SKF angular contact ball bearings are components designed to support simultaneous radial and axial loads. Their design with raceways and balls in angular contact allows superior performance in applications where precision and load capacity are critical. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply this line for the Argentine market, with technical advice so you can choose the right model for your application.
The designation of these bearings follows a clear scheme. For example, in 7226 BM, the prefix 72 indicates the dimension series, the number 26 the size, and the suffix BM indicates a machined brass cage and a 40° contact angle. In 7405 BM, the prefix 74 corresponds to another series with higher capacity. The suffix BM is common to all examples and defines manufacturing characteristics that influence mounting and lubrication.
They are used in applications with combined loads: gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, compressors, machine tool spindles and transmission equipment. In Argentine industry, they are common in the metalworking, food and petrochemical sectors. Their ability to run at high speeds and withstand axial forces makes them suitable for tandem or paired arrangements, depending on the load direction.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the magnitude and direction of the loads, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Sealing or shields prevent contamination; internal clearance must be chosen according to temperature and fit. Proper lubrication and precise alignment during mounting are key to service life. If mounting in pairs, respect the arrangement and preload specified by the manufacturer.
There are cross-references between brands for angular contact ball bearings, but they are not universal. The same part number may vary in suffixes, cage or tolerances. Always verify the critical dimensions and operating conditions before replacing one bearing with another of a different brand. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on interchangeability, but the final decision must be based on the technical specifications of each application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the BM suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The BM suffix indicates a machined brass cage and a 40° contact angle. This configuration is common in angular contact ball bearings for combined loads and high speeds. Always verify the complete part number to ensure compatibility.
- How do I choose between an angular contact ball bearing and a deep groove ball bearing?
- If your application has significant axial loads in one direction, the angular contact bearing is more suitable. For mainly radial loads, a deep groove ball bearing may be sufficient. Also consider speed and mounting space.
- Can I replace an angular contact ball bearing with one from another brand?
- Sometimes yes, but not always. The main dimensions may match, but suffixes, cages and tolerances vary. Consult us with the original part number and operating conditions to evaluate interchangeability.
