7218 BEGAM Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 7218 BEGAM is a single row angular contact ball bearing engineered for high-precision applications requiring exceptional performance under combined loads. Designed to accommodate significant axial loads in one direction alongside radial loads, this bearing features a 40° contact angle for optimal thrust capacity. Manufactured to P6 (ABEC-3) tolerance class, it delivers superior running accuracy and rotational precision. Its open design allows for customized lubrication solutions, making it ideal for high-speed machinery and precision equipment where reliability and dimensional stability are critical.

| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Performance Significance |
|---|---|---|
| BE | Increased Contact Angle (40°) | Enhanced axial load carrying capacity |
| GAM | Precision Machined Brass Cage | Superior high-speed performance and cage stability |
7218 BEGAM Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The optimized 40° contact angle and precision-ground raceways enable superior resistance to combined radial and axial loads, with a dynamic load rating of 24,300 lbf and static load rating of 21,712 lbf.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to P6 tolerance class with controlled bore diameter tolerance (-0.015mm to 0) and outside diameter tolerance (-0.018mm to 0) ensures consistent performance in precision applications.
- High-Speed Capability: The brass cage (GAM) provides excellent dimensional stability at high rotational speeds, supporting a limiting speed of 6,300 rpm.
- Material Excellence: Constructed from chrome steel rings and balls with brass cage for optimal strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability within the operating temperature range of -30° to 110°C.
