SKF 7211 BEP 55x100x21 - Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Applications

The SKF 7211 BEP (55x100x21 mm) is a single-row angular contact ball bearing designed for combined axial and radial loads. With a 40° contact angle, this bearing provides excellent performance under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, making it ideal for demanding industrial and mechanical applications.

It is commonly used in electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, compressors, and machine tools, where precision, rigidity, and low vibration are essential. The BEP designation indicates a reinforced cage and optimized internal geometry for smooth operation, reduced friction, and longer bearing life - key benefits in professional B2B environments such as manufacturing and automation systems.

Advantages

• High load-carrying capacity - supports both radial and axial loads in one direction.

• Optimized 40° contact angle - ensures superior axial stiffness and precise shaft alignment.

• Reinforced polyamide cage (BEP) - enhances durability and high-speed capability.

• Reduced operating noise and vibration - designed for precision applications.

• Long service life - made from premium bearing steel, resistant to wear and fatigue.

• Easy integration - compatible with standard housings and bearing units.
