718 Series Angular Contact Ball Bearings

Ultra-Thin Section Design for Space-Critical & Weight-Sensitive Applications

Overview

Introduction

The 718 series angular contact ball bearings represent the pinnacle of compact bearing engineering. With a narrower cross-section than the 719 series, these bearings are purpose-built for applications where every millimeter and every gram counts — from collaborative robots to precision aerospace mechanisms.

Core Advantages

Engineered for Extreme Compactness

The 718 series ultra thin angular contact ball bearing is purpose-built for applications where every millimeter and every gram counts, without compromising on rotational accuracy or rigidity.

Maximum Cross-Section Compactness

Offers a smaller cross-section than any other standard series, enabling larger shaft diameters within the same housing bore.

Lightweight Structural Integration

Significantly reduced bearing mass makes it the preferred choice for weight-sensitive assemblies like robotic arm joints.

Precision Under Constrained Space

Available in P4 and P2 precision grades, delivering consistent radial and axial accuracy even within the tightest spatial envelopes.

Application Areas

Ideal Applications for 718 Series

Engineered for high-tech industries where space constraint and weight reduction are critical design factors.

Industrial Robotics

Perfect for joint actuators in 6-axis robot arms and collaborative robots (cobots).

Aerospace Mechanisms

Reliable performance for gimbal systems and satellite antenna drives.

Precision Medical

Ultra-thin profiles for surgical robots and CT scanner rotation units.

UAV & Drones

Lightweight propulsion and camera gimbal assemblies.

Compact Spindles

Ideal for machine tools where housing space is critically limited.

Contact Engineering Team
What is the standard precision class for the 718 series?
Our standard 718 series angular contact ball bearings are manufactured to P4 (ABEC-7) and P2 (ABEC-9) precision classes, ensuring exceptional rotational accuracy for machine tool spindles and robotics.
Can I request custom preload or clearance?
Yes. We offer universal matching and can configure bearings with Light (A), Medium (B), or Heavy (C) preload according to your specific application requirements.
What cage materials are available?
The standard cage material is high-speed phenolic resin (bakelite), which is ideal for high-speed operations. We also offer machined brass cages and PEEK material cages for applications requiring higher impact resistance.
What is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
For standard sizes in stock, we can dispatch within 3-5 working days. For custom configurations or bulk manufacturing, the typical lead time is 6 to 8 weeks. Please contact our sales team for exact inventory status.
