Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7217 BEP

The SKF 7217 BEP angular contact ball bearing, with a contact angle of 40 degrees, accommodates high unilateral axial and radial forces with dimensions of 85x150x28 mm.

The 7217 BEP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row radial rolling bearing designed for combined loads. Thanks to the diagonally opposed raceways in the inner and outer rings, the design simultaneously accommodates radial forces and axial guidance forces in one direction. SKF manufactures this open bearing from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel with standard radial clearance. The component has an inside diameter of 85 mm, an outside diameter of 150 mm and a width of 28 mm.

What is the 7217 BEP angular contact ball bearing suitable for under combined loads?

This rolling bearing is suitable for shaft mountings where axial forces act in conjunction with radial loads. As single-row angular contact ball bearings support axial forces in one direction only, they are often mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement opposite a second bearing. The open design allows for flexible lubrication via the surrounding housing using oil or grease.

What are the distinctive features of the BEP design with a 40-degree contact angle?

The suffix ‘BEP’ denotes the design with a contact angle of 40 degrees and a polyamide cage. This contact angle facilitates the absorption of high axial forces. The polyamide cage is lightweight and ensures quiet running of the rolling elements. The design is specified for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees and for tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.
