Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7307 BEP

The SKF 7307 BEP angular contact ball bearing, with a 35 mm bore and a 40-degree contact angle, reliably withstands high combined loads.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7307 BEP is designed as an open rolling bearing for demanding rotational movements. Thanks to the specific arrangement of the raceways, this component transmits radial forces as well as single-sided axial forces between the shaft and the housing. SKF manufactures the rings and balls from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6). For maintenance and design purposes, this component offers a precision-fit design in accordance with standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, where open bearings are required for lubricated systems.

What loads does the 7307 BEP angular contact ball bearing accommodate during operation?

This single-row rolling bearing is suitable for applications in which, in addition to purely radial forces, significant axial forces act on the system in one direction. As single-row angular contact ball bearings, by design, can only accommodate axial loads in one direction, the bearing assembly in the system is usually paired with a second bearing. The defined contact angle of 40 degrees specifically facilitates the absorption of these axial forces and ensures stable operation of the rotating components.

What are the key features of the polyamide cage in the 7307 BEP angular contact ball bearing?

The BEP version is fitted with a polyamide cage, which precisely maintains the spacing between the rolling elements and ensures low-friction guidance. The material is characterised by quiet operation and retains its dimensional stability within the specified temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees. As the bearing assembly is open and has no integrated contact seals, the lubricant reaches the contact zones between the balls and the raceway directly; an external housing seal therefore protects against environmental influences.
