Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7213 BECBP

SKF single-row angular contact ball bearing 7213 BECBP with a 65 mm bore, a 40-degree contact angle and a polyamide cage for high combined loads.

The 7213 BECBP angular contact ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a bore of 65 mm, an outer diameter of 120 mm and a width of 23 mm. Thanks to the 40-degree contact angle, this design can accommodate significant axial forces in one direction as well as simultaneously acting radial forces. In the SKF Explorer version, the unit combines dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 with running accuracy to class P5.

What is the 7213 BECBP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in industrial plant?

This bearing is suitable for applications where unidirectional axial loads occur in conjunction with high radial forces. Typical applications include precision shaft guides where defined axial forces must be reliably supported under demanding operating conditions.

Due to its open design without sealing washers, the bearing can be lubricated directly via the lubrication system of the overall plant. The polyamide cage guides the rolling elements quietly within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What are the advantages of the bearing pair configuration for the 7213 BECBP angular contact ball bearing?

In O and X arrangements, the bearing pair has low axial play, which simplifies the precise alignment of paired installations. When two bearings are mounted back-to-back, they absorb axial forces from both directions and increase the stiffness of the shaft guidance.

Proper lubrication and protection against contamination are essential for correct operation, as open bearings require clean operating conditions. The tight tolerance class P6 for dimensions and P5 for running accuracy ensures smooth concentricity at higher speeds.
