How the 7206-ACCBM model number is decoded

7206 ACCBM is SKF's 30 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7200 series, nominal 25° (AC) contact angle, 30×62×16 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 30×62×16 mm (1.181×2.441×0.63 in), 16.0 mm radial section height, C 27.5 kN, C0 17.3 kN, Pu 0.735 kN.reference speed 15,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 20,000 r/min (mechanical), catalogue mass 200 g. Selection figures for 7206 ACCBM: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 0.63, Pu 0.735 kN is about 3 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 7 g per millimetre of bore. At the printed limiting speed of 20,000 r/min the mean pitch diameter dm ≈ 46.0 mm implies a dn value around 920k mm·r/min; the 15,000 r/min reference speed is the thermal-planning figure under catalogue load. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 62 over bore 30 is a 2.07× step for this size, and the 16 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 1.88; use these ratios when housing space around the 30 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

• Greased positions should fill roughly 25–35 % of the free volume on a 7206-ACCBM of this section and route the surplus past the outer ring; overpacking churns the grease and reproduces the thermal preload problem mechanically.
• DB pairs give the highest moment stiffness, DF pairs tolerate misalignment and thermal expansion better, DT shares heavy one-direction thrust; choose from the shaft thermal calculation rather than by habit.
• Preload the set against a calculated stand-off dimension — the ground faces of ACCBM establish it, but locknut torque, sleeve crush and housing-face squareness each consume part of the allowance.
• 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.
• The 25° AC angle of 7206-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.
