RHPSuper-Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearing Matched Pair 60x110x22 mm 25° ABEC 7 Medium Preload

Product Description

What this part is

A matched pair of RHP 7212ETDUMP4 super-precision single-row angular contact ball bearings, each 60 mm bore by 110 mm outside diameter by 22 mm wide. The 7212 designation is the ISO 72-series light-section angular contact envelope. These are spindle bearings for machine tools, precision gearboxes and high-speed rotary equipment.

Decoding the designation

7212: single-row angular contact ball bearing, 60 x 110 x 22 mm. E: 25° contact angle in the RHP scheme. T: phenolic laminated-fabric cage. DU: duplex universally ground. M: medium preload. P4: ABEC 7 precision class.

What these specs mean in practice

The 25° contact angle carries considerably more thrust than a 15° bearing of the same envelope while still supporting high shaft speeds. It is the standard choice for milling and drilling spindles where the cut produces axial load alongside radial load.

The phenolic cage is light and self-lubricating, which lowers friction and lifts the speed ceiling relative to a machined brass cage, at the cost of a lower maximum operating temperature. Oil-mist, oil-air and light-grease lubrication suit it.

Universal grinding means both faces are finished so that the two bearings form a set at a defined medium preload in back-to-back, face-to-face or tandem arrangement, with no shim stack or measurement needed at assembly. Medium preload gives higher spindle stiffness and running accuracy than light preload and runs warmer.

Published specifications

Bore: 60 mm. Outside diameter: 110 mm. Width: 22 mm per bearing. Stacked width of the pair: 44 mm. Rows: 1 per bearing. Contact angle: 25°. Precision class: ABEC 7 / ISO P4. Preload: Medium. Cage: Phenolic. Closure: Open.

Quantity and configuration

2 Pcs. Two bearings ship as one matched pair, and the purchase covers the two bearings themselves.

Mounting data

Back-to-back carries moment load and is the usual spindle configuration. Face-to-face accommodates a small amount of misalignment. Tandem doubles thrust capacity in a single direction.

Interchange guidance

Fafnir 3MM212WICRDUM and Barden 212HDM are the same specification under other numbering schemes: 25°, medium preload, duplex universally ground, ABEC 7 class. Same-envelope 7212 bearings at 15° or 40°, at light or heavy preload, or at P0 or P5 class are different parts.
