Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7207 BEP

The SKF 7207 BEP angular contact ball bearing combines a 35 mm bore, a 72 mm outer diameter and a 40-degree contact angle for combined radial and single-direction axial loads.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7207 BEP from SKF is designed for combined loads where radial forces occur simultaneously with axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel, the open version has main dimensions of 35 mm inner diameter and 72 mm outer diameter, with a width of 17 mm. The design features standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The component is suitable for an operating temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 7207 BEP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

This angular contact ball bearing is used for the precise guidance of rotating shafts where single-sided axial forces must primarily be supported. Due to the asymmetrical shoulder design of the bearing rings, the rolling elements transmit loads at an angle to the radial plane. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to combined loads and axial thrust.

As single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, in practice they are usually mounted in a pair, with one bearing facing the other.

What is the function of the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage?

The 40-degree contact angle determines the force transmission between the inner and outer rings and ensures a high axial load capacity in the direction of action. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements quietly whilst maintaining a low weight. This combination supports low-vibration operation within the permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees.

Please note during design that this open bearing is supplied without sealing washers. A functioning external seal and a suitable lubricant supply within the housing are required for correct operation.
