How the 7213-BEGAPH model number is decoded

7213 BEGAPH is SKF's 65 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7200 series, nominal 40° (B) contact angle, 65×120×23 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 PEEK cage, ball-centred (suffix PH), keeping the polymer-cage speed advantage well above the PA66 temperature range. GA marks universal matching with light factory preload for back-to-back or face-to-face sets — stiffer than CB clearance while generating less heat than GB/GC. BEGAPH combines light-preload (GA) universal matching with a PEEK ball-centred cage. Envelope 65×120×23 mm (2.559×4.724×0.906 in), 27.5 mm radial section height, C 69.5 kN, C0 57 kN, Pu 2.45 kN.reference speed 6,700 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 6,700 r/min (mechanical), which coincide for this size, catalogue mass 1000 g. The 2.45 kN fatigue load limit is the equivalent-load floor for long-life adjustment; with 69.5/57 kN ratings and 1000 g mass this execution carries about 1.07 kN of C per millimetre of bore. Selection figures for 7213 BEGAPH: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 0.82, Pu 2.45 kN is about 4 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 15 g per millimetre of bore. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: the reference speed is 6,700 r/min against a 6,700 r/min limiting speed, i.e. a reference-to-limit ratio of 1.00. Preload and cage note: BEGAPH arrives as a universally matchable unit with GA light preload already defined for back-to-back or face-to-face sets, combined with the glass-fibre PEEK ball-centred cage for high-speed duty; it replaces field preload adjustment, not the need for correct stand-off geometry.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Preload the set against a calculated stand-off dimension — the ground faces of BEGAPH establish it, but locknut torque, sleeve crush and housing-face squareness each consume part of the allowance.
• Do not mix execution classes inside one set: a universally matchable BEGAPH unit is ground for arbitrary pairing, a basic execution is not.
• Preload the set against a calculated stand-off dimension — the ground faces of BEGAPH establish it, but locknut torque, sleeve crush and housing-face squareness each consume part of the allowance.
• One 7213-BEGAPH locates the shaft in one axial direction only; reversing-thrust positions need a DB or DF pair — or a double-row bearing — with preload set from the load diagram, never from assembly feel.
• The steep 40° angle of 7213-BEGAPH 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 BEGAPH 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.
