Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7318 BECBP

The SKF 7318 BECBP angular contact ball bearing, with a 90 mm bore and a 40-degree contact angle, provides precise guidance for combined radial and axial loads.

The 7318 BECBP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing in the SKF Explorer series, designed for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to its 40-degree contact angle, this open bearing accommodates radial forces as well as unidirectional axial forces. It is manufactured from hardened 100Cr6 bearing steel, ensuring high dimensional stability. With key dimensions of 90 mm inner diameter, 190 mm outer diameter and 43 mm width, this unit is suitable for shaft mountings in mechanical engineering.

What loads does the 7318 BECBP angular contact ball bearing accommodate?

This angular contact ball bearing accommodates simultaneously occurring radial loads and axial forces in one direction. As single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces from one side, they are often installed as a pair of bearings mounted back-to-back. When mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, this bearing design already has a low axial clearance, which supports precise shaft guidance and simplifies alignment within the overall system.

What characteristics do the 40-degree contact angle and the tolerance classes offer?

The 40-degree contact angle gives the rolling bearing a high axial load-carrying capacity compared to designs with a smaller contact angle. The polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with low vibration within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Thanks to its dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 and running accuracy to P5, the bearing features tight tolerances. As this is an open design without an integrated seal, external sealing of the bearing housing is required.
