How the 7307-BEGAPH model number is decoded

7307 BEGAPH is SKF's 35 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7300 series, nominal 40° (B) contact angle, 35×80×21 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 35×80×21 mm (1.378×3.15×0.827 in), 22.5 mm radial section height, C 41.5 kN, C0 26.5 kN, Pu 1.14 kN.reference speed 11,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 11,000 r/min (mechanical), which coincide for this size, catalogue mass 450 g. Load balance: C0 26.5 kN against C 41.5 kN gives a 0.64 ratio, typical of a steep-angle axial-oriented design; Pu 1.14 kN enters the SKF adjusted-life equation rather than the basic rating life. Speed planning distinguishes the two published ceilings mechanically: the cage and balls tolerate 11,000 r/min while thermal balance under catalogue load sets the 11,000 r/min reference; at dm ≈ 57.5 mm the corresponding dn is approximately 633k mm·r/min. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: the reference speed is 11,000 r/min against a 11,000 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

Common applications

  • machine-tool spindles and spindle units
  • servo drives and precision gearboxes
  • gear pumps and screw-type pumps

Known failure patterns

  • thermal preload runaway in a back-to-back pair when inner-ring heat cannot expand away
  • false brinelling on idle paired sets exposed to machine vibration
  • raceway smearing under minimum-axial-load starvation at light load and high speed
  • PEEK cage wear plus preload drift when contaminated lubricant reaches the ball-centred pockets of a GA set
  • electrical pitting on VFD-driven shafts without grounding protection
  • fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • Fillet radii must clear the chamfer so the 21 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
  • Keep the load ratio in the SKF design range: Fa/Fr ≥ 1 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.
  • Keep the load ratio in the SKF design range: Fa/Fr ≥ 1 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.
  • Fillet radii must clear the chamfer so the 21 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
  • The steep 40° angle of 7307-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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 7307-BEGAPH?

7307 BEGAPH measures 35 mm bore × 80 mm OD × 21 mm width (1.378 × 3.15 × 0.827 in), mass about 450 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 41.5 kN, C0 26.5 kN, Pu 1.14 kN, reference speed 11,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 11,000 r/min (mechanical), which coincide for this size.

What does the BEGAPH 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 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.

Which grease and fill for 7307-BEGAPH?

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 11,000 r/min ceiling.

What do the reference and limiting speeds mean for 7307-BEGAPH?

The 11,000 r/min reference (thermal) and 11,000 r/min limiting (mechanical) speeds are catalogue conditions; preload, lubrication and heat removal move the permissible value, so re-calculate for the actual arrangement.
