How to read SKF 7308 BEM1
- 73Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 73 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 08Bore
- 40 mm bore: 08 × 5.
- BEM1Suffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
7308 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

SKF angular contact bearings are components designed to withstand radial and axial loads in one direction. Their design with offset raceways allows oblique contact between balls and raceways, providing high axial load capacity. They are used in applications requiring precision and rigidity, such as pumps, compressors and spindles. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry this line and advise you so you choose the correct bearing for your equipment.
The designation of these bearings combines numbers and letters that indicate key characteristics. For example, in 7308 BEM1, the numeric prefix identifies the dimension series, while the following letters indicate particularities: the B indicates a 40° contact angle, the E refers to a reinforced polyamide cage, the M to a brass cage and the 1 to a specific internal design. Knowing these suffixes is essential to select the bearing that best suits your application.
These bearings are used in industries such as food, petrochemical, steel and machine tools. In Argentina, they are common in centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, gearboxes and milling machine spindles. Their ability to withstand combined loads makes them ideal for equipment operating at moderate and high speeds, where precision and rigidity are critical for the performance and service life of the assembly.
To select the right bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of the loads, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Sealing is crucial: open bearings require external lubrication and protection against contaminants, while sealed versions offer greater durability. Mounting must ensure precise alignment and adequate internal clearance; incorrect fitting can cause overheating and premature failures. Lubrication must be the one recommended by the manufacturer.
SKF angular contact bearings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, as long as dimensions, contact angle and load capacity match. It is essential to verify tolerances and cage design, as they affect performance. When looking for a replacement, compare the complete designations and consult a specialist to ensure compatibility. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you find the best option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 7308 BEM1 bearing?
- The SKF 7308 BEM1 bearing has a 40 mm bore, a 90 mm outside diameter and a 23 mm width (40 x 90 x 23 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 7308.
- What does the BEM1 suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- In the designation 7308 BEM1, the B indicates a 40° contact angle, the E a reinforced polyamide cage, the M a brass cage and the 1 a specific internal design. These suffixes define construction characteristics that influence the performance and application of the bearing.
- How do I choose between a sealed and an open bearing?
- Open bearings require external lubrication and are suitable for clean environments and high speeds. Sealed or shielded bearings retain lubricant and protect against contaminants, ideal for dirty or humid environments. The choice depends on operating conditions and available maintenance.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as dimensions, contact angle and load capacity are equivalent. Check tolerances and cage type, as they affect performance. Consult us with the original part number and we will advise you to find the best alternative.
