Product Description
What this part is
Barden 124HDL super-precision angular contact ball bearing, supplied as a matched duplex pair. Bore: 120 mm. Outside diameter: 180 mm. Width: 28 mm per bearing. Contact angle: 15°. Precision class: P4, equivalent to ABEC 7. Open on both faces. Weight: 5.30 lb per bearing. ISO equivalent size: 7024.
Decoding the designation
124: Barden bore code for 120 mm. H: matched duplex set. DL: duplex, light preload. Barden bore codes step in fives from 116, which is 80 mm, so 124 is 120 mm and the part sits on the ISO 7024 envelope.
What these specs mean in practice
Dynamic load rating: 88 kN (19,800 lbf). Static load rating: 93 kN (20,900 lbf). Limiting speed: 8,500 rpm. Maximum operating temperature: 120 °C. A 15° contact angle favours speed and radial stiffness over thrust capacity. Light preload keeps heat generation and torque low while still removing the play that lets a spindle chatter. The machined phenolic cage is light in mass and holds oil in its own surface.
Quantity and configuration
Two bearings, ground as a matched duplex light-preload set. Supplied new, sealed in the factory bag, with the preservative oil film on the raceways.
Fitting notes
Shaft seat to h5 and housing bore to H6 or closer hold the P4 running accuracy. The ground ring faces set the preload when the rings are clamped evenly, with no spacer grinding.
