Skf 3205 A-2Z Angular Contact Ball Bearing 25mm Bore

Product Description

The SKF 3205 A-2Z is a double-row angular contact ball bearing designed to handle combined radial and axial loads in a single compact unit. It features a 30-degree contact angle, which allows it to carry significant thrust loads in both directions while maintaining radial load capacity. The bearing carries a static load rating of 14,300 pounds and a dynamic load rating of 20,800 pounds, making it suitable for demanding industrial drive and machine-tool applications. A steel cage and double-shield construction protect the internal components from contamination. Licensed bearing technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this unit in equipment requiring precise load handling and moderate-to-high speed operation.

This bearing is used in a wide range of industrial machinery where axial and radial loads occur simultaneously. Common applications include electric motor shaft assemblies, pumps, compressors, gearboxes, and conveyor drive systems. The double-row configuration provides greater rigidity and load capacity than a single-row design of comparable size, making it a preferred choice in applications where shaft deflection must be minimized. The double-shield design helps retain lubrication and reduce contamination ingress without requiring external sealing provisions.

Key Features

• 30-degree contact angle for combined radial and axial load capacity
• Double-row construction increases rigidity and load rating over single-row alternatives
• Double-shield (2Z) design retains grease and limits contamination ingress
• 14,300 lb static load capacity and 20,800 lb dynamic load capacity
• Steel cage construction for durability at operational speeds up to 8,000 RPM
• ABEC-3 tolerance class for consistent dimensional accuracy in precision applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement double-row angular contact ball bearing for industrial machinery applications requiring a 25 mm bore, 52 mm outside diameter, and 20.6 mm overall width with a 30-degree contact angle.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by qualified maintenance technicians or bearing specialists. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before removing or installing bearings. Use proper bearing installation tools such as an arbor press or bearing fitting kit to apply force to the correct ring - never strike the bearing directly with a hammer. Consult equipment manufacturer documentation for shaft and housing fit tolerances before pressing the bearing into position.
