How the 7315-BEGAPH model number is decoded

7315 BEGAPH is SKF's 75 mm-bore single-row angular-contact ball bearing in the 7300 series, nominal 40° (B) contact angle, 75×160×37 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 75×160×37 mm (2.953×6.299×1.457 in), 42.5 mm radial section height, C 132 kN, C0 104 kN, Pu 4.15 kN.reference speed 5,300 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 5,300 r/min (mechanical), which coincide for this size, catalogue mass 3200 g. Envelope economics: the 37 mm width over a 42.5 mm section yields 0.87 mm of ring width per section millimetre, and the bearing weighs 3200 g for 132 kN of dynamic capacity — about 24 g per rated kN. Selection figures for 7315 BEGAPH: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 0.79, Pu 4.15 kN is about 3 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 43 g per millimetre of bore. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 160 over bore 75 is a 2.13× step for this size, and the 37 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 2.03; use these ratios when housing space around the 75 mm shaft is the first constraint. 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

• One 7315-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.
• Reference and limiting speeds are different ceilings: design to both, and remember preload and oil/air cooling move the real thermal limit far from the catalogue reference value.
• Assign interference to the rotating ring — roughly k5 on a 75 mm rotating shaft with an H7 housing — and let the stationary ring slide for axial setting; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
• Mount by induction-heating the inner ring to max 120 °C — the PA66 cage sets the ceiling, not the steel; driving the bearing home through the outer ring or balls brinells the asymmetric raceway.
• The steep 40° angle of 7315-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.
