SKF 72 BEGAP series angular contact bearings are components designed to support combined radial and axial loads in a single direction. Their contact angle design makes them suitable for applications requiring high precision and rigidity, such as machine tool spindles, pumps and gearboxes. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry them as part of our SKF bearing line, backed by more than 80 years in the Argentine industrial market.
The 72 BEGAP designation is interpreted as follows: the prefix 72 indicates the dimension series, which in this case corresponds to a medium section with a moderate outside diameter. The letters B indicate a 40° contact angle, which gives it greater axial load capacity than lower-angle angular contact bearings. E indicates that the bearing has a glass fiber reinforced polyamide cage, suitable for high speeds. G refers to lubrication with high-quality grease for long life. A indicates an optimized internal design. P indicates normal precision tolerance. Examples: 7201 BEGAP, 7202 BEGAP, 7203 BEGAP, 7204 BEGAP, 7205 BEGAP, 7206 BEGAP, 7207 BEGAP, 7208 BEGAP.
These bearings are used in applications with significant axial loads in one direction, such as centrifugal pumps, compressors, milling and grinding machine spindles, gearboxes and textile machinery. In Argentina, they are common in the metalworking, food and petrochemical industries. Their ability to run at high speeds and their rigidity make them suitable for equipment requiring rotational precision, such as machine tool spindles and printing machine drive shafts.
To select the right bearing, take into account the axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the available space. Mounting must be done with the contact angle in the correct direction, generally with the chamfered side of the outer ring facing the axial load. Precise alignment between the supports and adequate lubrication are essential; in this case, the G grease is already incorporated, but check the temperature and contamination conditions. The sealing, if not integral, must be protected with additional radial shaft seals. The polyamide E cage is resistant but not suitable for extreme temperatures.
As for equivalents, SKF angular contact bearings can be interchanged with those from other brands that follow the same ISO designation, such as FAG, NSK or NTN, as long as dimensions and contact angle match. However, tolerances and internal clearance may vary between manufacturers, so it is advisable to verify the specifications before replacing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on compatibility and available alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the BEGAP suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- B indicates a 40° contact angle, E a polyamide cage, G grease lubrication, A an optimized internal design and P normal tolerance. These suffixes define key characteristics for selection.
- Can I mount a 72 BEGAP bearing instead of one from another brand?
- Yes, if dimensions and contact angle match. Check tolerances and internal clearance, as they may vary between manufacturers. Ask us about the exact equivalent.
- What are the typical applications of 72 series angular contact bearings?
- They are used in pumps, compressors, machine tool spindles, gearboxes and equipment that must support axial loads in one direction with high precision.
