SKF BMB-6202/U004A is a special bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for BMB-6202/U004A via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF BMB-6202/U004A bearing is a BMB series thrust ball bearing, designed to carry predominantly axial loads in a single direction. It is used in applications requiring high precision and load capacity, such as gearboxes, pumps and compressors. Its single-row ball design allows moderate speeds and simple mounting. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this reference as part of its special bearing line, with technical advice to select the right variant.
The designation BMB-#/U…A is interpreted as follows: the BMB prefix identifies the single-row thrust ball bearing series. The first number after the hyphen indicates the bore diameter and size, coded according to the standard. The U…A suffix indicates an internal execution variant, usually related to the cage type or surface treatment. For example, in BMB-6202/U004A, the code 6202 corresponds to a 15 mm bore diameter and associated dimensions, while U004A defines a specific modification.

In Argentine industry, SKF BMB thrust ball bearings are used in pumping equipment, industrial fans, gear reducers and machine tools. They also appear in power transmission applications where axial thrust must be absorbed in one direction, such as in lathe spindles or presses. Their ability to operate at medium speeds makes them suitable for electric motors and reciprocating compressors. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them for replacement and new projects in food, chemical and metalworking plants.
To correctly select a thrust ball bearing, take into account the axial load it must carry, the rotation speed and the available space. It is essential to verify that the load does not exceed the capacity of the series and that lubrication is adequate: grease for slow applications or oil for high speeds. Mounting requires that the support surfaces be parallel and aligned, since these bearings do not tolerate angular misalignment. In addition, sealing or protective covers prevent contamination, extending service life.
As for equivalents, thrust ball bearings from other brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions and execution type match. However, not all suffixes are equivalent; a U004A variant may have a different cage or clearance than another brand. Therefore, it is always advisable to verify the complete code and operating conditions before replacing. SKF bearings are recognized for their quality and reliability, and MR Accesorios Industriales offers them as part of its official brand catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the U004A suffix mean in the code BMB-6202/U004A?
- The U004A suffix indicates an internal execution variant of the bearing, which may include a specific cage type, a particular axial clearance or a surface treatment. To learn the exact characteristics of this reference, consult our technical team.
- Does this bearing allow misalignment between shaft and housing?
- No, BMB series thrust ball bearings are not designed to tolerate angular misalignment. The support surfaces must be parallel and correctly aligned to avoid additional loads and premature failures.
- How do I choose between a thrust ball bearing and a roller bearing?
- The choice depends on the magnitude of the axial load and the speed. Thrust ball bearings are suitable for moderate loads and medium or high speeds; roller bearings are preferred for very high loads and low speeds. Consult us for personalized advice.
