7040 BGM Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7040 is a single row angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications requiring high precision and the ability to handle significant combined loads. Designed with a 40° contact angle, it excels at supporting substantial axial loads in one direction while simultaneously carrying radial loads. Its P6 (ABEC-3) tolerance class ensures high running accuracy, making it ideal for demanding, high-reliability machinery where precise shaft positioning is critical. The open design allows for versatile lubrication options to optimize performance for specific operating conditions.
7040 BGM Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7040 | Basic bearing designation, defining the core bearing dimensions (200mm bore, 310mm OD, 51mm width). |
| Open | No integral seals or shields. This allows for higher limiting speeds and custom lubrication schemes but requires a clean operating environment or external sealing. |
| P6 (ABEC-3) | Specifies the precision tolerance class, ensuring tight dimensional and running accuracy for smooth, low-vibration operation. |
| 40° | Indicates the contact angle, which determines the bearing's optimized capacity for axial loads. |
7040 BGM Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Internal Geometry: The 40° contact angle and precisely calculated shoulder diameters (269.8 mm outer ring, 243.6 mm inner ring) are engineered to provide excellent axial load capacity and system rigidity.
- High-Performance Materials: Constructed from chrome steel for rings and balls, and a brass cage, this combination ensures high durability, wear resistance, and reliable operation under high stress and speed.
- Superior Load Ratings: With a dynamic load rating of 50,625 lbf and a static load rating of 65,250 lbf, the 7040 is built to withstand demanding combined loads over a long service life.
- High-Speed Capability: The robust brass cage and open design contribute to a high limiting speed of 2,200 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
