Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7316 BECBP

The SKF 7316 BECBP single-row angular contact ball bearing, measuring 80 × 170 × 39 mm, accommodates combined radial and axial loads at a 40-degree contact angle.

The SKF 7316 BECBP angular contact ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel for industrial applications. With an inner diameter of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 170 mm and a width of 39 mm, the component transmits forces at an angle to the radial plane. The Explorer version is characterised by enhanced precision: the bearing combines dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 with running accuracy to P5. Its applications include shaft mountings where radial forces and single-sided axial loads occur simultaneously.

What is the 7316 BECBP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in practice?

This single-row angular contact ball bearing is suitable for demanding bearing arrangements where heavy radial loads are combined with axial forces in one direction. Thanks to the defined contact angle of 40 degrees, the design effectively supports axial forces. Typical applications are found in general mechanical and plant engineering where high demands are placed on guidance accuracy. If a second bearing is fitted in a mirror-image O or X arrangement, the bearing pair absorbs axial forces from both directions whilst maintaining minimal axial play.

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

The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements quietly and reduces the weight of the rolling element set. This cage type is designed for a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. The 40-degree contact angle increases the axial load-carrying capacity compared with bearings with a smaller angle. As this is an open design without integrated seals, the bearing location requires external sealing against contamination as well as a suitable lubrication supply with oil or grease.
