SKF BE-2RZP/GWF series angular contact bearings are components designed to support combined radial and axial loads in a single direction. Their design includes low-friction seals and special high-temperature grease lubrication, making them suitable for demanding applications. They are used in equipment requiring precision and reliability, such as electric motors, pumps and industrial fans. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply this SKF line, an official brand we represent, and we advise you so you choose the correct bearing for your application.
The BE-2RZP/GWF designation is interpreted as follows: the prefix BE indicates an angular contact design with optimized load capacity and a 40° contact angle. The suffix 2RZP indicates that the bearing has two low-friction seals (RZ) and a polyamide cage (P). Meanwhile, GWF specifies that it is factory-lubricated with high-temperature grease and for high-speed conditions. Examples in this series, such as 7306 BE-2RZP/GWF and 7308 BE-2RZP/GWF, show the bore diameter in the numeric prefix (30 mm and 40 mm respectively) and the rest of the characteristics in the suffixes. Knowing this nomenclature allows you to quickly identify the bearing's performance features.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina. They are common in medium and large electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes. They are also found in power transmission equipment, such as machine tools and conveyor systems. Their ability to support axial loads in one direction makes them ideal for arrangements where the shaft must be axially located. Industries such as food processing, chemical, petrochemical and steel often require this type of bearing for its robustness and resistance to high-temperature environments.
To correctly select an angular contact bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of the loads, the rotational speed and the environmental conditions. The 2RZP seal protects against contaminant ingress and retains grease, but verify that the environment does not expose the bearing to temperatures higher than those the GWF grease can withstand. During installation, it is essential to precisely align the rings and apply the proper preload; incorrect mounting can cause premature failure. Lubrication is already factory-applied, but if the bearing is subjected to severe conditions, consult the need for relubrication. Cleanliness of the seat and the use of appropriate tools are key to a successful installation.
Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, SKF angular contact bearings with similar suffixes can be found from other manufacturers, but the designations are not universal. Each brand uses its own codes to indicate sealing, cage, lubrication and tolerances. Therefore, when replacing a bearing, do not rely only on dimensions; also consider the operating conditions and the performance indicated by the suffix. If you need an alternative, it is advisable to verify the technical specifications and consult a specialist. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you find the right replacement within the brands we supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the GWF suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The GWF suffix indicates that the bearing is factory-lubricated with a special grease for high temperatures and high speed. This grease allows operation under demanding conditions without immediate relubrication.
- Is this bearing suitable for axial loads in both directions?
- No, single-row angular contact bearings support axial loads in one direction only. For loads in both directions, two bearings must be mounted in opposition or another bearing type must be selected.
- How do I know if I can replace an SKF with another brand?
- You must compare not only dimensions but also the type of seal, cage, lubrication and tolerance. Designations vary between manufacturers, so it is essential to verify the technical specifications before replacing.
