Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7306 BEP

The SKF 7306 BEP angular contact ball bearing combines dimensions of 30x72x19 mm with a 40-degree contact angle and a lightweight polyamide cage for demanding bearing applications.

The 7306 BEP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6), which accommodates radial forces and unidirectional axial forces. With key dimensions of a 30 mm bore, 72 mm outside diameter and 19 mm width, this design complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The open bearing, which has no flange or groove on the outer ring, features standard radial clearance. Maintenance engineers and designers use this component when precise guidance of the shaft under combined loads is required.

What is the 7306 BEP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in industrial plant?

Single-row angular contact ball bearings such as the 7306 BEP are suitable for bearing arrangements subject to combined radial and axial loads in one direction. Thanks to the open design, the lubricant reaches the rolling elements and raceways unhindered. Typical applications include industrial bearing arrangements where shafts must be guided under axial thrust. To accommodate varying axial forces, the bearing is usually paired with a second bearing or fitted as a set.

What advantages do the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage offer in the 7306 BEP?

The 40-degree contact angle gives the bearing increased axial load-carrying capacity in one direction. Forces are transmitted at an angle to the radial plane, resulting in high axial stiffness during operation. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with low friction and ensures a low weight. Furthermore, the component is suitable for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees. When selecting this bearing, please note that the open bearing requires a customer-supplied seal to protect against dirt.
