Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7309 BEGAP

The SKF 7309 BEGAP angular contact ball bearing, with dimensions of 45 × 100 × 25 mm and a 40-degree contact angle, can accommodate high radial and unilateral axial loads.

This single-row 7309 BEGAP angular contact ball bearing is manufactured by SKF and is made from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel. Thanks to its angular raceways, the bearing can handle radial and axial loads simultaneously. As an open bearing without integrated sealing rings, it is suitable for installations where an external lubrication system supplies the component. It is manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) and has a standard radial clearance.

In which applications is the 7309 BEGAP angular contact ball bearing used?

Design engineers prefer to use this bearing design in shaft mountings where axial forces act in one direction. The pronounced contact angle of 40 degrees gives the bearing arrangement a high axial load-carrying capacity. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to combined loads in general mechanical engineering. As this angular contact ball bearing acts on one side only, in practice it is usually paired with a second bearing or fitted directly as a set.

What does the design for paired mounting with a polyamide cage mean?

The suffix identifies universally compatible bearings which, when mounted in an O or X arrangement, have a defined, slight preload. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of shims in the bearing seat. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with minimal vibration and keeps the weight low. The component covers an operating range from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius, which is designed for standard industrial environments.
