Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7214 BECBP

SKF single-row angular contact ball bearing 7214 BECBP with a 70 mm bore, 125 mm outside diameter and a 40-degree contact angle for combined loads.

The 7214 BECBP angular contact ball bearing accommodates both radial forces and single-direction axial forces simultaneously. Thanks to its 40-degree contact angle, this single-row bearing effectively distributes axial loads across the rings. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel and featuring SKF’s Explorer design, it provides the basis for smooth running and dimensionally stable operation in demanding industrial applications.

What is the 7214 BECBP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel primarily use this rolling bearing where axial guidance and radial load-carrying capacity are required. The bearing is designed for applications involving combined loads. As a single-row bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is often mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement with a mating bearing.

What do the contact angle and polyamide cage mean for bearing design?

The contact angle of 40 degrees facilitates the absorption of axial forces compared to bearings with a shallower contact angle. The integrated polyamide cage ensures low-noise guidance of the balls and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees. When fitted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, a small amount of axial play occurs due to the design.

In addition, this design offers dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 and running accuracy to P5. As an open bearing, protection against contamination is provided by the surrounding housing structure, tailored to the specific lubricant selected.
