How the 7202-ACCBM model number is decoded

7202 ACCBM is SKF's 15 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7200 series, nominal 25° (AC) contact angle, 15×35×11 mm to the ISO dimension plan. AC sets the 25° contact angle, CB marks universal matching with Normal axial clearance, and M the machined brass ball-centred cage. 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. 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 15×35×11 mm (0.591×1.378×0.433 in), 10.0 mm radial section height, C 10.2 kN, C0 5.2 kN, Pu 0.224 kN.reference speed 26,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 40,000 r/min (mechanical), catalogue mass 45 g. Envelope economics: the 11 mm width over a 10.0 mm section yields 1.10 mm of ring width per section millimetre, and the bearing weighs 45 g for 10.2 kN of dynamic capacity — about 4 g per rated kN. Speed planning distinguishes the two published ceilings mechanically: the cage and balls tolerate 40,000 r/min while thermal balance under catalogue load sets the 26,000 r/min reference; at dm ≈ 25.0 mm the corresponding dn is approximately 1,000k mm·r/min. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 35 over bore 15 is a 2.33× step for this size, and the 11 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 1.36; use these ratios when housing space around the 15 mm shaft is the first constraint. High-angle alternative note: ACCBM carries the 25-degree AC contact angle (not the 40-degree B), CB Normal-clearance universal faces and a machined brass cage; it runs faster and cooler than a BECBM of the same envelope but accepts a smaller axial share, so substitute only after re-running the load-ratio check.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Assign interference to the rotating ring — roughly j5 on a 15 mm rotating shaft with an H7 housing — and let the stationary ring slide for axial setting; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
• Keep the load ratio in the SKF design range: Fa/Fr ≥ 0,55 for this angle; below it the balls unload the contact ellipse and skid, which is why the catalogue insists on a minimum axial load (Fam ≈ A·(n·dm/1000)²) at high speed.
• Do not mix execution classes inside one set: a universally matchable ACCBM unit is ground for arbitrary pairing, a basic execution is not.
• Assign interference to the rotating ring — roughly j5 on a 15 mm rotating shaft with an H7 housing — and let the stationary ring slide for axial setting; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
• The 25° AC angle of 7202-ACCBM runs faster and cooler than a 40° B bearing of the same envelope, but its thrust capacity and induced-load behaviour differ — do not swap AC for B without re-running the axial-load calculation.
• Universally matchable ACCBM 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.
