How the 7200-BECBP model number is decoded

7200 BECBP is SKF's 10 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7200 series, nominal 40° (B) contact angle, 10×30×9 mm to the ISO dimension plan. 40° contact angle (suffix B): the steep standard single-row angle, giving the highest axial capacity at the cost of speed, with a recommended load ratio Fa/Fr ≥ 1. E marks the optimized internal design with an enhanced ball complement and race geometry. glass-fibre reinforced PA66 cage, ball-centred (suffix P), with a 120 °C continuous-temperature ceiling. CB means universally matchable with Normal axial internal clearance: the two side faces are ground so any two units form DB (back-to-back), DF (face-to-face) or DT (tandem) sets without regrinding. Envelope 10×30×9 mm (0.394×1.181×0.354 in), 10.0 mm radial section height, C 7.02 kN, C0 3.35 kN, Pu 0.14 kN.reference speed 30,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 30,000 r/min (mechanical), which coincide for this size, catalogue mass 30 g. Load balance: C0 3.35 kN against C 7.02 kN gives a 0.48 ratio, typical of a steep-angle axial-oriented design; Pu 0.14 kN enters the SKF adjusted-life equation rather than the basic rating life. Sizing arithmetic on the 10 mm bore: 7.02 kN C divided by the 10.0 mm radial section height gives 0.7 kN per section millimetre; the 30 g mass and 2 % Pu/C share frame the light-load floor for the adjusted-life check. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 30 over bore 10 is a 3.00× step for this size, and the 9 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 1.11; use these ratios when housing space around the 10 mm shaft is the first constraint. Universal polymer-cage execution: BECBP is the factory-ground set-mounting version of the basic BEP — both side faces are finish-ground to a controlled stand-off so two units form DB, DF or DT arrangements without shims, while the glass-fibre PA66 ball-centred cage keeps the light, quiet running typical of the P-cage range; CB delivers Normal axial clearance before preload is applied at assembly.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Do not mix execution classes inside one set: a universally matchable BECBP unit is ground for arbitrary pairing, a basic execution is not.
• Assign interference to the rotating ring — roughly j5 on a 10 mm rotating shaft with an H7 housing — and let the stationary ring slide for axial setting; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
• Assign interference to the rotating ring — roughly j5 on a 10 mm rotating shaft with an H7 housing — and let the stationary ring slide for axial setting; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
• Mount by induction-heating the inner ring to max 120 °C — the PA66 cage sets the ceiling, not the steel; driving the bearing home through the outer ring or balls brinells the asymmetric raceway.
• The steep 40° angle of 7200-BECBP favours thrust-heavy combined loads; for a predominantly radial high-speed position the 25° ACCBM execution of the same size is the alternative order number.
• Universally matchable BECBP bearings arrive ready for set mounting, not preloaded sets: preload results from how the set is clamped, so follow the SKF stand-off-ring and nut-torque procedure.
