Skf 7206 Begap Angular Contact Ball Bearing 30mm Bore

Product Description

The SKF 7206 BEGAP is a single-row angular contact ball bearing designed to carry combined radial and axial loads in high-speed rotating machinery. It features a 30 mm bore diameter, 62 mm outside diameter, and a 16 mm overall width, with a 40-degree contact angle that allows it to handle significant thrust loading in one direction. The open, flangeless design and plastic cage make it suitable for applications where lubrication is managed externally. Licensed HVAC, industrial mechanical, and pump service technicians are the typical installers of this bearing class.

This bearing is commonly applied in centrifugal pumps, electric motors, blowers, compressors, and HVAC fan assemblies where both radial and single-direction axial loads must be supported simultaneously. The 40-degree contact angle is well suited to applications with dominant axial loading relative to radial load. It is rated for operation up to 12,000 RPM, making it appropriate for medium- to high-speed equipment in both residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 40-degree contact angle supports high axial-to-radial load ratios
• Dynamic load capacity of 23,800 pounds for demanding duty cycles
• Static load capacity of 15,600 pounds
• Maximum operating speed of 12,000 RPM
• Plastic cage construction reduces weight and friction at speed
• Open, flangeless design allows flexible housing integration
• Single-row configuration for compact axial space requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade for single-row angular contact ball bearing applications requiring a 30 mm bore, 62 mm outside diameter, and 16 mm width in the 7206 BE series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing bearings. Press force should be applied to the appropriate ring only - never drive force through the rolling elements. Verify housing and shaft tolerances meet the bearing manufacturer specifications before installation to avoid premature failure.
