Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7206 BEP

The single-row SKF angular contact ball bearing 7206 BEP, measuring 30 × 62 × 16 mm, accommodates radial loads as well as unilateral axial loads at a 40-degree contact angle.

The SKF 7206 BEP angular contact ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a standard radial clearance. Thanks to its angularly offset raceways, this design is specifically suited to combined forces where, in addition to radial forces, axial loads act in one direction. This version has a 30 mm bore, an outer diameter of 62 mm and a width of 16 mm. Thanks to its manufacture to tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), the bearing is suitable for standardised industrial applications.

What is the 7206 BEP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This angular contact ball bearing is typically used in bearing arrangements that must simultaneously accommodate radial and single-direction axial forces. As single-row angular contact ball bearings, by design, can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, they are often mounted in practice in a pair. Typical applications include industrial bearing arrangements subject to combined loads and defined axial preload. The open design allows for flexible lubricant selection directly via the surrounding housing.

What advantages do the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage offer?

The 40-degree contact angle enables a high axial load-carrying capacity in relation to the radial load-carrying capacity. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with low friction, dampens running noise and keeps the weight to a minimum. The bearing is designed for an operating temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees, which corresponds to the typical range for polyamide cages. A clean environment is important during assembly, as the open bearing offers no integrated protection against dirt particles.
