SKF angular contact bearings are components designed to support combined radial and axial loads. Their design with offset raceways allows oblique 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, gearboxes and industrial equipment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply the SKF brand so you can choose the right solution for your application.
The BECAP series designation is interpreted as follows: the letter B indicates a 40° contact angle, which defines the axial load capacity; the letters EC refer to an optimized internal design, with a polyamide cage and a greater number of balls; the A indicates a standard execution variant; and the final P indicates normal precision tolerance. For example, the code 7308 BECAP corresponds to a bearing of the 73 series, with BECAP characteristics. Knowing these suffixes allows you to quickly identify the product's features.
These bearings are used in industries such as metalworking, petrochemical, food and process industries. In Argentina, they are commonly found in main spindles of milling machines and lathes, centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, speed reducers and transmission equipment. Their ability to support axial loads in one direction makes them ideal for paired arrangements, where two bearings are combined to absorb forces in both directions. They are also used in applications requiring high rigidity and rotational precision.
To correctly select an angular contact bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of the loads, the operating speed and the environmental conditions. Mounting must ensure precise alignment; in many cases an adjustment with controlled preload is required. Proper lubrication, whether grease or oil, is essential for service life. Sealing will depend on the contamination present. If the bearing is paired, verify the axial clearance and the correct arrangement according to the manufacturer. If in doubt, consult our technical team.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF angular contact bearings can be replaced by products from other brands that follow the same international designation, such as FAG, NSK, NTN or Timken, as long as dimensions and tolerances match. It is important to verify the contact angle and internal design, since small differences can affect performance. Not all suffixes are equivalent between manufacturers, so it is recommended to validate the application. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you to find the best option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the suffix BECAP mean in an SKF bearing?
- BECAP indicates a 40° contact angle, optimized internal design with polyamide cage, standard execution and normal precision tolerance. These suffixes define key characteristics for selection according to the application.
- How are angular contact bearings mounted?
- They are generally mounted in pairs to support axial loads in both directions. Precise alignment is crucial and, in many cases, controlled preload. Lubrication and sealing must be chosen according to the working conditions.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the international designation matches in dimensions and tolerances. Brands such as FAG, NSK or NTN can be equivalent, but verify the contact angle and internal design, as they can vary between manufacturers.
