0.6 mm. Fillet radius r1 min: 0.3 mm. Internal free volume: 3.1 cm³. Pitch circle diameter for lubrication jets: 28.2 mm. Lubricant: grease or oil.

Quantity and configuration

Unit Quantity: 1 Pc. Internal Clearance: N/A. The bearing is preload-set at manufacture rather than clearance-set, so no radial clearance class applies.

Interchange guidance

Carton designations carried on this part: B7004X2TAULEP7 and 2MM9104WI SUL. The RHP B-series X2 code, the Fafnir 2MM prefix and the C code all give the 15° angle, and EP7 is the same class as P4. Same-envelope 15° super-precision executions in other schemes: SKF 7004 CDGA/P4A and NSK 7004CTRSUL. A 7004A5 or 7004E in this envelope carries a 25° contact angle, which makes it a related size rather than a substitution.
