7218 BEGAF Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7218 BEGAF is a single row angular contact ball bearing engineered for high-performance applications requiring exceptional precision and reliability. This precision bearing is specifically designed to accommodate high combined loads, including significant radial and unidirectional thrust loads, thanks to its optimized 40° contact angle. Manufactured to a P6 (ABEC-3) tolerance class, it ensures superior running accuracy and rotational stability. Its open design, combined with a stainless steel cage and pre-lubrication, makes it an ideal solution for high-speed machinery demanding high rigidity and dependable operation.
7218 BEGAF Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 7218: Basic bearing series, indicating a bore diameter of 90 mm, an outside diameter of 160 mm, and a width of 30 mm.
- BE: Signifies an optimized internal design with a 40° contact angle and enhanced internal geometry for superior performance.
- GA: Indicates a light preload applied to the bearing, which increases system rigidity and minimizes axial and radial play.
- F: Denotes that the bearing is manufactured from case-hardening steel, providing a tough core and a hard, wear-resistant surface.
7218 BEGAF Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Load Capacity: The single row design with a 40° contact angle is engineered to support high combined loads. The light preload (GA) significantly enhances system stiffness, reducing deflection under load for improved machining or operational accuracy.
- High-Speed Performance: The standard stainless steel cage ensures low friction and high strength, contributing to a high limiting speed of 4,500 rpm. The open design facilitates efficient lubrication management for stable high-speed operation.
- Precision and Durability: Manufactured to P6 tolerance for precise running, the bearing uses case-hardening steel (F) for the rings, offering an excellent combination of toughness and wear resistance, extending service life in demanding conditions.
- Standard Lubrication: The bearing comes pre-lubricated, ready for immediate installation and operation within its specified temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
