How to read SKF 7312 BEGAY
- 73Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 73 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 12Bore
- 60 mm bore: 12 × 5.
- BEGAYSuffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
7312 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

SKF BEGAY series angular contact bearings are components designed to support combined radial and axial loads in a single direction. Their raceway and ball design in angular contact allows high speeds and higher rigidity than deep groove ball bearings. They are used in applications requiring precision and load capacity, such as pumps, compressors, spindles and gearboxes. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry this line.
The designation of these bearings follows a clear scheme. For example, in 7310 BEGAY, the prefix 73 indicates that it is a single row angular contact bearing with a specific raceway design. The number 10 corresponds to the size code, which in the 73 series usually implies a bore diameter of 50 mm. The suffixes BEGAY provide key information: BE indicates a 40° contact angle, GA indicates reduced internal clearance, and Y may refer to a machined brass cage. These details are essential for selecting the right bearing for the application.
These bearings are used in industries such as petrochemical, food, steel and power generation. In Argentina, they are common in centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, gearboxes, machine tool spindles and transmission equipment. Their ability to support axial loads in one direction makes them ideal for paired arrangements, where two bearings are installed face-to-face to absorb forces in both directions. They are also used in high-speed applications where precision and rigidity are critical.
To correctly select an angular contact bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of the loads, the rotational speed and the environmental conditions. Sealing is crucial: if there are contaminants, choose variants with seals or shields. The internal clearance must be suitable to prevent overheating or noise. Lubrication can be grease or oil, depending on speed and temperature. During mounting, ensure precise alignment and correct fit, as these bearings are sensitive to mounting errors that can reduce their service life.
On the market there are angular contact bearings from various brands that can be interchangeable with each other, as long as the main dimensions and load capacities match. Series and suffixes may vary by manufacturer, so it is important to verify equivalences. SKF offers a wide range with different contact angles and clearances. When looking for a replacement, compare not only the part number but also the technical specifications. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on the best option for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 7312 BEGAY bearing?
- The SKF 7312 BEGAY bearing has a 60 mm bore, a 130 mm outside diameter and a 31 mm width (60 x 130 x 31 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 7312.
- What does the BEGAY suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The BEGAY suffix indicates specific characteristics: BE corresponds to a 40° contact angle, GA to reduced internal clearance, and Y to a machined brass cage. These details define the bearing's behavior in terms of load capacity and speed.
- How are angular contact bearings mounted?
- They are generally mounted in pairs, face-to-face or in tandem, to support axial loads in both directions. Precise alignment and proper fit are essential to avoid premature failure. Lubrication and sealing must be selected according to the working conditions.
- Can I replace an SKF BEGAY bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the dimensions and load capacities are equivalent. Designations may vary between manufacturers, so it is recommended to verify the technical specifications. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you find the right equivalent.
