Skf 7204 Bep Angular Contact Ball Bearing 20mm Bore

Product Description

The SKF 7204 BEP is a single-row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications that require simultaneous radial and axial load handling. With a 40-degree contact angle, it delivers strong axial load capacity in one direction, making it well suited for high-speed spindle and shaft arrangements. The bore diameter measures 20 mm, the outside diameter is 47 mm, and the overall width is 14 mm. Dynamic load capacity is rated at 14,000 pounds and static load capacity at 8,300 pounds. Mechanical and maintenance technicians working on rotating equipment specify this bearing where precise dimensional tolerances and running accuracy are critical.

This bearing is appropriate for use in industrial machinery, electric motors, pumps, compressors, and precision machine tool spindles where combined load conditions exist. The open style and plastic cage construction support operation at speeds up to 17,000 RPM, making it a practical choice for moderate- to high-speed shaft assemblies in both light industrial and commercial equipment. No snap ring is included.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for single-row angular contact ball bearing applications requiring a 20 mm bore, 47 mm outside diameter, and 14 mm width with a 40-degree contact angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with bearing press-fit procedures. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or seating bearings. Use a proper bearing press or driver tool that applies force only to the bearing race being fitted - never strike the bearing directly or apply force across the rolling elements. Verify shaft and housing tolerances against SKF published fit recommendations before installation.
