Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7324 BCBM

The SKF 7324 BCBM single-row angular contact ball bearing (120x260x55 mm) can accommodate high radial loads as well as axial forces acting on one side.

The 7324 BCBM angular contact ball bearing is an open rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6). The design features offset raceways on the inner and outer rings. As a result, this single-row bearing dissipates combined radial and axial loads. With a bore diameter of 120 mm, an outer diameter of 260 mm and a width of 55 mm, this component is suitable for demanding bearing arrangements in industrial machinery.

What is the 7324 BCBM angular contact ball bearing with a 40-degree contact angle suitable for?

This bearing is primarily used where heavy radial forces occur in conjunction with unilateral axial forces. The steep contact angle of 40 degrees ensures that axial loads are effectively supported in one direction. As single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, in practice they are often fitted in pairs in combination with a second bearing. When arranged in pairs in an O or X configuration, this design offers low axial play.

What operational advantages does the brass cage offer?

The integrated brass cage guides the rolling elements precisely and withstands high dynamic forces and vibrations. Brass has good emergency running properties and retains its dimensional stability even under thermal influences. Together with the permissible temperature range of -20 to +200 degrees, the open bearing withstands demanding operating conditions. As the design does not include sealing washers, the lubricant can be applied directly. To ensure smooth operation, adjust the housing seal and lubrication intervals to suit the ambient conditions.
