SKF BGAM series angular contact bearings are components designed to support combined radial and axial loads. Their inclined raceway design allows angular contact between balls and raceways, providing high axial load capacity in one direction. They are used in applications requiring rigidity and precision, such as machine tool spindles, pumps and gearboxes. At MR Accesorios Industriales we stock this SKF line, an official brand we represent, and we advise you to choose the right bearing for your application.

The designation of the BGAM series is interpreted as follows: the initial number (for example, 7224, 7226 or 7230) indicates the size and dimensional series. The BGAM suffix provides specific characteristics: the letter B usually indicates a 40° contact angle, while GAM may refer to a machined brass cage, ball-guided, and other design particularities. To know the exact dimensions and tolerances of each item, it is essential to consult the corresponding technical data sheet, since not all suffix combinations share the same values.

These bearings are used in Argentine industries such as metalworking, food and petrochemical. Typical applications include main spindles of milling machines and lathes, process centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, speed reducers and power transmission equipment. Their ability to support axial loads in one direction makes them suitable for assemblies where the shaft must be axially located. They are also found in textile machines, cranes and material handling equipment, where precision and durability are critical.

To correctly select an angular contact bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of loads, rotation speed and environmental conditions. Sealing is key: open designs require external lubrication and can become contaminated, while sealed or shielded variants offer greater protection. Internal clearance and preload must be adjusted according to the application; in paired assemblies, preload improves rigidity but increases friction. Alignment between shaft and housing is essential to avoid parasitic stresses. Proper lubrication, whether grease or oil, extends service life and reduces maintenance.

Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF BGAM series bearings can be replaced by products from other brands that follow the same dimensional and suffix designation. However, tolerances and load capacities may vary between manufacturers, so compatibility must always be verified before substituting. Factors such as contact angle, cage type and internal clearance must match to ensure equivalent operation. Not all brands offer exactly the same performance, so it is advisable to consult the technical specifications of each option.
