How the 7306-BE-2RZP model number is decoded
7306 BE-2RZP is SKF's 30 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7300 series, nominal 40° (B) contact angle, 30×72×19 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. -2RZ marks non-contact NBR seals on both sides riding in recessed grooves: they keep contamination and the standard grease fill in without lip drag, and P again denotes the PA66 cage. Envelope 30×72×19 mm (1.181×2.835×0.748 in), 21.0 mm radial section height, C 32.5 kN, C0 19.3 kN, Pu 0.815 kN.reference speed 12,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 9,500 r/min (mechanical), catalogue mass 350 g. Selection figures for 7306 BE-2RZP: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 0.59, Pu 0.815 kN is about 3 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 12 g per millimetre of bore. Load balance: C0 19.3 kN against C 32.5 kN gives a 0.59 ratio, typical of a steep-angle axial-oriented design; Pu 0.815 kN enters the SKF adjusted-life equation rather than the basic rating life. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: the reference speed is 12,000 r/min against a 9,500 r/min limiting speed, i.e. a reference-to-limit ratio of 1.26. Sealing note: the two non-contact NBR -2RZ seals run in recessed grooves without touching the inner ring, so drag and speed loss stay small while the standard grease fill is retained and coarse dust is excluded; they are not lip-contact seals, so pressure washing and fine slurry still require external housing seals. The uncapped BECBP/BEP executions are the open counterparts.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- test-rig and balancing-machine shafts
- machine-tool spindles and spindle units
- servo drives and precision gearboxes
Known failure patterns
- preload loss as a loosely clamped set runs slack and the balls smear the raceways
- thermal preload runaway in a back-to-back pair when inner-ring heat cannot expand away
- ball skidding when Fa/Fr stays below the 1,0 (40°) or 0,55 (25°) ratio and the contact ellipse is unloaded
- grease ageing inside the non-contact-sealed cavity after long service with no relubrication access
- brinelling from pressing the ring home through the balls or from static overload
- brinelling from pressing the ring home through the balls or from static overload
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- One 7306-BE-2RZP 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.
- At 30 mm bore the k5 seat assumes a steel shaft and housing; aluminium housings grow faster with temperature, so re-check the outer-ring setting when the case is non-ferrous.
- Fillet radii must clear the chamfer so the 19 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
- Preload the set against a calculated stand-off dimension — the ground faces of BE-2RZP establish it, but locknut torque, sleeve crush and housing-face squareness each consume part of the allowance.
- The steep 40° angle of 7306-BE-2RZP 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.
- The non-contact -2RZ seals of 7306-BE-2RZP add little drag but are not contact seals; in wet or fine-dust duty retain external sealing at the housing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 7306-BE-2RZP?
7306 BE-2RZP measures 30 mm bore × 72 mm OD × 19 mm width (1.181 × 2.835 × 0.748 in), mass about 350 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 32.5 kN, C0 19.3 kN, Pu 0.815 kN, reference speed 12,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 9,500 r/min (mechanical).
What does the BE-2RZP suffix mean?
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. -2RZ marks non-contact NBR seals on both sides riding in recessed grooves: they keep contamination and the standard grease fill in without lip drag, and P again denotes the PA66 cage.
Which fits should I use for 7306-BE-2RZP?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly k5 on the 30 mm shaft and H7 in the housing; give the stationary ring a slide fit for axial setting, and reverse the logic when the outer ring rotates.
Which grease and fill for 7306-BE-2RZP?
A premium mineral-oil grease with polyurea or lithium complex thickener and NLGI 2 consistency suits normal operating temperature; fill roughly 25–35 % of the free volume, and stay within the — the PA66 cage sets the ceiling, not the steel. Oil-air or oil-jet lubrication is the choice near the 9,500 r/min ceiling.
